I thought about blogging about this as well but I thought it was too complicated and it was making me too angry.  I'm 1/2 hispanic (my father was latino) and my mother is white.  I wouldn't be here if it weren't for immigration.  All the hoopla about singing the national anthem in Spanish really bothers me because I don't like the idea that white America thinks they own the country and it's patriotic symbols.  I was proud to hear it sang in Spanish. I don't care what the reasons behind it are.  I am proud to hear both of my cultures come together in that way.  I agree there are many stereotypes right now about latinos, immigrants, and deportation.  It's a shame that people subscribe to such huge generalizations.
