Manuel, he said he was searching for how many times the word Mexican showed
up when he did a search, I'm simply upping the count.

Louis: " Joaquin was always in tune with the Cuban and Venezuelan line on Libya 
and Syria"

Joaquín, say it isn´t so?! Really, say it. If true, you really should know much 
better, but I would want to know how you could justify supporting the Despot 
against his own masters.
Amith, check the bourgeois national chauvinism. Joaquín is Puerto Rican, I am 
Chicano, there are a few White guys playing pretend "Mexicans" on this list 
and, you know, Cuba if full of Cubans. Such racist epithets only expose your 
backwardness and render anything you say insupportable.

You need a more sophisticated search.  Below are items that I posted to this 
list in 2016.
I am guessing that you have access to articles and items of which I am ignorant 
 Perhaps you should post some of them.

In 1959, just months after the triumph of the Cuban revolution, Rene Goscinny 
and Albert Uderzo created Asterix, a comic-book saga telling the story of a 
small, Gaul village that Rome was never able to conquer, not even at a time 
when it had subjugated all of Europe and the Mediterranean.

Article by Samuel Farber and a response in Havana Times.

https://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/03/cuba-obama-platismo-blockade-castro/

The politics of this right wing — both on the island and abroad — that has long 
curried the favor of Washington elites is rooted in a perspective called 
“Platismo.” The origin of the term goes back to 1901, when the first 
constituent assembly of the island was forced to accept an amendment to the 
Cuban constitution authored by US senator Orville Platt giving the United 
States the legal right to intervene in the country’s internal affairs.

For the next thirty-three years, the United States, with the explicit support 
of many Cuban Platista politicians, availed itself of this license repeatedly, 
influencing policy under the threat of military occupation — a threat it 
carried out on several occasions.

Chanel Stages Fashion Show In Cuba
This is the comment I posted on the Havana Times site. havanatimes.org.

No doubt it is galling for Cubans to be confronted with the easy life of 
tourists from rich countries. All the more so when it is wealth that is beyond 
most people even in the rich countries.
Against this the Cuban government must ask itself what economic benefits come 
with these events. If it can be shown that the money from these events can ease 
the hardships of the Cuban people, then a responsible government should allow 
them.
And it might be argued that events like this make Cuba seem less forbidding and 
alien to people in other countries.

Cuban TV to be available in US


This item is in Spanish.  You can have a crude translation on the site.
If I understand correctly, it will be known as Cuba Max TV, available through 
the Dish Network.

July 4
The Havana Times carries mainly criticisms of the Cuban government, in a few 
instances written by myself.  More often I feel a need to defend the government 
against criticism.
Here is a hard-hitting piece by a Cuban-American.  He came to the US as part of 
the Mariel boatlift of 1980.

Joaquin was always in tune with the Cuban and Venezuelan line on Libya 
and Syria even though unlike Fred Feldman and Walter Lippmann was good 
enough not to besiege the list with warnings about how Obama was going 
to carry out regime change. I wonder if these ex-subscribers are still 
harping on that nonsense.

I suppose that you are a supporter of Bashar al-Assad has nothing to do

So, like, I decided to drop in on one of my old haunts, the Marxism 
List. Lots of posts about Syria, so I decided to do a little research 
with the CTRL-F key combo.


Posts containing the word Syria since Aug. 1: 10

Posts containing the word Latino or Hispanic or Mexican or undocumented: 
1, but actually that was the one I just sent so it doesn't really count 
because I sent it precisely because as far as this list is concerned, it 
looked like we'd met the same fate as Columbus's fourth ship: not only 
had we fallen off the edge, but everyone pretended we never even existed.


So make it:

Syria 10
Spics 0

And you can go back in the list archives and your count for Syria will 
keep rising, and your count for beaners won't.


Except for that one excerpt from an article about how dare a greaser 
spic like Lin Manuel Miranda not just play Alexander Hamilton, but 
conceive and write the whole damn musical about the man.


Maybe I'll write something more about that, generally on the theme of, 
scratch a liberal and find a pig. But for now I'm done.


Joaquín
