Census and The Future of Space-Age Mexicans


Update to Census Bureau Procedures:
This is to request the use of special class “M” algorhythm in the 2010 and all future U.S. census of Americans of Mexican descent.
Special interest is due to this affected population group, whose numbers shall heretofore be counted in multiples of two in blue states and four in red states. This special action is required due to their status as endangered in America’s future, as evidenced in recent futuristic films.
Although recent reports estimate Latinos in the US to number 47 million, with the majority being of Mexican descent, media evidence is clear that without these special Bureau of the Census measures, this demographic group will disappear.
Case # 1: Star Trek-- Note the population of the flight deck of the Starship Enterprise reflects a wide diversity of nationalities, there are no Mexicans to be seen. There is an actor portraying the half-human character, Spock, whose name is Zachary Quinto, who initially appeared to have a Hispanic surname. While he did receive a Catholic education, Quinto is in fact Italian-Irish.
Case #2: Avatar—The native population of the planet Na´vi is blue. Conditions seemed more hopeful for the existence of Mexicans due to the appearance of the feisty, immigrant Chicana helicopter pilot portrayed by actress Michelle Rodriguez. While she was instrumental in saving the Na´vi, she unfortunately died when she used her helicopter to help blow up and defeat the machinery that threatened the Na´vi tree of life and wisdom.
Case # 3 Star Wars—Contrary to earlier reports that Star Wars character Chewbacca was Chicano because he is both brown, and is sometimes referred to as “Chuy” by close friends, it has recently been learned that Chewbacca is in fact of Indian extraction. He is currently working on a DVD set of anger management videos with celebrity physician Deepak Chopra.
One possible explanation for the mysterious decline of Mexican Americans may be traced to the recent substitution of the term “flatbread” for tortilla, “wrap” for burrito, and the demise of the 15 year old Taco Bell mascot and media hero, Gidget (Spanish for “I may be small, but I make a six-figure income”).
