Latinos are part of the cultural mix typical of Silicon Valley and Los Angeles. A mix that does not include smart thinking.
Why do I lump these two areas together? This is hard to explain, but easy to feel once you have lived in both areas.
Los Angeles is the city every other large city in the world is trying to emulate. Its key feature is fast growth, at the expense of everything else.
Silicon Valley is the same, with the addition of the Computer, which introduces a number of subcategories of its own.
When I lived in the Valley (in the town of Milpitas) I was next to Alum Rock, a Latino community, where I got to experience its advantages and disadvantages. The young in this area were typical of those in any slum: dangerous people you do not want to be around.
