Talking back to Alberto Gonzales

As a fellow Chicano, I read former Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales' recent Op-Ed article, "What Latinos want from their president,” with interest. I can assert with confidence that he remains hugely unpopular in our community. Latinos have called him everything from a token to a sellout to a "Pancho" -- a derogatory term for a Mexican American who exists only to serve a white man.
