The majority of drug dealers in tenderloin were/are in fact Honduran.

[markpinera]

Apology not needed. She was speaking facts

[Noahdaceo]

Don’t apologize to us Latinos. As a native San Franciscan born and raised here and an American citizen, do not apologize. Mexico and south of Mexico, are to blame for the drugs and cartels in our city, our state and our country. For once I agree and support Mayor Breed on this one. Stats and facts don’t need sorry’s, lies and inaction require a sorry.

Honduran is not an ethnicity, is a nationality.

[mikecoxx]

I am 1st generation Honduran, and I was deeply sadden by this racist comment.
She needs to resign

[tr]

Apologizing for speaking the truth. For once she said the truth.

[mrtchnical]

If the majority of drug dealers are from Honduras then she’s right. She has data that shows the majority of people who are making drug deals are from Honduras. What she said was not racist. People are soft nowadays lol

[lemontea]

Snowflakes complain when they can’t handle the truth. She’s not singling any community out. She’s just stating the majority of drug dealers are from a certain community.

[Neverender]

One of my Hispanic coworkers was talking about this a while back and as I am pretty ignorant to the subject I just listened for once. Turns out he wasn’t all wrong. I hold the truth higher than anyone’s feelings and there’s a lot more things we can be honest about when it comes to race in the Bay Area.

No one is apologizing about Black men robbing people. It’s true. Everyone has a piece of the crime pie. Even our sweet innocent Asians.

[Thedeskclerk]

It just not Hondurans its blacks, whites, asian, indians, and native Americans

[drainmonkeys]

Why must people apologize for telling the truth? I don’t agree with her on hardly anything.. but if it’s true.. it’s true

[propblastnd]

After this racist comment she should resign.

[BigG-]

Haven't had a Republican mayor since 1964. Making excuses for every person not doing what they should and committing crimes has not worked. Give the lady a chance. She should not apologize . Get with District attorney and police commissioner and straighten that place out. Drugs are wiping Americans out across the country. Start a stand there. If San Francisco can get straightened out there is hope for everywhere else.

I am a latino, and do not judge the mayor, bad actors have spoiled the 'sanctuary" city policies. And, yes it is true, the Honduras Cartel is the one providing the drugs. Yes, It is is true also that not all Hondurans are dealers, but most Hondurans in San Francisco are.

[scalelabs]

If this is the truth (data driven), why is she apologizing?

[MrVatera]

Sound like she hates Aisan and Latinos. She forced the Asian rapper to apologize. Recall SF Mayor.

[AR-scorp]

When is she going to tell the truth about most shoplifters are blacks, and all the Asian hatred came from Black people.

Let’s worry about getting the drugs and drug dealers out of the city before we worry about what we are saying and how we are saying it. They identified who the major contributors are it’s kids from Honduras. It’s ok to for right wingers to be right. We know everyone coming across that border isn’t here for good intentions we also know people are being exploited and we also know America has the biggest drug habit in the world. Those things have all converged. That’s it. No racism just identifying a problem and working on solution

[argentosebastian]

Imagine Trump saying this. But because she is a Democrat, is not so bad. And yes London, they are from HONDURAS and is the result of open borders and sanctuary cities.
