[ComradeRed]

[LaRevolucion]

[ComradeRed]

*Blows whistle* Now this is the kind of debate we oughta be havin'!

First of all, it's senorita. Second of all it's either Baja California, or Tijuana, not Tijuana-Baja. Third of all, they don't have law schools in Tijuana....they have law offices, not schools. Fourth of all, you should've spelled 'Americano,' americano, in Spanish, you don't capitalize nationalities, languages, and countries. Fifth of all, I'm still in high school. Funny how you could not see through that facade, Mr. Smarty Pants. Sixth of all.....bakayaro.

I just wanted to put up something that I thought was extremely hilarious! It's not meant to offend, so if you're Mexican, read on......

Are You a True Mexican?

If you can run and play any sport while wearing chanclas....Mexican
status!!

If your late tio left you a van and you turned it into a taco vending
business,
Yes, you're a Mexican

If you have ever hurt yourself and your mamacita rubbed the area while
chanting, "Sana, Sana, Colita de rana....." You're Mexican, big time!!!

If you have your last name in old English lettering anywhere on your car,
truck, or tattooed on your back. Yes, you ARE a Mexican (proud one too).

If you refer to your wife as your ruca, your wifey, your hyna, your wifa, your old
lady, or your vieja, guess what? You're a Mexican.

If you throw a "Grito" every time you hear Vicente Fernandez,
then not only are you a Mexican, but you are a drunk Mexican.

If you have ever been pinched in church and been told "pobrecito de ti si
lloras" or "Vas a ver orita que salgamos." Yes, you're definitely a
Mexican.

If you grew up scared of someone called La Llorona, or fear the dark
because of El CuCuy! Yes! Mexican!

Si te persinas with a lotto ticket in your hand before every drawing,
You're in the Mexican Zone!!!

If you ask for something by "dame esa chingadera" instead of calling it by
its name. Yup! Mexican!

If you constantly refer to cereal as "con fleys," pizza as "pixxa" or cake as "kay ke".
You're a Mexican.

If you use manteca instead of vegetable oil and can't figure out why your
butt is getting bigger......You might be a Mexican.

If you have some tias that dress up in their prom dresses to go to a
birthday party at "el parque". You are a Mexican.

If your tias and abuela dress up in their Sunday best with heels and all to
go to the "pulga." (AKA the Flea Market) Then, yes, you are a Mexican.

If most of the houses on your block are painted bright pink, mint green,
and purple. Mexican.

If you use the bushes in front of your house, the fence, or the top of an
old car to dry laundry. Yes, you're a Mexican.

If you're congested and your mamasita rubbed "Bicks" into your nostrils and
gives you "jugo de sebolla" with sugar, (grandma's recipe) to help relieve
your symptoms, You're Mexican.

If people in your barrio have chickens running around in the front yard, hardcore Mexican!

IF YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXPLANATIONS FOR ANY OF THE
ABOVE, YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A TRUE MEXICAN.
VIVA LA RAZA!!!

[ComradeRed]

Of course I knew you were kidding, why the hell would you be posting on CB if you were a Harvard law student??

Again... sarcasm.

Also, I'm not trying to speak Spanish I'm trying to speak FAKE SPANISH. There's a difference. If you want, I can do basic Spanish too.

[LaRevolucion]

Be my guest.

[rnrn897]

naw... don think so.. jus the title sounds racist lil

[HiddenFaerie]

It is stereotypical, because they are assuming first that all hispanics are mexicans, and second that they all hvae medicore jobs.But it could also be a good movie because it shows how if you take out one part of a community, the entire community falls apart

She pretty much said it all. This actually sounds like something I would watch, hopefully it will be a film which it leaves you thinking.

Hehe, Fake Spanish. I speak it all the time, it annoys my mother. That and Spanglish which is English and spanish in a mix. Yes those stereotypes annoy me to no end, but it's often fun to poke fun at them.

Si si, us latinos get no respect from the americanos, man...

[islandkiss]

In a way it seems a little racist acutally...they porbably have the roadwork not being done, toilets not getting cleaned, food not getting served in the movie once they are gonna. If that happens I would definitly find it racist as if everyone is assuming mexicans are all like that.

looks interesting though

they're being sterotypical.. it's screwed up.

It is fun to poke fun at them....like the thingy I posted earlier...lol
