Wow! You are just the just the type of intolerant person I was referring to. Calling people names and displaying your total lack of writing skills. Incomplete sentences, run-ons, dangling metaphors etc. For your information, I grew up in the inner city of Houston, Texas from the early sixties through the late seventies. During that time, there were many wars in Central America. This forced many people from that area into Mexico. That in turn forced a migration of Mexicans north into Texas. A lot of them ended up in my neighborhood around the time I was in junior high (middle school). I witnessed first hand the hatred the Chicanos displayed to the Mexicans from Mexico. There were ongoing gang fights with these kids using knives, chains lengths of pipe… you get the picture. It was brutal. I am glad to hear you were spared that sort of thing. I remember the Mexican American kids picking on the Mexican kids when we all would queue up in line, saying things like “pescao otro lao”. Before you jump on the chance to correct my Spanish, I know it is “pescado al otro lado”. That brings up that the Mexicans used to poke fun at the Chicanos for speaking colloquial Spanish (Tex-Mex). The comment regarding being Mexican by default is a commentary on the attitudes of the local “gringos”: if you have dark hair and dark eyes and your name ends in a vowel, you are a Mexican “by default”. While visiting a girlfriend in the hospital once while in high school ( I went to what at the time was referred to as a KIKKER high school) I was cornered by a bunch of her male relatives and was told point blank , “Up north you fellers are called Latin Lovers, if I was you I’d move up north”!
So, do not presume to call me a bigot, I have met bigots from both ends of it. If you have lived some sort of insular life and have no clue what is up in the real world, I suggest you grow up and open your eyes and shut your big mouth. You just might learn something.
If you knew a darned thing about sociology you would see the “tribal” mentality alive and well throughout the world. Just look at the major areas of present conflict:
The Balkans: Serbs against Albanians, Croats against Bosnians
The Middle East: Jews against Palestinian (who really aren’t Arab but descendants of the Philistines who many historian trace back to the Aegean), Arabs against Persians (Iranians)
Africa: Tutsi against Huttu, Boer against Zulu, Rwandan against Ugandan
The Sub Continent: Indian against Pakistani
Asia Minor: Turk against Kurd
Spain has the Basque separatist
It is all tribal you idiot. Heck, once the Navaho got horses they would regularly sweep down out of Texas and whip the stuffing out of the Mexican towns down in the Valley, why do you think Santa Anna allowed Stephan F. Austin to start his settlements? It was to introduce a new “tribe to act as a buffer zone between the Navaho and the Mexican towns. Don’t you know any history at all?
Bottom line. All of my comments are TRUE. If it is too real for you, then go back to playing video games or what ever you do. You act like there is something wrong with being Mexican. You seem to take it as a put down or derogatory, so who is truly the bigot, eh?
Hey, all that aside like it or not we are both Cantu’s, lets be chill, OK? I will even tell you a cool Mexican Joke:
This Mexican couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out into town and party with his old Camaras, so he says to his wife, "Preciosa, I'll be right
back..." "Where are you going Papi chulo...?" Asked the wife. "I'm
going to the bar, Mamasita. I'm going to have a beer." The wife says to him: -"You want a beer mi amor...? Then she opens the door to the refrigerator and shows him 25 different kinds of beer brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc. The husband doesn't know what to do, and the only thing that he can think of saying is, "yes, mujer linda... but the bar...you know...the frozen glass..."
He didn't finish the sentence, when the wife interrupts him by saying, - "You want a frozen glass mi precioso...? She takes a huge beer mug out of the freezer so frozen that she was getting chills holding it. The
husband, looking a bit pale, says , "Yes, mi dulce, but at the bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be long. I'll be right back. I promise. OK...?" "You want hors d'oeuvres caramio...?" She opens the oven and takes out 15 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres:
chicken wings, pigs in a blanket, mushroom caps, pork strips, etc.
"But querida...at the bar...you know...the swearing, the dirty words and all that..."You want dirty words mi macho hombre...?" "HERE, TOMA TU PINCHE CERVEZA IN YOUR PINCHE FROZEN COPA AND COMETE TUS PINCHE SNACKS, PORQUE YOU AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE! GOT IT MARICON...!!"
