Curb your Culture.

The Bronx is 54% Hispanic. What does being Hispanic mean? What does Latino mean? Why is there a Spanish speaker classification hotchpotch in the United States census? Is this classification representative of the intricate and extremely diverse cultural fabric of the people that fall into this category?

Curb your Culture is a reflection about human migrations. How does it feel when your culture is looked down upon? What to do when you are asked to curb your culture? Is it ethical to ask people to assimilate to the dominant culture? What is it and why is there a dominant culture? Would multiculturalism be a better path? Would cultural amalgamation work better than acculturation or cultural assimilation?
