Writing my Latino novel:
I joined The Los Locos gang when I was a fetus. Later that day I sold heroin Chiclets at the border. My mother Frida Kahlo was a hitman for the cartels. Our home was a pyramid. I've never seen the beach. The Virgin of Guadalupe stole my lowrider. Again.
My poor ass fought my way into graduate school at UC Berkeley yet I was still told by mediocre classmates in undergrad that I didn’t deserve it because somehow I had the advantage of being a poor Mexican. Go to hell!

50th Anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium, where groundbreaking journalist Ruben Salazar was killed by the police in East LA. Sound familiar? He was the first mainstream journalist to cover Chicanos, and this is his greatest quote. Please share

cartoons.
Half of Republicans say ongoing demographic changes, which will result in people of color making up the majority of the U.S population, will impact the country negatively.
You know what's actually more harmful and offensive than cartoon mouse Speedy Gonzales? The persistent lack of Mexican-American and Latino representation in Hollywood and in US journalism. I'm exhausted from hearing excuses.
