why is it funny that there are so many types of hispanics? is it just as funny that there are so many type of white folk? or is it just as funny that there are so many types of native americans?
and being hispanic myself i find your "is hispanic some phoeny label or something?" to be rude and insulting. when you say that your nephew is mexican i hope that he was born in mexico. because if not, then that statement will be most telling. having lived all my life here in texas, born and raised, whenever i stumble upon anyone who has a beef with latinos they immediately label us as 'mexicans' irrelevant of the fact that we are texans and americans.
the cooper story on cenizo is nothing more than sensationalism at a time when tensions are high and people are mad immigration in general. that community had been doing things their way for years. it wasn't something that sprung up over night. for me that is a non-issue because that is just the way things are. when you live along the border you're on your own and you only have your neighbors and your community to help you out. el cenizo did the odd thing of making spanish 'official' when everyone else down there has been doing it 'un-officially.' the federal government didn't pay attention until they got into the fence building business and the same applies for austin.
