There is a storm brewing in Southern California, and it's not the kind that will make more of the coastline slide into the Pacific. This one regards a Hispanic station (Channel 61) that is planting billboards all over the southland that have "Los Angeles, California" but the "California" is crossed out and "Mexico" is in it's place. Hoo boy...

The people against the signs proclaim it's a slap in the face to America as well as other immigrants not from Mexico, and that fact that if you come to America, you should assimilate to our culture, not the other way around.

Those for the signs say that California was taken illegally from Mexico and therefore should still be considered Mexico, that the greater LA area is already over 50% hispanic, and that the furor shows how small minded and (you knew this one was coming ) racist American and, in particular, white Americans are against hispanics.

Ironically enough, the owner of the station is a Mr. Lieberman.

This one could get real ugly, real fast.
