@mimiroro: I was with you, but I think what ultimately got me were the follow up comments like this one, “When I heard about this, I was more confused that there was a regular column on tejano music at all. Like, seriously, how much is there to write about on that topic?”:http://gawker.com/tag/ramiro-burr/?i=395931&t=even-texas-journalists-now-hire-ghost-writers#c6163747

Some stupid questions deserve to be answered.

There’s the logical side of me that goes “take a joke, there’s even the disclaimer at the bottom.” Then there’s the other part of me that’s ungodly sick of Texas-as-backwoods jokes. Especially since I think Austin is one of the best places in the US to live. Logic… logic…

Our local newspaper syndicated only his column in their music section of their entertainment section, so I came to find (what I believed were) his writings tolerable.

Also he didn’t just cover Tejano; He covered other jems of the Latino music industry such as Daddy Yankee, RBD, and The Kumbia All-Stars.

Ugh…that’s exactly why I like Guanabee…so tired of the White-washed tunnel vision of mainstream “corporate blogs”. I am neither Mexican, nor Texan, nor a fan of Tejano music, but th eay Hamilton just dismissed Tejano music as if it was completely unimportant, or at best a curiosity, really rattled my Latino radar. Good Lord, how condescending!

i don’t think the point here is that Hamilton’s being a racist, he’s merely mocking the fact that a journalist (in this case one that reported on the Tejano music scene) needed to abuse his power and exploit some poor journalism student (probably some Hispatino).

Annoying. I wonder where this Nolan guy is from. I can’t stand people that move to places like NY or LA and all of the sudden their pasts disappear. You could move to Mars but if you are a nerd from the midwest……you’ll always be that nerd from the midwest. Embrace it!

Ugh, that was lame of them to act like that. It makes me extra mad because I just wasted two hours at work watching Selena videos and I’m all teary-eyed because I miss her so much.

Good job, Cindy!
