'Latinos Go American, Eat Chinese'
A bunch of conservative guerito Republican types are getting the creeps with all of the Latino population growth in the U.S. Tu sabes, they say Latinos aren’t assimilating, they don’t want to learn English, they watch soccer on Univision, they still eat too much carne guisada, yada, yada.
Hey, Chisme can go intellectual and point to scholarly studies like the ones put out by the Pew Hispanic Center that say by third generation nearly 100 percent of Latinos are so Americanized that when they visit Mexico the first words out of their mouths are, “Dude, like, are so many of the people here, like, totally poor?”
Basically, (a word Mexicans use when they want to sound smart, or so says comedian George Lopez), Chisme doesn’t have to go intellectual. He can just stick to basic facts, basically. Hey, do the conservative gueritos who yak on talk radio and are freaking out about all of the Mexicans have any idea how much Latinos love Chinese food. It’s true, and if you live in the Rio Grande Valley, you know Chisme is on point about this basic contention, basically.
