This is just my opinion and outlook on this And I’m from the southwest California to New Mexico and Texas before the 1900s and have family who are around durring rhe Chicano movement. This is includes many other Chicanos like myself that are in my circle

Me and many other Chicanos of California which aren’t many of us it seems and feels anymore since we are most likely just Americanized by default ,don’t fit the stereotype and because the huge immigration wave that came after the 90s from Mexico find it odd that majority of these people who are descendants from current south Mexico who weren’t in the USA until the 90s onward claim California and Chicano

I don’t believe that it right at all. We have our own culture and history and to have people who have different ways of life coming here and changing California(and not the best always )while claiming our history and identity is not cool at all. They are not Chicano or have no right to even say California was Mexico so they feel like they have the right to have this entitlement and attitude . Yes it was for a tiny bit named “Mexico” but overall it was California ,Neuvo Espana and already had people of the area(Spanish descendants and natives of the area ) and their children which eventually were the Californios then the Chicanos . [Same people,same area just different name] (remember that) very different from current Mexican people descendants

BUT the people from the time are culturally, socially different and from a whole different geographical area (current California) from the people claiming it (people of southern Mexico) . Chicanos don’t even do that . Why ? This is the USA CALIFORNIA . The Mexican Americans of the past and Chicanos fought for the rights to be treaty fairly and as Americans just for these people to come wave the Mexican flag disrespect the USA and then claim our identity . The ignorance and disrespect to us and our families of California

The representation of California is not good at all Now and it started happening when the amount of immigrants who came to California AFTER THE CHICANO movement around the year 2000. And to top it off they don’t like us at all push us away and try to look down on us which doesn’t phase us to be honest but the side eye they give to real Chicanos . Like really come on now dude nobody wants to hear the truth but somebody has to say it.

Where is the lie anywhere in the post? If I get bashed on for speaking my opinion of truth . Then the people who get upset have issues and know that what I’m saying is all true

To get to Aztlan on the other side.

If any

Hey everyone, I’m reaching out because I’d love some advice. I’m Chicano and raising two daughters, but I wasn’t really exposed to much of my Mexican heritage growing up. I want to start introducing more of the culture to my girls so they can experience it. Right now, we cook Mexican food, but that’s about it. Are there any special holidays, traditions, foods, or customs I can start sharing with them? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I am second Gen. My mom is from Mexico but has lived in the States since before I was born (30+ yrs ago) and is now a naturalized citizen. The last few months of my relationship with my mom have been challenging (TBH, we have always had a challenging relationship). I am pansexual and demi femme/GNC and came out to my mom in july. She didn't take it well at first but came around (kind of). My mom voted for Trump in 2016. Knowing this, I've had many conversations with her about what another Trump presidency would mean and how it could effect women, people with uteruses, LGBTQ+, immigrants, etc. She always acted understanding. About a month before the election I asked her how she was feeling about everything and she said she wasn't sure what she was going to do, but asked me "what has Trump done that is so bad?" I laid it out for her but she was still like, "I don't know, I don't like Harris, so maybe I won't even vote." The conversation went sideways after that because I asked her about all our past conversations and she was like, "we will just have to agree to disagree" so I told her I would need space if she voted for Trump. Fast forward to last night, I finally got the courage to call her but the convo did not go well again. She admitted to voting for Trump and said that she doesn't know how to talk to me and that she doesn't know who I am (even though I have been verrrry transparent about what I'm up to and who I am and what my values are). She said that I need to respect her decision and that "when I'm older" I'll understand that I shouldn't put politics before family. But for me... I feel like that's what she did. It's about our morals and values, and that at the end of the day, though she knew how the policies of another Trump administration would directly impact me, she still made a decision to vote for him. I don't know what to do except that everytime time I speak with her I feel awful and rejected. Part of me feels like I need to cut her off but the other part of me feels like that's too drastic? I know that we come from different generations, we have had different experiences, etc. but at the end of the day, i had a hard time accepting that she was blissfully ignorant in her decision. Am I being too harsh by distancing myself?

Like Knightowl goes by the bald headed kingpin or payaso goes by the Duke of Earl

Sorry for repeating myself. I ain’t new to rap been Jammin since 10 I just don’t know how these characters are created

The holidays are coming and this is where many businesses make the bulk of their income. it's time immigrants, children of immigrants, and allies put their money where their money is. Boycott spending. Have businesses fail. Start with the mom and pop Trump supporting shops. They'll feel it the most. If we are going to be deported, might as well save my money to take it with us.
