As Americans, we should embrace the increasing diversity of our country.

The Census Bureau recently reported that minority births made up a majority of births in the United States in the year ending July 2011.The report noted that 50.5 percent of the births were Asian, Latino, African-American or mixed race. This percentage has been on the rise for years as the nation’s white population ages and the minority population gets younger and younger.

Hispanics say NO to DeMaio

As Latino voters, we’re going to have a great influence on the outcome of this mayor’s race. The 10News/SurveyUSA poll released today estimated 23 percent of the voters in June – nearly 1 in 4 – will be Latino. With some hard work, we will have an even greater role to play. But what I find troubling is that our community isn’t just playing a big part of this mayor’s race – it’s also a significant portion of the vote Carl DeMaio is relying on to win the election. We have a responsibility to stop that!

I love my Mexican brothers and sisters in California (I’m from Cali) but they are the biggest pendejos in Chicago! Does cold weather make Mexicans pissed-off? And why do Mexican women like to ram white girls with their shopping carts?</strong><br>
