In the late 80’s on my unnamed UP-state NY college, about 80% of the ‘people of color’ would not mingle with the rest of the campus.

When my daughter was in Georgetown, she unconsciously walked through an African rally she was unaware of in 1994 in the middle of the campus. Since she 5-2, not African and she stopped the proceedings cold, it became one of her funniest (to us) College experiences.

I briefly toyed with the idea of legally changing my name to Rosalita Gonzales....

Actually, you should have gone with "Rosario" or just "Rosa" ..... tonier, you know. Like avoiding certain English names, like Pearl, Muriel, Mildred, Polly, Molly, etc. -- "fishwife" names.

It would count later on, when your CEO is considering VP candidates.

...elected the action figure of their socialist dreams, the affirmative action figure.

OK, you have the rights for the action figures, but I get the Bobble-Heads, including the automotive aftermarket kit with the velcro stand-up patch. OK?*

By the way, both you and VHD are cruel to not realize that Sonia Sotomayor was viciously discriminated against in her efforts to become the NBA's first female Hispanic player.

My people were cruelly oppressed by the Romans for centuries! Racist!

She stopped the proceedings cold,

"Cold," is the right word for your daughter's hegemonic display of White Supremacy! I am forced to conclude that it was her upbringing by a patriarchal, binary gender normative, imperialist, capitalist family that caused this shocking display of racism.

the road to Quebec and cultural polarization,

You should add that this road is one hell of a lot rockier if you are not dealing with the très droles Quebecois, who have so gracefully played this silly game for over 300 years.

It would be interesting if Quebec were in Los Angeles, South Texas and Miami though.

And how come there are no transplanted Maine or Upstate New York Canucks or Quebecers on the Supreme Court? What, Francophobic discrimination?

They might scream louder if the Quebecers were taking over New York and Massachusetts in the manner of LA and South Texas. Or like the Goth scene in Toronto. It takes people in different ways...

Not a Francophobe here.;) All in good fun.Comprenez-vous?
Shall we change the analogical allusion to Belgium instead of Quebec?

European females, generally speaking, are more feminine.
Whether that's just cultural or something deeper, well...perhaps. It tends to be true from Firenze to Stockholm.

You could come up with some pretty good conservative arguments for smaller states like Quebec. Perhaps establishing diplomatic relations with Aztlán sometime in the future.

French is fine for Quebec. English in the U.S. Until it becomes a Third World country. That's not really about Quebecers or Bretons. Jack Kerouac would have made a fine Supreme Court Justice or President.

Michael Savage was right: an entire generation of capable white men was sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
