  • I truly wish her luck. While I’m the first to point out that we’re most definitely not a monolithic voting bloc, one thing that’s pretty consistent across our population is catholicism. This translates into generally not supporting abortion rights. There’s also a strange, almost existential machismo that exists across a lot of our people that translate into diminished support of women’s rights in general.

    This is changing, of course and for the better. I guess what I’m saying is that even though we are a minority group, you cannot assume that the majority are in favor of progressive legislation simply because of that.









  • The nice thing about languages is that they evolve, change, reconfigure, and adapt. They are not sacred things, but tools we use and manipulate. While we may have something similar, the utility needs of our words change over time and over regions. In certain parts of the United States and elsewhere ‘y’all’ has filed in the linguistic gap.
