Meet Roan Garcia-Quintana - a Tea Party activist, a Cuban native, who sees himself as white, not Latino.
He's currently a board member of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), which has been listed as a white nationalist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. This group opposes "all efforts to mix the races of mankind" and to "promote non-white citizen races over the European-American people."
The Cuban immigrant is also the executive director of the anti-immigration group Americans Have Had Enough.
Is it just me, or does Mr. Garcia-Quintana sound slightly confused? I can only imagine a woman's reaction upon meeting him off a dating site.
Roan Garcia-Quintana: "Hello there. Trisha?"
Trisha White: "Yes. How did you know that? Do I know you?"
Garcia-Quintana: "Yes, it's Bob Johnson from E-Harmony."
White: "Wait...what? Is this a joke?"
Garcia-Quintana: "No, it's really me. Is something wrong?"
White: "You said you were white."
Garcia-Quintana: "I am."
White: "Uh... I'm also having trouble believing your name is Bob Johnson and you were, but weren't really born in Cuba as you contended."
Garcia-Quintana: ::hands her his ID:: "See for yourself..."
White: "It says your name is Roan Garcia-Quintana and you were born in Havana, Cuba. I thought you were anti-immigrant..."
Garcia-Quintana: "I am."
White: "Why did you tell me your name was Bob Johnson?"
Garcia-Quintana: "It is."
White: "So, you're anti-immigration, especially Latino-immigration, are kind of anti-Latino, yet are yourself a Latino immigrant?"
Garcia-Quintana: "Yes, everything but that last part."
White: "But you were born in Cuba and are Latino."
Garcia-Quintana: "That's not true. I'm as white as you are and am a South Carolina native, just like you."
White: "I'm actually from Georgia."
Garcia-Quintana: "Liar! I can only date South Carolinians."
White: "But you're not even one!"
Garcia-Quintana: "Whatever. You're in such denial."
White: "Denial appears to be a river in Cuba!"
Garcia-Quintana: "Ugh! I hate Cuba!"
White: "You're from there!"
Garcia-Quintana: "No, I'm not."
White: "Ugh!" ::stomps out of the Mexican restaurant::
