Day Dos

CSUN Northridge graduation for the big guy. The whole excuse for this trip, and a seriously valid one at that. "Arizona must be [fucking] crazy" because my white, Irish boy of a cousin was in the serious minority when it came to race walking across that stage. These second generation, darker-skinned immigrants are not settling to pick in the fields like their parents did, they're not settling to cook enchiladas in a stuffy back room; they're getting their asses in the classroom and earning degrees. Not just in sociology or basket-weaving. They're getting engineering, biology, political science degrees. THEY are going to be the ones running for office, running the country, writing the rule books in a few years. So, really what can Arizona be thinking? Check the bigotry next time your own uneducated, clueless ass crosses over your mcmansion doorstep please.
