Lots of talk lateley about the “new Obama” being one Hispanic or another - Castro and Villaraigosa, for instances.


Speaking of the current mayor of Los Angeles, before he was Antonio Villaraigosa, he was Tony Villar.

His name change is attributed to his taking his (now former) wife Connie’s last name Raigosa and merging it with Villar. I went to elementary school with Connie’s older brother.

I like the sound of Antonio “Viva La Raza” better.

Better learn how to pronounce “Latino” right now. It’s not how you remember. Latino is pronounced “Lah” - followed by a very soft “t,” then followed quickly with a very loud “EEE!” — then a soft “no.” Please note the “no” needs to be pronounced through rounded lips, so it’s not just a flat American “no.” It’s a “no” with zest and style!

Remember when Zero schooled all the media puppets that it’s “Pock-EEE-stawn?”

Remember, saying things in a non-American way shows that America has humility. That’s a good thing.
