San Francisco Mayor London Breed is apologizing for comments she made during a show earlier this month.
The backlash wasn’t immediate until the video began circulating.
Some people were angry and accused the mayor of singling out Hondurans. While there were others who posted support for what she said.“I want to apologize to the Latino community for what I said and how I said it. In trying to explain what is happening in the Tenderloin, I failed to accurately and comprehensively discuss what is an incredibly complex situation in our city and in Central America.”
“I accept the apology only because we know that she meant well,” said Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President Carlos Solorzano. Solorzano said the chamber’s research in 2018 done in eight blocks of the Tenderloin showed most drug sellers were juveniles from Honduras, there to make money to send back to their families.“We also have to understand that not naming only one ethnicity that is not good enough anymore, with all the turmoil that we have between the Latino community, the African American, the Asian communities.
