"It's been a great run,
cabrones, but all the hateful email, the attacks by PC
pendejos and the fact that few of you have bothered to submit video questions to my YouTube channel wear on a guy," writes
OC Weekly scribe Gustavo Arellano in this week's farewell column. The four-year-old award-winning column had also
spawned a book, and caused
many a stir in
communities around the country when alt-weeklies began running it. Arellano, who is hosting the AltWeekly Awards luncheon at this year's AAN convention, says his work busting stereotypes and tweaking racial prejudices is largely done. "It's no longer necessary to explain Mexicans to Americans because Mexicans are Americans," he writes.
