Racial
slurs are increasing
I would have
thought that The Washington Post, published in a
city that is predominantly African-American, would
be more sensitive against ethnic slurs. I was wrong.
Apparently they are only sensitive when the insults
are about blacks, not Hispanics.

Better
opportunities await Cuba
An era is
ending. With Fidel Castro's inevitable passing,
neither Latin America nor Cuba will ever be the
same. The Comandante has always valued ideas --
i.e., his own -- over the prosaic -- i.e., ordinary
people. Since Cuba alone never satisfied his supersized
ego, he looked elsewhere, Latin America in particular.

Letter to Editor of Washington Post regarding Pat
Oliphant Cartoon
Pat Oliphant's
cartoon published in the Washington Post on August
24th is so incredibly bigoted and exceedingly inaccurate
in its portrayal of Cuban-Americans, the fact that
you would allow such a cartoon to appear in the
pages of your paper is outrageous.
