  1. “I don’t need no stinking ‘Hispanics'”. Please educate on the etymological tendencies of the term Hispanic. If one needs labels at least be inclusive. A little guidance from the recent past . . .

    La raza!
    Méjicano!
    Español!
    Latino!
    Chicano!
    Or whatever I call myself,
    I look the same
    I feel the same
    I cry
    And
    Sing the same.
    I am the masses of my people and
    I refuse to be absorbed.

    Hyphenated Americans unite!

  2. Maybe our tickets are in the mail? I should apply to go so I can look into this ROI (return on investment) for LA Eastside. Now that we have them all hooked, lets sell them shit! Plus I want to be a Brand Ambassador. Hmm, maybe I can get into Mami Blogging too…

  3. I think this event is the perfect place to pitch my new book, Menudo Soup for the Soul: A Latina’s Guide to Happiness in Five Spicy Simple Steps.

    I’ll give you all a sneak peak…

    1. Every morning upon rising do the loudest Mexican grito you can. It doesn’t matter if you sound like a sick hyena.

    2. Eat nopales with chile. Proven to lower blood sugar levels, maintain balanced energy and the chiles provide vitamin C, zing!

    3. Do zapateados around your kitchen daily. Dance, exercise, obvious.

    4. Repeat steps 1-3 as needed

    5. Drink lots and lots of micheladas, if all else fails or if everything goes perfect or if it all turns out just okay.

    Hmmm, actually that ‘sneak peek’ is all I got so far but I smell a money maker. Well, I smell something…

  4. Pachuco, “Hispanics” are neither us, or anyone we may know. I think they are people who are sprayed bronze and are also Republicans.

  5. I don’t know what it is that makes some of us want to totally change the system and others just want to change the system enough so that they are allowed access into it.
    I perused a few blogs from ‘latinos’ and ‘hispanics’ and almost all of them begin with a list of their credentials given to them by their employment by some corporation. As if because ‘the man’ liked you enough to hire, that makes you a great and smart person.
    We have got a long way to go in either direction, total changing of the system or acceptance into the system.
