David Arquette has issued a public apology after falling under public scrutiny for a remark he made about Latin women on live television last week.

Last Friday, the star appeared on The FOX News Channel’s Fox & Friends, where he offered up this analysis of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor — and all other Latinas.

“I think Latina women are, I mean, it depends on the woman, but there are some that are just nuts,” David said.

He added, “…..I’m from Los Angeles so we know all about the Latina women.”

David quickly retracted his comments after a number of Latino/Hispanic-interest groups branded his remarks racist.

“I would like to issue and apology for the comments. I have nothing but love and respect for Latina women and women in general.”
