Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso declares he's not white because he's Italian [View all]
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso insisted he's not white, but really Italian — and thus "Latin" — during an awkward debate moment Tuesday in the nation's second-largest city.
The billionaire real estate developer Caruso is facing off against U.S. Rep. Karen Bass, a Democrat seeking to become the city's first Black woman mayor.
Next month's election comes in the wake of the L.A. City Council President Nury Martinez stepping down from her leadership post and taking a leave of absence from the council, after an audio recording of her making racist remarks surfaced.
In bringing up that topic, Telemundo anchor Dunia Elvir stated: “The next mayor of Los Angeles will be either an African-American woman or a white man."
