Redress


For John, BLUFNot The Cisco Kid, but Robin Hood.  Robin Hood represents an oppressed group of Anglo-Saxons being lorded over by Conquering Romance Language speaking invaders.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From Reuters, by Reporters Daina Beth Solomon and Sharay Angulo, 15 April 2019.

Here is the lede plus one:

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Monday he will create a “Robin Hood” institute to return to the people the ill-gotten wealth seized from corrupt politicians and gangsters.

His administration is drawing up a bill to create an independent “Robin Hood” institute “against the corrupt” that would put confiscated goods such as real estate, jewelry and cars into the public’s hands, the president told reporters.

I have my doubts about the execution, but it sets the right tone.  Good on AMLO.

My main question, however, is with regard to if this is "cultural appropriation".

Hat tip to the Drudge Report.
