Awwwww, I'm sorry you feel left out because Latinos aren't getting the
same amount of attention as the Palestinians.

The problem is that I have written about all these things -- back in
2005-2006, when hundreds of thousands of Latinos were marching in Los
Angeles carrying Mexican flags and singing a bizarre Spanish version
of the Star Spangled Banner:

** Violence increases throughout Mexico as illegals pour across U.S. border

** Mass Latino demonstrations protest proposed immigration bill

** Immigration: Xenophobia and paranoia growing rapidly as 'Great American Boycott&' approaches

Separately, in those days, I was having online conversations with
people about Aztecs, Mayans, and Commancheros.

But that was 15 years ago. Today, it's all fizzled. Whereas
Palestinian protests in Gaza or the West Bank are still a regular
occurrence, there's no news coming out of Los Angeles any more except
for the homeless lining the streets and, more recently, the endless
lockdowns.

And if you do an internet search for Aztlán, you get nothing recent.
Even the aztlan.net web site, which I used to reference, is now all
but defunct, except for a map:

• Map of Aztlán

Furthermore, the Aztlán secession wouldn't make sense today. Today,
caravans of Latinos are trying to get into the United States to take
advantage of all the free benefits promised by Biden, including free
welfare and free medical care for illegal immigrants. Nobody wants a
nation of Aztlán to secede, since Biden wouldn't be president in
Aztlán, and so the people wouldn't get free benefits. Actually, that
was also true in 2005-6.

So the solution to your dilemma is simple: Just get a few thousand
Mexicans to march through Los Angeles again, and you'll get a lot more
attention again.
