Poison? Or Antidote?

Categorized under Cultura , Derechos Humanos , El Malestar Pálido , Español , Frontera , Hipnotismo , Historia | Tags: borders, Bracero, Immigration, Mexico

WHEN I MET THE WOMAN who is now mi novia, I told her about my mexican ethnicity as if it were a religion I could choose to practice—or not. As if it were something I didn't have to be. And I guess that's exactly how I felt for so...

OVER TIME, I HAVE NOTICED from checking out news sources in Español vs. English that politicians and media pundits often take gross and blatant advantage of the fact that so many US citizens cannot read/speak anything other than English, as in YEAH, AMERICA NUMBER ONE!

Prioritizing Acquisitions

Categorized under Español | Tags: Change, español

I wish I could chalk up our national inability to grasp that it’s a good thing to know more than one language to the simple fact of geography—we’re bigger than any European country, so linguistic diversity seems less compelling. But it’s more than that, and Schwarzenegger’s attitude here points...

Newt Destroys the Spanish Language

Categorized under Cultura , Español | Tags: Language, The Haunted Land

WHOA. I liked him better when he was insulting us in English. Newt Rich-Gringo shows us how calm a man can keep his face as he murders the Spanish Language in broad daylight whilst also patronizing the people he just insulted while simultaneously implying that not knowing English well...

EVERY TIME I think that I have the differences between "para" and "por" down, I read something else or find a usage that confuses me again! It's a tough nugget. I used "para" here, but I think maybe "por" would be a better choice. And that's what I used...

AND SO THE DARING AND PIONEERING TOM TANCREDO will carve a path through the green, balmy español-woven wilds of "Florida"—that "third-world" state that he recently claimed could be dropped down into some barbaric, starving, country jammed up wit' Furreners and nobody would know the difference—and give lectures on the...
