Mexican American Discrimination

We aren't flawless, but context matters. Mexicans in America are better off than in Mexico, especially in Red States. There are always bigotries; worse in blue states than red, like Mexican-Americans in Texas versus California. Mexicans are usually treated better in America (with more rights/liberties/security) than they are in Mexico. And Americans in Mexico are certainly treated worse than Mexicans in America. So we aren't flawless, but context matters. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2022-04-14

In many places in America, like California, you find that Mexican Americans (legal or illegal), tend to stay in Mexican American communities -- little pockets where the signs and culture are more like a Mexican expat community than America. L.A. and the Bay Area are especially known for this. Whereas if you look at some other places like Texas, you find that Mexicans are everywhere -- far more integration and mixing. And successes as in running large businesses, CEO's, and other executives. Or as I say to irk some coastal bigots, "In Texas, mexicans aren't just for picking and preparing your food, or doing your cleaning and gardening". They are often offended that I'm exposing the bigotry in places where the left dominates the culture.

That's not to say there aren't Mexican enclaves in Texas: there are. Heck, the culture dominates some cities (especially border towns like Brownsville). But Tejas was briefly part of Mexico -- but even while it was an independent nation and longer as a State, the Mexican culture and Texas culture borrowed and influenced each other, back and forth. Texas originated foods we think are Mexican include Margarita's, Tapatio sauce, Queso, Chile Con Carne, Chimichangas, and most Taco's: Fajita's, Crispy shell, Four Tortilla, with cheese or sour cream -- are all from Texas. Some things like Taco Salad, Lime in Corona's and Burrito's likely originated in California.

🗒️ Note:

From 1821 (Mexican independence from Spain) until 1835 (Texas's independence), Texas was a Mexican territory. Of course, while it was part of Mexico for 14 years, it was an independent nation for 10 years and has been part of the United States for 175+ years. This makes people that think Texas (or other parts of America) is "stolen" from the Mexicans deliciously ignorant. It's like they don't know that Mexicans or Americans in Texas have virtually always been treated better than Mexicans or Americans in Mexico.
