Whose America Is It, Anyway?
Not Latinos’, apparently.
When asked to describe the “American dream,” most people would come up with something like, “the pursuit of happiness,” “better opportunities for my kids,” “religious and political freedom,” or “a nice house, a big yard, a new car, and a great job.” Few would disagree with including, “the ability to participate in government,” especially since that was a big deal for the founding fathers.
This is a piece I wrote for the News Section of Notre Dame's Convos of Color blog. I'm now on staff for them, so there will be a fair bit of (more regular!!) cross-posting for the next year.
