NYT: Old white guys says all Latinos are soccer fans.

The New York Times interviews Don Garber, the commissioner of Major League Soccer.
He says the following:

"But please don’t forget that we signed 25 players from Argentina, Brazil and Colombia. They are all young, crafty, stylish, and that has allowed us to connect with a community of 40 million Hispanics in the United States.
The Mexican player Cuauhtémoc Blanco is to 40 million Hispanics what Beckham is to the rest of the world."

My comments.

Where do this old white guys come up making these sweeping statements that to my mind are stereotypes bordering on racist?

Just because we've got one Latino player on the field doesn't mean we're all into what they are doing.
