sorry meant to put a slash there. Honda (blonde) w/ Okazaki (long black hair).

Honda has 2 of JPN's goals this world cup, and that amazing assist right there. Definitely the MVP!

Nakata is still around, even if he's not in the game. He's all over the news and magazine covers here.

Uou should probably look at larger numbers when considering the local "diversity." I believe the city of Carson is considered the most diverse city in the nation, for instance.

What it sounded to me like she "meant" was that Seattle is a city largely void of anything but white people who think its weird when someone has a phone conversation in Spanish. Which I contest.

If you think Seattle is lacking in "diversity" maybe you are just hanging out in the wrong places.

There are entire districts in the Seattle metro area where 60+ percent of the residents are Hispanic, Somali, Vietnamese, Laotian, Korean, or what have you. But most of them speak English. I'd think people might look at you a little strange if you were speaking Spanish in a lot of places where you don't normally hear someone conversing in it.

And if you don't think there aren't a lot of Mexicans here, go drive down to the Lander Home Depot right now. Fourty of them and an INS agent in a truck are right outside the parking lot.




My company, fwiw, is about 30% white, 45% Hispanic,10% Indian, 10% black, and 5% other.

can you F***ers take whatever demographic argument you're having to another threak? this is the thread where we celebrate the advancement of soccer powerhouses like the United States, Japan, and Korea and bid farewell to the pretenders like France and Italy.

He played for VVV Venlo. You know: VVV Venlo. The great, world famous VVV Venlo. (You can google now.)

Well done, congratulations.

i can't think of a single area in l.a. where someone would look at you funny for speaking a language other than english. it's just normal here.
