    No so fast, my friend.

    There are Mestizo last names that are derived from Native American languages, not European Spanish, or a mixture of the two and can absolutely be considered Mexican names because they never existed in Spain.

    And of course, when referring to Mexican people one can make reference to Mexican names. It is a colloquialismm understood by all. The fact that the language is Spanish is not relevant.

    A chimichanga may incorporate the Spanish language, but it is NOT a Spanish dish, its a Mexican dish.

    Exactly.

    You know, it would seem to me that one would want to reside in the country that one is so fond and proud of.. I'm just sayin.

    I was thinking, wouldn't it be interesting to take this group of crybabies, bring them to another country.. Hmm.. Russia would do. Let's see them protest the Russians displaying the Russian flag on Cinco De Mayo and see where that gets them.

    it amazes me how yall dont understand what happened.

    you dont understand why mx-americans are proud of mx?

    you dont understand why mx-american teenagers would be upset about whites wearing american stuff on 5/5? --particularly in the middle of the new az bill?

    you dont understand why a principal would want the kids to not wear the american shirts?

    We understand. We just don't agree. When did it become politically incorrect to not observe someone else's holiday? If the hispanics want to drape themselves in a Mexican flag on the 4th of July, have at it. It wouldn't bother me one bit.

    If I don't wear green on St Paddy's day are the Irish going to be upset? Do I have the option of working on Labor Day or will the unions kick my azz?

    Can I wear an LSU jersey in Tuscalooser's stadium?

    This is F'n ridiculous and you are stupidly PC.
