	Description:		This episode contains strong language. A leaked audio recording of Latino lawmakers in Los Angeles making racist comments has created a political firestorm and brought demands for resignations. But not only has the uproar forced the authorities to reckon with what officials say behind closed doors, it has also raised a sharp issue: Why is a city with so many Latino constituents represented by so few of them? Guest: Shawn Hubler, a California correspondent for The New York Times. Background reading: The recording of the private conversation between three council members and a labor leader has already led to two resignations. Here’s what to know about the controversy. The disparaging remarks highlighted a history of racism within the Latino community. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.
