"Aztlan is a state of mind for some people. Its a point in history. For some, its a political place, for some its a separate nation," said Armando Navarro, a University of California, Riverside, professor whose views have generated controversy. "It represents land lost. You are sitting in a city, Riverside, that used to be in Mexico. That gives us a sense of entitlement. This was our land."

The term white trash dates back not to the 1950s but to the 1820s. It arises not in Mississippi or Alabama, but in and around Baltimore, Maryland. And best guess is that it was invented not by whites, but by African Americans. As a term of abuse, white trash was used by blacks both free and enslaved to disparage local poor whites.

The term registered contempt and disgust, as it does today, and suggests sharp hostilities between social groups who were essentially competing for the same resources, the same jobs, the same opportunities, and even the same marriage partners.

As dumbness has been defined downward in American public life during the last two decades, one of the most important and frequently overlooked culprits is the public's increasing reluctance to give a fair hearing -- or any hearing at all -- to opposing points of view.
The media got most of the basics wrong. In fact, I have never before witnessed such a disgrace in professional journalism. Myths replaced facts, and journalists abdicated their solemn duty to investigate every claim because they were seduced by a powerful
