Assimilation taking place, regardless

I’m not going to ramble on too much about how the growing Latino population is assimilating into this society, no matter how much the ideologues don’t want to believe it and are going out of their way to try to prevent it.

If anything, this story from the Tampa Tribune that highlights a Mexican-American teenager who chose to play football rather than real futbol probably says it better than anyone could.

“I WANTED TO show people that Mexicans don’t just play soccer,” the teen told the Tribune.

Anyway, read the story. Fresh commentary will return Tuesday.
