Oh it's pretty accurate...Mexican's were not originally here en masse. It was the Texas Indians...
The Mexican Government actually had to encourage colonization of Texas by European Colonists because the Mexican citizens were so relucatant to do so.
Most of the actual Mexican Colonists that did come, fought for Texas Independence from Mexico.
Mexico's only claim to Texas was as a colonial property.
Maybe not, but it has everything to do with the thought process that goes on in your mind when you view Mexicans or Mexican-Americans, who cares about making distinctions, right?
Anyone who wants to be called Mexican American instead of just American, or considers ethnicity to be a reason to unite, cares about making distinctions...
I doubt most Mexican-Americans even know what the is going on in Mexico right now and probably have been as far south as the nearest bar in Laredo to sip some margaritas and buy cheap silver. They probably still think Fox is the president of Mexico. I understand your question but it's like you assume Mexican-Americans know what's going on and stay informed about Mexico, tuning in to Primer Impacto every night.
Wrong...
What I expexct them to know...is why they came over here, either their parents, or their grandparents...
And don't give me the crap that it's about the land...because it isn't...the Mexican citizens that cared about land stayed and fought for Texas Independence from Mexico.
I don't want Tejano's participating. I don't want Texas Indians participating...
I want Mexican citizens living in America or first or second generation Americans...
