By the way, 500,000 marching in Los Angeles? Beautiful and powerful and meaningful - everything people should be. Often I'm frustrated, but sometimes I'm damn proud.
But please keep in mind, especially you folks in the media:
Immigrant does not equal Latino or Hispanic
Latino or Hispanic does not equal Mexican
Latino or Hispanic certainly does not equal "illegal"
Pride in heritage does not equal disloyalty to nation, especially in a nation built on immigration

After seeing these demonstrations (from Dallas, to Atlanta, to LA, etc.) I don't really care how they call us. Yes, we're all Mexican, and yes, we're all Latinos, and yes we're all Hispanic and illegal and brown. So what?
At least now they know ... SOMOS UN CHINGO!
¡Brownies para todos!
Ha ha! You goof, you made me laugh out loud! Somos un chingo, y somos muy chingones!
Dammit, I hate my crappy textbook-Spanish education. I'm so dependent on Babelfish. We are a what? And we are very what?
