I think you're missing the point of the author...he said that after the battle of the alamo, Hispanics were discriminated against (at the least) and even lynched. That's what I got from this article...I don't think is was a complete history of Texas and its many skirmishes.
Also: I've met Oscar Villalon, and if he's an idjit, Einstein's an earthworm. The guy is brilliant.

sweetie, where are you from..laconic? Why don't you go back to potato-eating? You seem to forget that at some point or other we were all immigrants....including my broke-ass great-grandma from Ireland. That's hilarious.
