A study found Latinos are indispensable to the nation yet false narratives portraying U.S. Latinos as outsiders or burdens are not only inaccurate—they also shape harmful attitudes and policies. Latinos are among the nation's most important contributors to economic growth, workforce participation

Closer look at some pieces I made inspired by being Mexican American

Each piece is a garment I bought at either a thrift store antique store flea market or garage sale and altered it using vintage and modern patches I sourced from either Mexico or the U.S at those same thrifts garage sales or flea markets. Some patches are even handmade by some of my friends and family. For some it might be too much or too colorful but each one is a representation of how I see Mexico or how I feel being Mexican American.the first 2 patches on the back were made by a homie named Moises from yucantan Mexico. He painted the back by hand using natural dyes.

Meaning of "Rancho"

Hi, I hope this doesn't come across as disrespectful or that this is the wrong sub.

I'm a Mexican immigrant living in the US, and often, talking to Mexican Americans, I hear them say that their parents "grew up in the rancho" or that they go back to mexico to "the rancho".

Where I grew up in Mexico I mostly heard rancho to refer to a particular type of farm. For a while that's what I imagined people were referring to but seeing how common it is I am no longer sure and it feels disrespectful to ask in person.

Do they literally mean that their parents were farmhands or is it something more like "the countryside"?

Edit: thank you everyone. It seems like it means different things to different people haha.

Roofers get into a fight while working on a job, fall off the roof, and continue fighting. "The white folks are gonna call the cops if you guys don't calm the f*ck down..." one man was heard saying in Spanish. Remarkable camera work here.

Do you mark white when you are filling out a form if Hispanic or Latino isn’t an option?

I know many Latinos and Chicano’s that do that they mark white

Looking for the most Mexican 4th of July party I can find within 4 or 5 hours of Southeastern Idaho.

I want to party with my family on the 4th, but I'm looking for the kind of party where there will be a 0% chance of hearing toby keith. I'm looking for good, live mariachi music, good food, great people. I don't even care if there are fireworks.

Mexicans vs Mexican American on twitter

The whole discourse of Mexicans, hating on Chicanos, and Chicanos, hating on Mexicans is absolutely insane. They literally hate each other and grab each other’s throats out of all the places Twitter is probably the one of the most toxic within the Latino Hispanic community.

Which is absolutely insane

Saying this as a Hispanic American

Español: Todo el discurso de los mexicanos, odiar a los mexicano-americanos, y los mexicano-americanos, odiar a los mexicanos es absolutamente una locura. Literalmente se odian el uno al otro y se agarran la garganta de todos los lugares. Twitter es probablemente el más tóxico dentro de la comunidad hispana latina.

Lo cual es absolutamente una locura

Decir esto como hispanoamericano

side note: i dont want to bring discourse to both sides I just want to bring up the toxic things twitter can make people think

Portuguese or Tagalog?

I already speak English and Spanish and I'm looking for something FUN to learn this summer. I am thinking that Portuguese or Tagalog (especially Taglish) would be pretty chill to learn and they have really fun and robust entertainment options (music, web content, shows/movies) to keep me busy. I'm not looking for super deep knowledge, just enjoying learning slang and basic understanding. Which would you recommend based on it being fun to learn! 🇵🇭🇧🇷

As Chicanos we must be in good relation with all indigenous people. Hearing what they have to say helps us be better allies. Here’s Lakota Nick Estes and Cherokee Rebecca Nagel on the topic of the 250 year mark of the American Project. Link in comments.

why do we associate being an american as a white thing

not saying its all but i have no idea how prevalant it is but i see it all the time in social media whenever a latino says hes proud to be american then there are memes of an indegenous man with blond hair or a person with dark skin in front of a mirror and the mirror reflects a white person and claim they want to be white and its bothering me with this community so much. being american is always white but never the asian latino indian arabs ect. also stop associating it with politics. if this is going to bother you and gets downvoted then i will see that its very prevalent. i get it, the memes is kinda funny im not gonna lie but still and its always this same guy in the meme lol
