I have plenty of Mexican friends but can't relate to mindset of most Mexicans. Most are actually pretty socially conservative, but their thinking is very simple and lean democrat. Mostly they are politically apathetic, but like to follow the crowd. Try to explain certain things to them their eyes gloss over, not stupid just brainwashed to not think beyond a certain world view. Especially can't relate to ghetto attitudes, have a few of those in our extended family. |

I'm a cocoanut.
Recently had DNA testing done by two different labs..., Dad's heritage is Pipil (Panchimalco, El Salvador) and Otomi (Ixmiquilpan Valley, Mexico) Mom's heritage is Southern Europe (Basque, Spain) and Native American (Apache) There is debate among the family of whether mom's Apache blood-line is Chiricahua or Mescaleros. But fact is... either way, I don't care... I'm good with just the Apache blood-line... it's kind'a cool knowing I may be a descendant of Geronimo The dude was a mega power-house strong willed summa-beesh...! I've been calling myself Mexican all my life, and now... things have changed a little... I am now and always will be a cocoanut. My father passed in 1989..., Dad forbade us to say Hispanic, he hated the word Latino, he said okay to calling ourselves Spanish since grandpa on mom's side was a Spaniard... BUT... OMG... DO NOT say Chicano around my dad... them was fighting words, he hated that word...! Dad was WWII VET and was very-very proud... raised us to speak English and English only. And you know why...! NOTE: My grandparents on both sides were born in the late 1800's... only my grandmother on my mom's side was born in 20'th Century... 1905. So... think about it... Geronimo was born in June of 1829 and died on Feb 17, 1909 My grandmothers mother (my Great grandmother) was born in 1880... her name was Powla and according to records... she was full blooded Apache. The exact tribe she was from, as I said, is of debate... it's a long story. It's not far fetch my friends... more wishful on my part... but... it's cool any way you look at it I've been calling myself Native American lately because... well, it's kind'a cool. But... I'm also very loyal to my dad... he was a GREAT man. I am Mexican.

The Obama administration quietly has been forcing new gun buyers to declare their race and ethnicity, a policy change that critics say provides little law enforcement value while creating the risk of privacy intrusions and racial profiling. |

But Latino refers to things like Latin America, because its not just Spanish, but Portuguese in Brazil. Hispanic would be talking about things related to Spain, (Latin America minus Brazil for example.) Romanian Language Translations Last edited by bonusweb; 09-21-2014 at 10:14 AM.. |

I am an American by way of Mexican parents. I will never forget my heritage and will always speak Spanish when spoken to in Spanish. With that being said " A mi me Gustan Los rifles y Tambien Las pistolas" or should I say fusgas or cuetes?

Half bean, half pasta here! Dad is 2nd gen. Mexican (there's word of his mom being Native American but she passed before I was born), mom is 2nd gen. Italian. I look 100% like my dad. One of my daughters came out looking like my mom with the reddish curly hair and green eyes. She's got all the luck! I don't speak Spanish but I can eat Mexican food with the best of them!
Come from a long line of brave military family members. The biggest hero of them all being my dad. Korean War vet. I was ready to sign on the dotted line when I graduated high school but my dad begged me not to because I was his only boy, the youngest and Desert Storm was just kicking off. I listened to him and went to college instead. Turned out fine. Still wish I would of carried the torch but that's the way it goes. My niece is now a Marine recruiter so it goes on. I love my diverse family history but make no mistake, she flies proud in front of my house year around.
