I feel unworthy commenting in this thread with a nickname that does not end in either otl or intle. Oh well.

Otl,

In everyday life you’re entirely as tolerant as any 21st century citizen of the world should be.

Intle,

I’d be curious to hear what your sister has to say. In a neighborhood so segregated between Latin@ and hipster (at least as segregated as Echo Park), there are few people (with the exception of itzpapalotl) who I’d think could be part of both communities.

Geez. I am not sure what my sister does there…she’s one half hipster (bookish, non-profit, bicycle, artistic type), one half Mexican, and one half weirdo (just like her bro). Is she torn or does she feel right at home? I will have to ask her…

I am sure she goes for the 50 cent tacos, though.

I am not as sanctimonious as I may sound from this post, am I? Anyway, a good thing about being a latina in the Mission: none ever calls ME a hipster
