"in 20 years Latinos will be the largest ethnic community in the USA."

"Is that suppposed to be a bad thing?"

yep...sadly, it is. Any time you have multiple ethnic communities in the same political/economic community you will have more problems than virtues. It is not a matter of who is better or who was 'here first'...it is a matter of communication and value systems and jobs and leadership.

People (most people) want their 'diversity' in small, non-threatening doses...they don't want multi-lingual schools and neighborhoods changing so that the they don't feel comfortable and/or safe.

What it really come down to is whether the language and values of various cultures come into conflict, and more & more, they are.

I don't know a solution, and I know it is not 'politically correct' to point at this problem, but it is quite evident in some areas. You don't see it a lot in North Dakota, but you sure do in Los Angeles or Washington DC....

There's a lot to say and discuss about this ...maybe on another thread sometime....it's not an easy issue.
