Thing is, I read this some years ago in another US forum [or in the NYT forums], which was opened by a person when the old NYT forums closed down.
HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT!
What is a "Hispanic Leader"? This is something I actually find inherently both racist and arrogant. After all, who appoints these people?
Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are frequently called "Black Leaders", but were they elected to such an august position? No, they were shoved into it by their own arrogance and mistaken belief that all should be following them.
In truth, these "leaders" are nothing but fearmongers and agitators who are using their supporters as a way to push an agenda. And in reality it does not even really apply, because most who come to the US come here to escape something, not to export their beliefs and culture into this country.
As I said, my wife is an immigrant. But she has absolutely no interest in bringing Argentina into the US (other then she often talks about opening a "real Argentinian restaurant"). She and her family left there for very good reasons, and she has worked all of her adult life to learning English (she barely has an accent) and fitting in as best she can in her new home.
And as you get further from the immigrant generation, their children and grandchildren generally feel even more that way (other then a few radicals). I can't tell you the huge numbers of "Mexican-Americans" I have known over the years that have even less Spanish then I do. No different from most immigrant communities, they are proud to be Americans, and generally look down on the idiots that want to see this country become a new incarnation of the one their ancestors come from.
Heck, my son does not even think of himself as "Hispanic" at all. He sees himself as a "white boy from the San Fernando Valley", never mind he was born in North Carolina, did not live in "the Valley" until he was in his teens, and his mother is from South America and named Margarita.
You are taking this from a fringe group, that no more speaks for Hispanics then MOVE spoke for Blacks.
