I'm sure Congressman McClintock didn't mean to suggest that minorities only deserve a low wage... but unfortunately that's what he ends up saying here.
McClintock could have made a legitimate argument -- something like "a lower wage means more opportunities for more people", or a similar stance based on bad economic theories -- but instead he rambles about low wages are best for minorities because of a lack of skills.
I'm not an economist, but I could come up with a better argument -- in fact, arguments that make sense both for and against raising the minimum wage -- and I certainly wouldn't include anything that sounds bigoted.
Perhaps Congressman McClintock should think more and talk less.
