<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">According to IMDb:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In a strange twist of post-modern irony, the movie idea that started  life as a fake trailer is now promoting itself with a real trailer. AICN  got a special delivery from Roderiguez himself of this &#8220;illegal&#8221;  trailer for Machete staring Danny Trejo as  the titular character out for revenge.</span></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Arizona is having a hell of a week. Us Latinos? Well, that&#8217;s another story. First, Arizona institutionalized racial profiling. Then, they pushed legislation, courtesy pressure from the birthers, to mandate that potential presidential candidates &#8220;prove&#8221; they&#8217;re &#8220;natural born citizens&#8221; of the U.S. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">And here I was thinking that all Americans, save Native Americans, we immigrants to this country. I wonder where the birthers stand on Native Americans? Many of them look Latino, as do many African-Americans (Wyatt Senac is so right when he says he could pass for a Dominican), and Asians. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">The cherry on top of this Arizona madness: they have become the third state to legalize concealed weapons without a permit. </span></p>

I used to think the simplest  explanation was black and white. But I&#8217;ve recently discovered that the  truth is much more colorful.</span></strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Because I&#8217;ve spent most of my adult  life being mistaken for everything but who I am &#8212; Moroccan, Brazilian,  mixed African-American and white American, Israeli, Palestinian, the  list goes on &#8212; the very question has inspired me to embark on a travel  adventure back through time in search of answers.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">This is what I  know for sure: Ethnically, I am a New York City born woman of Dominican  parentage. I self identify as a Latina, Dominican-American and  Latino-American, interchangeably. But racially, through the science of  DNA testing and tracing my family&#8217;s own migration story, I&#8217;ve begun to  receive confirmation of what I&#8217;ve always believed to be true not only  for myself but many of the 47 million-plus Latino-Americans across the  country: the subject of race in our community is kaleidoscopic, more  complicated than what the census 2010 checkboxes offer.</span></strong></p>
