I post this for a couple reasons

1. I gotta rep the hood

2. I think it provides great insight to what the new immagrants will look like in a few generations, most of America is fearing something they shouldn't. That isn't to say I don't have some problems with some of what Castro says (esp what kind of premeium is put on "race" and unfailry painting the Alamo as an Anglo venture) but I have the same problems to the north of me with the German Czechs and Polacks to the north of me. If anything there just lighter skinned Mexicans with better beer and kielbasa.

Point being I think its intresting and everyone should read about San Antonio the greatest city in the world.

“This is the model of what America will look like in other cities. English will be the dominant language. Young Mexican-Americans may display minor symbols of their ethnicity — ‘I eat spaghetti, therefore I’m Italian,’ that sort of thing — but their kids will consider themselves American. We are already your neighbors and fellow workers, and are or soon will be your in-laws.”

That's the ticket. Takes a couple generations, but so far, things work out in less than 60 years, even if grampa fusses about the family being 'invaded'. It's been ever thus.

You realize what the Mexicans do/think of the natives down in the Yucatan don't you?

Ouch!

Does this all mean that San Antonio will not turn into some sort of Miami - where one must speak Spanish to be part of the Cosa Nostra that's monopolised local politics?
