You're right about the criminal element, but they uppity white folks that I work with and the ones I have gone to school with definitly have a lot of negative things to say about all races including and epsecially mexicans, and mexican-americans.
TRUE. The second sentence is more telling than anything though. You are made from the same cloth and yet can't help but point out the "us vs them" aspect .
Even then they usually dont with their Mex-american peers (professionals).. THey have that "Oh but your different your cool sucesfull American like me .... In So cal the prejudice towards Mexicans is a behind closed doors or in A political setting, and usually only towards immigrants not Mex/Americans.
I live in and Work in the United States and in Mexico...I have an office in Down town Mexico City.........:deal Por Las Ave. Insurgentes. They are required to call me "Licensiado" but they do it between their teeth and I know they don't like me......I don't have the typical "Pocho" accent and they were cool until they found out I was born in Bellflower, California....
At the end of the day its a status thing................ Alot of the pochos that work side by side with paisas are failures anyways because the whole purpose of the paisas coming over here is so that their kids/future generations would not fair better than they did. And if you are a pocho and didnt then it negated the whole purpose of your elders risking it crossing the border.
Mexicans hate American Hispanics. They feel that they abandoned their home country. Personaly, as a Real Tejano, I don't give a **** if mexicans like me or not, just stay on your side of the river.
DLH must be pissed, all these Mexican fighters wanting to be the first 4 weight world champion in the country's history, and Oscar had 10 titles in 6 divisions.
Apples to oranges. JCC was 38yrs old, past his prime, and he quit against the bigger, stronger fighter. ODLH quit against a midget, who according to him "Doesn't punch hard."
Look Im going to lay it down for the people that dont know. It does not matter one bit if your chicano, Mejicano, or even a half breed or Mexican born of Japanese parents. Mantequilla Napoles is one of Mexicos greatest even though coming from Cuba look how popular he was. As long as you have Mexican pride and especially, especially you shout out the 2 magic words "Viva Mexico!" you could of been Osama bin laden and the people will love you. Trust me.
Mexicans really hate us Tejanos because we kicked their assess out of Texas and told them to take their country and laws and shove them where the sun don't shine. We were loyal to Spain and then after to the United States for coming to our aid, and for that they hated us. Well tough ****. We won, you lost, get over it.
