What about those other minorities?...

What if I were another race? A different minority. What if, for a day, I was Asian...any other race than one of the two hot minorities right now: Hispanic and Black. All the others kind of get the shaft if seems. Who's really trying to figure out how the minorities of the minorities feel? Who cares? Honestly, how much of your day do you spend listening to news about immigration or civil rights with respect to the two hot minorities? Compare that to how much time the other minorities are brought to your attention...it's really unfair. I'm sure they're experiencing some injustices or complications we all should be aware of...aren't they?

So today, go out there and try to find a minority (not one of the two hot ones) and see how their life is going? Ask one of your Asian buddies, whom you no doubt forgot was a minority, and see if society is treating them decently these days...

But then again...if these other minorities have begun to drop off the scene, does that mean they've completely assimilated and are no longer receiving the social shaft?....I don't have the answers...in fact, I'm just rambling....but seriously...
