We Were Doing The Same Thing. We Will Never Have "a" Chicano English Or Spanish Because Of Regional Differences. But I Think That Because Of Our Bilingual History, We'll Always Be Speaking A Special Kind Of English And Spanish. What We Do Have To Do Is Fight For The Right To Use Those Two Languages In The Way That It Serves Us. Nuevo-mexicanos Have Done It Very Well For Hundreds Of Years, Inventing Words Where They Don't Have Them. I Think The Future Of Our Language Is Where We Claim Our Bilingualism For Its Utility.

It Is An Absolute Impossibility In This Society To Reversely Sexually Objectify Heterosexual Men, Just As It Is Impossible For A Poor Person Of Color To Be A Racist. Such Extreme Prejudice Must Be Accompanied By The Power Of Society's Approval And Legislation. While Women And Poor People Of Color May Become Intolerant, Personally Abusive, Even Hateful, They Do Not Have Enough Power To Be Racist Or Sexist.
