Quote of the Week

Yet it makes me cringe to read, for the millionth time, the words black and Hispanic as synonyms for victim. How many times does one have to read that linguistic link before the brain fuses ethnicity with wretchedness? How does this link affect people who come in contact with blacks and Hispanics? How does it affect blacks and Hispanics themselves?
--Enrique Fernandez, “Label Warning,” The Village Voice, November 5, 1991, vol. 36, no. 45
