Just in case some of you folks thought I was overreacting when I worried about the possibility of hate crime against me and my children:

(Long Island cab driver hits Latino day laborer twice with his cab. Turns out the fellow in question was legal, being of mixed Latino and Native American descent. Now that, gentle readers, is the delightful cherry on the top of this story.)

And I read another, infinitely more disturbing, story from the same news source a few days ago about a teenage Latino boy who was sodomized with a foreign object by White youths on his way home from a party. These no doubt clean-cut, all-American lads also performed on their victim a literal attempt at ethnic cleansing when they doused his skin with bleach.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone.
