Latino entrepreneur, who currently owns and operates digingage LLC, a web design, development, and social media management company. He has a background in business development, technical writing, and proposal writing and management. Also, as a community, we must remember our obligation to be patriotic and contribute proudly to the American Dream that has become our own.Īuthor: Daniel Davila does research and analysis of social media and mobile apps for a small government contractor. Our pride in our culture spans countries and continents. This year’s theme of unity and its echo in sociological discourse are a reminder and an obligation to always remain true to our common heritage and advocate on behalf of our counterparts from other countries. We are, he asserted, a pan-ethnic group and as such transcend the conventional categories of race and nationality. In Mario Barrera’s “Are Latinos a Racialized Minority?” in Sociological Perspectives, he addressed the problem of identifying Latinos as a race. This month is a reminder that while we might practice different religions or call ourselves un Boriqua instead of un Chicano, we are a community. Our slang and our accents identify us easily as from Spain, Central and South America and the Caribbean, but as a whole, we share much in common - together we have experienced the best and worst that America has to offer. Some believe last year’s theme did not focus enough on unity among Latinos - the worst thing we can do as Latinos is separate from each other and say, “I am Puerto Rican, you are Mexican.” As the theme for 2011 suggests, Latinos have a myriad of backgrounds and diverse histories.
