Talking of Hispanics, it was reported this week by CNN that America is becoming Hispanic faster than you can say "que pasa gringo"! According to an analysis of newly released 2010 U.S. Census data by the Pew Hispanic Center, the Hispanic populations in the United States will top 17% when the numbers are finalized. The Center points out that this change is most noticeable in states not typically thought of as being Hispanic. We’re not talking Texas, California, Florida or New York here. No, the change is in states such as Alabama, Louisiana, Kansas and Maryland.
CNN further suggest that Hispanics will define the worlds of media, politics, commerce, fashion, music, entertainment, sports and science. I think much of this has already taken place. Today salsa is more popular than ketchup, rural highways sprout Spanish-language billboards and some members of Congress gather weekly for Spanish lessons. Spanish is here to stay, but I do wish that automatic telephone answering systems would say “For Spanish press 1, otherwise stay on the line” rather than “For English press 1, for Spanish press 2”. I shouldn’t have to make a choice to speak to someone in English! Capice?
We should embrace the change; leave the safety of the stockade, after all this is a country founded on immigrants. And the Native Indians who, lest we forget, were here first. It’s not well known but the first words spoken by the Natives on sight of the Pilgrims landing ashore were actually “Well, there goes the neighborhood”!
So, Hola, como estas? Muchas gracias amigos and Felice Navidad to you too. Time to look up our local bodega, even Taco Bell for lunch, but hold the Mariachi music; a little goes a long way.
