Check Out This Cropportunity!

It’s not all bad news for immigrants these days. The Obama administration is taking the Arizona apartheid immigration law to court, and folks in Massachusetts are welcoming foreign vegetables to their soil and their markets! I assume it was some white person who gave them the clever name of “ethnic crops,” but the sentiment–growing “non-native vegetables that appeal to a growing market of African, Asian and Latin American immigrants,” is one I can get behind. After all, it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty, and I once tried to find jicama in Ithaca, NY. I think this vegetable diplomacy has legs, much like the jalapeno above. But are there ethnic crop circles?
