I have an adopted son who is from a country in South America and who looks very much like Nestor. [b]I would never refer to him as "my non-white son". [/b]Never. Did he really do that?[b] I would also never infer to anyone that it was harder to raise my child or that I have some special insight that they don't have about raising a child. [/b]

Nestor looks white to me (caucasian, with roots in Spain which is Europe which is white). If he is mostly Spanish, he probably has European tribal roots (Iberians, Celts, Phoenicians, Greeks,Carthaginians, Basques) possibly Arab, and Jewish roots mixed in (because those were the groups that populated Spain). He is not "non-white". He is hispanic, but hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race.

Now that he has used his kid to make some kind of a statement, I think he has opened himself up to answering questions about his child rearing experience to which he alludes. [/quote]
Exactly. Why mention his ‘son’s’ heritage at all, except to make some weird kind of political point? If Nestor is Gaetz’s biological son (which sounds reasonably plausible), why state that he is not related ‘by blood’? I can only imagine how Nestor must feel about all of this. I hate to think that there is something more nefarious going on, but Gaetz is such a loathsome creature that it’s hard to see him stepping up to raise a random child from another country, especially by himself. This is all very peculiar.[/quote]

The “non-white son” thing is a continued response to the exchange between Gaetz and Rep. Cedric Richmond on the House floor yesterday here:
