The Magic Kings: If They Were Latinos?
from The Breakfast Podcast · host Patricia López Muñoz
According to Western Church tradition, we already know there are three Magic Kings, who, due to a mistranslation, were more accurately described as wise men. But this isn't important to me.Imagine three wealthy kings travelling through the desert today. Two are welcomed with open arms; the third is detained for questioning. This isn't a biblical story but a modern migration crisis.Undoubtedly, and in theory, if we applied immigration law, only two could cross the border, essentially creating a highly racist ethnic profile: Melchior and Gaspar are depicted as white, and Balthazar as black..Maybe they would be detained by the ICE if they were Latinos
