Former Vice President, Joe Biden, is facing major backlash after he made what some are calling racist remarks.
Biden spoke on education at a town hall in Iowa, hosted by the Asian and Latino Coalition. He said:
“We should challenge students in these schools that have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
After a brief pause, he corrected himself by saying:
“Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids, no, I really mean it, but think how we think about it.”
Biden’s campaign manager released a statement saying that Biden “misspoke and immediately corrected himself during a refrain he often uses to make the point that all children deserve a fair shot, and children born into lower-income circumstances are just as smart as those born to wealthy parents.”
Does this change your outlook on Biden for the upcoming Presidential election?
