Selena Died 20 Years Ago — Why We’re Still Talking About Her Mark on American Culture

 

 

By A Texas Reader

I remember her murder vividly. She got gunned down inside a pickup truck by a fellow Latina. Jealousy I guess. Or Mexican family values.

Anyways, I used to celebrate Selena's passing. I'd run around the offices of Deloitte & Touche, my former employer, shouting, "Selena forever! Selena's dead forever! Selena forever! Selena's dead forever!"

Gee, I wonder why I got fired?

Besides, Mexicans and violence go together like whores and whorehouses.

N.S.: Who is “we”?
