   Now I’m doubly in love (or is that in lust?) with Jessica Alba! Poor Tom Selleck and some of the others have been sidelined and maligned for their America-centric views. I’m glad to see some of the younger Hollywood folks speak up. Three cheers for Jessica!

   I think that for most Americans this is exactly what should be and is. It is only for a minority, that by the way throw themselves out there as a race or subgroup, that they are in fact seen as that.
   If people want to be treated as equals it only takes one thing, to act equal. Jessica Alba is an equal.

   I actually don’t care what celebrities have to say about anything. After being bombarded by celebs all ga-ga over O-Boy for over a year, their half-baked ideas about being American mean nothing to me. Who cares what this air head with an expanded ego has to say. This reminds me of someone who said John Kerry could relate to the average American. Sorry, but people who live in their ego fed world, don’t live in our world.

   Seems contemporaneous history is forgotten. Assimilation has always been the route to success in America. Those who critisize Alba have forgotten this.

   Racquel Welch is latina. but changed her name to be accepted. She only recently revealed this.

   The Sheens, Martin et al, changed their name. Well except for Emilio who kept his original surname, Esteves.

   Even the former Gov of Virginia was taken to task for neglecting his Jewish heritage. Actually, something he was not aware of because his mother, who is Jewish, did not want the hassle that accompanied that moniker during that period of our history.

   ‘Passing’ was not just for blacks, but for Jews, Latinos, and just about everybody. Yep, even Orientals who had plastic surgery to ‘fix’ their eyes and dye their hair blonde.

   We all want to assimilate and not be different. The reasons are obvious, well were obvious, if you were to veiw this contemporaneously.

   Today, it is easy to be PC. I only wish these things were examined in context, and veiwed in the prism of history.

   Jessica Alba is just a product of our history, American history.
