"Inquiring Gringos Want to Know"

This is a link to an article in the LA Times online (requires registation, but it worth it, they have great coverage of Latin American, and International, news.). The article discusses a column in an alternative paper in southern California called "Ask a Mexican." The column addresses some of the confusion and uncertainty that can come from encounters between Hispanics and non-Hispanics. It gives an interesting picture of the way Hispanic identity is defined and understood by both Hispanics and others.
