Jada Pinkett-Smith's stunning faux pas at Harvard - sounding distinctly "hetero-normative" in a big speech she gave there - made me take accounts. And sad to say, I'm no better than JPS. Maybe even worse.

This is painful, and difficult for me. But please bear up, dear readers, and help me find closure here. For I've come to realize that I've been unwittingly and deleteriously "Anglo-normative."

It hit me like a ferry boat slamming into dock pilings - when I was perusing my CD collection the other day. There, baldy evident - and assaulting my consciousness and sensitivities in a shocking, humbling, hurtful rush - was damning and despicable evidence of my deep, heinous, Euro-centric Caucasoid Cluelessness.

For I had filed under "Los" - the Spanish equivalent of "the" - CDs by the following groups: Los Mocosos, Los Lobos, Los Amigos Invisible, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, And even, in a true display of white boy lameness, Los Lonely Boys. (I mean talk about a HINT, eh? The last two words are en Anglais.)

D'oh, Matt.

I'm gonna rectify all this.
