J f you’re not from the
I Southwest, you still have
I heard about Texans.
They like things big. BIG.
(Never mind what Okies
say about Texans. It is
enough that
Inside Story there are
two ways
of view-
ing every
rivalry.)
But here’s
some news
big enough
for Texas
and the
____T nation, too.
Hispanics
are no longer a minority in
Texas, according to recent
reports. Rather, Hispanics
are now the majority in
Texas as well as other parts
of the nation. Latinos are a
growing segment of all our
communities.
If you’re not from Texas,
don’t quit reading here.
Too often, they are “invis-
ible” — living their lives
quietly in the shadows,
where schools, churches
and governments have
learned not to look.
One sad reminder of this
truth is the story that has
begun to emerge in the
wake of Hurricane Katrina.
A recent National Public
Radio story told how an
estimated 42,000 Hispanics
in Mississippi were caught
largely off-guard by storm
warnings issued in English
and by English-language
media.
In addition to those U.S.
Census numbers, like
most states in the nation,
Mississippi also has a large,
undocumented population
of Hispanics who work its
farms and in the service
industries.
Who knows how many
Spanish-speaking residents
hunkered down, endanger-
ing their own lives because
they were afraid to appear
on the radar screens of
rescuers, governments and
authorities?
