Here's another thing (and don't take this the wrong way, I have many friends who are Mexican and I am in no way racist):
They have Mexican flags, they came here from Mexico, then have "Viva la Mexico!" bumper stickers, yet they insist they are "hispanic" or "latino" ... what happened to them being Mexican? The only reason I can think of that would make them not want to be called Mexican is if they were embarassed that they were from Mexico, in which case, why do they have all the flags and bumper stickers and everything?
Nigerians are from Nigeria
Chinese are from China
Japanese are from Japan
Indians are from India
English are from England
Americans are from America
Germans are from Germany
Italians are from Italy
Mexicans are from Mexico
It's as simple as that.
And another:
I don't know if you people have heard of the prison in southern California (the name slipped my mind) where instead of teaching the prison gaurds to speak spanish, they are forcing the prisoners to speak english. Which makes sense, but anywho. There has been a slew of "latinos" or whatever they want to be called complaining about how it's like Nazi Germany, this and that, it's oppressive. Dude, if we were to get locked up in a Mexican prison, first off it would be a heck of a lot worse than an American one, and secondly, there is no way in **** they would be learning english so they could communicate with us, no way, they'd make us speak spanish. Heck, they wouldn't even go through the trouble of teaching us spanish, we'd have to figure it out on our own.
