“I’m Italian,” Caruso interjected.as Caruso insisted that his racial identification be stated on his terms.The mayoral hopeful said he's, for decades, led efforts to bring more education opportunities and healthcare to Black and Latino communities in Los Angeles.

The Jewish community," said Caruso, who is running as a Democrat. "If one one group rises, we all rise. We do this together in unison and we don't separate, we don't divide. But we all say to ourselves we can do this and we can have a better city.""Wow, did Caruso just say he is Latin? That he is not a white man?"
