Should Latinos Defend Affirmative Action, or Let it Die?
The Latino Paradox refers to the fact that — for America’s 54 million Latinos — these really are, as Dickens would put it, the best of times and the worst of times. We’re told we have all this power, and yet we’ve never felt more powerless.
Two longtime friends — Syndicated Columnist Ruben Navarrette and Policy Analyst & Strategist Arnold Torres — share with viewers, in 7.5 minutes, the kinds of spirited, no-holds-barred conversations they regularly have with each other over the phone.
In each episode, they discuss the paradox — in the context of three questions that they believe Latinos should constantly be asking themselves through introspection and self-analysis: Who are we? What do we want? What in the hell are we doing wrong?
