Or at least California. This is dedicated to our friend Lou Dobbs, who has been predicting this for years:
By 2020, California will be more crowded, its population older and its racial composition dominated by Hispanics, according to a report released yesterday.
The changes will pose challenges to state lawmakers, who will have to grapple with the additional pressures on already strained schools and health-care systems, according to the report by the California Budget Project.

Taxi boom linked to Latinos

Proof that a boom in an emerging market can spur the appearance of products or services that the mainstream has been needing or wanting but wasn’t provided:
The 14 calls Fiesta got on its first day of business have multiplied into nearly 500,000 dispatched calls annually. A half-million more customers are picked up by drivers at Hispanic supermarkets, Latino-aimed bus companies and through direct cell calls to cabbies.
A handful of Mexican-American drivers in 1985 has grown to a team of 220 cabbies who hail from throughout Latin America. Almost all of them own their cabs and operate small businesses on wheels.
New Music from Jose Feliciano
28 Nov 2005
One of the more popular Christmas songs is Feliz Navidad. It seems that everyone knows this song whether you speak English, Spanish, or some other language. The lyrics have become just as famous as other popular songs like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
The Latino who made Feliz Navidad famous and who some claim is the first to crossover into the Anglo music market has come out with new tracks that are available for download from his site. Jose Feliciano, shunned by music labels that didn’t believe his latest production was good enough, has decided to distribute new music through his website.
It seems that distributing music yourself allows for much more artistic freedom. I wonder if other Latino artists will follow his lead once again.

Bill Fisher and Chicano Richard A. Lou, both artists, collaborated on creating public art that deconstructed the very public tale of Jennifer Wilbanks, the white runaway bride who used the media and wove a story about being kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a Hispanic man instead of telling the truth.
