I have to admit, the aesthetics of this pic from Tuesday’s Obama photo-op got me. And though I know it’s just one photo of kids at one high school in Colorado (with probably a fairly large Latino population), it strikes me how brown America has become and how a dwindling portion of our electorate refuses to accept this.
