¿Qué estás diciendo, Baldo? A ti, ¿no te gusta el Mes Nacional de la Hispanidad? ¡Tú sí eres hispano!

No he is not! Baldo is an American of Hispanic heritage. Until we do away with the “hyphenated” Americans, we will always emphasize the differences among us, not the commonality. The best way to accept diversity is to ignore it. Treat everyone with respect and dignity.
