Why This Photo Of Ivanka Trump Is Causing Outrage

President Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, are under fire again.Over the weekend, Ivanka Trump posted a photo of herself seated next to German Chancellor Angela Merkel to her Twitter. Trump and Merkel were both in a "robust discussion" about Workforce Development during the most recent diplomatic visit between U.S. and Germany at the White House. According to the Associated Press’ report, Trump even “recruited the American executives in attendance” and “guided the discussion”.



Since the posting of the photo, there has more than a bit of backlash against Ivanka, with political commentators questioning her presence in a meeting of foreign leaders.

Matt McDermott, Senior analyst at Whitman Insight Strategies, joined a host of voices who expressed outrage and concern that the daughter of the President would be invited to an official discussion between CEOs and world leaders.

"There is no earthly reason why Ivanka Trump belongs in a meeting with a foreign leader, let alone seated immediately beside them," he wrote on his Twitter.



“Imagine if Hillary Clinton met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chelsea Clinton was seated next to her for official meeting. You can't. It's unimaginable.”

A European politician also chimed in, tweeting, “The key relation btw Germany & USA is a serious matter. It shall not be family business I disagree with Ivanka Trump presence.”



Since then, several people have taken to Twitter and Instagram to slam Ivanka’s presence at the discussion, calling for her involvement in serious political matters to be scaled back.





Since the appointment of Trump as president, Ivanka’s role as the ‘honorary First Lady’, in place of Trump’s wife Melania, has been under intense scrutiny. Ivanka has expressed distaste for those “inappropriate” rumours.

I mentioned El Paso because it is over 80% hispanic, out which 96 percent is mexican american. It is a fairly big city. So if one wants to make a blanket statement about tendency of mexican-american towards violent crime, El Paso will be a good data point to test the theory.

Here is some information about the hispanic (and mexican) population distribution in US metropolitan areas.

pewhispanic.org

And here is the data about crime rates again.

en.wikipedia.org

Laredo, Texas is another city with over 90% mexican population. And the violent crime rate is low very close to that of El Paso at 379/100,000 population.

El Centro California - Over 80% mexican - violent crime rate is 373/100,000

Las Cruces, New Mexico - About 65 % Mexican origin - 283/100,000

It is difficult to find other metropolitan areas in US with higher mexican origin population.

Now this site claims to know about the whitest metropolitan areas in USA:

hailtoyou.wordpress.com

The Top 3 whitest metropolitan areas with their stats for violent crime :

Pittsburgh - 706/100,000
Cincinnati - 925/100,000
Buffalo - 1118/100,000

Wow! I did not expect this much difference. These cities need more mexican immigrants!
