Oh great a Mexican revolutionary!
This guy had better take another look, California has more Asians than any other group and there numbers are growing faster than any other.
In the SF Bay area the top 10 Richest men are all Asian (Japanese and Chinese), and not one Mexican in sight.
The intelligence level of the cast is just breath taking.

Looks like we'll need to consult the 2000 Census data to determine the merit of the comment. I believe they list "projections" of population growth for the various segments in our society.

Yes, but I recall a news report some time ago saying the Latino community is the fastest growing of any ethnic group in the US.
I should also point out that I'm the least racist person you're likely to meet - I just don't like gangbangers or people who refuse to learn to speak English when you're trying to live in America.
Ooooh - now there's a can of worms I've opened......
I am

When I looked at that site I thought it looked like some sort of White supremacist group, probably using a quote out of context to fear-monger. Because I thought that quote wasn't far off some census projection info. Propaganda. *Gak*
No matter how you slice it it is propaganda and one sentence isn't enough to get the full story on what Olmos is thinking (I keep putting an extra vowel in the poor man's name...oops).

Not to worry, Dawg. I've always had the belief that if you work and live in a country, you should speak the primary language of that country. I, too, am tired of 57 different translations on a simple 'assembly instructions' sheet or on clothing labels. When in Rome, speak "Roman"!! (or at least Italian)

Oh no, a mickey mouse revolutionary, or where is he when Vieques really needs help, right now?
Ok,The Puerto Rican Island of Vieques. Protesters demanded the U.S. Navy abandon bombing and naval gun fire exercises there. It became a leftist cause celebe. Left wing nuts bumped into each other flying down to Puerto Rico and get arrested: Al Sharpton, Robert Kennedy Jr., Edward James Olmos, Mrs. Jesse Jackson, just to name a few. (Albeit Sharpton did lose weight on his one meal and a lite snack per day fast.)
Protesters showed up waving Puerto Rican flags and shouting, "Navy Get Out!"
Ok, they're getting out. In fact, now Navy officials are talking about closing the major support base. That's right; there goes the Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station, one of Puerto Rico's largest employers, estimated to pump over $300 million dollars into the local economy every year.
Suddenly, the governor says, "Wait a minute! The people of Puerto Rico don't have any interest in the closing of the Roosevelt Roads base. The government of Puerto Rico is interested in that base staying in Puerto Rico for all the Economic benefits."
No doubt Madam Mayor," Admiral Robert Natter, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, says. "Without Vieques there's no way I need the Navy facilities at Roosevelt Roads. None."
So, Yankee go home? Fine! But we're gonna take our money with us. Sort of like, hasta la vista baby!
