I'm sorry, were those young Mexicans or were they US citizens enjoying a culture of their choice in a US park?  

Maybe it shouldn't matter, but I'm tired of US citizens being labelled as from somewhere else because of their skin tone or cultural choices.

The US is a multicultural nation.  If the US used it intelligently, the US could use the military a lot less, and have a lot more actual influence in the world.

I remember staying at a bnb in Austin years ago and the owner was Latino. We were all sitting for breakfast and an older white couple kept asking where he was from and he kept telling them that he had been there for generations. You could see they couldn’t understand how he could have brown skin and speak Spanish and NOT be an immigrant. He had to explain that Texas hadn’t always been a US state. 🤦🏻‍♀️

So the bnb had been there since 1845? That’s amazing
