The pigeon-holing of the Latino struggle as being primarily about immigration bothered me, as well. I wonder sometimes if, despite the fact that it is a transatlantic newsmagazine striving for a single tone/voice, it doesn't miss on some of the American social dynamics.
I have a very hard time evaluating The Economist in terms of its political and social stance: it seems quite liberal in some areas and conservative in others. I've written to the editor recently because of a few comments in articles that seemed very condescending toward women (for example, dismissing as frivolous middle class Turkish women who were concerned about increasing Islamic fundamentalism in government prior to their elections, and denigrating -I thought- women's choices not to have large families in an article on shrinking populations).
