So, we're the majority "minority" now?

Latinos now make up the majority of the United States population, with states like Texas, Hawaii, New Mexico and California now tipping the scales with assorted varieties of what most Anglos still (even if secretly) refer to as "spics," "Spanish niggers" and "wetbacks." Does this actually make a difference? Do you suddenly feel inspired to move to Texas? Do these numbers translate into political power? Or economic stability? "No. Not yet," we are told. "But, give it another 15 years and we will begin to see majority 'minority' elected officials and CEOs." Will this make a difference for the majority of those "minorities?" No. Everyone knows that the Census undercounts by at least 10% in large cities, so those "new" numbers are not so new. We've already hit that high (probably during the last Census), and the higher numbers haven't brought brown-skinned folks any prosperity. We are still underpaid, underrepresented (especially by truly progressive standards), and underserved. No not undeserved, Mr. Anglo. Underserved. And we'll remain so unless we pick up our bootstraps and build a meaningful movement. Finally, can our "leaders" please stop sitting around in conference rooms talking about the good old days and all the institutions they built and get back to the work of empowering our people. Or, better yet, just retire and let someone else have the responsibility (while they go back to their power lunches ... and day spas ... and vacations on the island). Please...
