Why isn¡¯t our generation of Latinos
considered exceptional?
¡ñ Who is our generation?
   ¡ð Alphabet soup of letters: X, Y, ?
   ¡ð Digi-Latinos

¡ñ Invisible in terms of:
   ¡ð Leadership: not leading peers, leading up or down
   ¡ð Political clout: where are we engaged politically and
     why aren't we cultivated by national organizations
   ¡ð Economic power

¡ñ And yet, we are exceptional
How do we become visible in the media
landscape without being reduced to the
lowest common denominator?


¡ñ Invisible Girls
¡ñ Don't Rock the boat
¡ñ Perfect Brown
How will bi-culturalism replace bi-
lingualism for our children; what can
we gain and what are we afraid to
lose?

¡ñ Language first, food last
¡ñ Language as a virus
¡ñ Salad is delicioso and nutricioso
Are we the wrong kind of brown
when it comes to entrepreneurship?
¡ñ What is the right kind of brown?
  ¡ð
  ¡ð White collar vs. Brown collar
  ¡ð The "muslim problem" is not an immigration problem

¡ñ Why is our brown a smear on America?
  ¡ð Violent...yet servile
Why do we hold onto our cultural
baggage: racism, misogyny &
homophobia?

¡ñ Mucho macho, hombre!

  ¡ð The Sammy Sosa effect

  ¡ð Miss Culito

  ¡ð Solo mi (gay) familia is ok
