Just go with the pants answer, I wont respond with my answer, as it may offend some of my Hispanic brothas, but I will say I dont like to be called Chicano. I prefer Latino, Hispanic or....

is chicano a bad word?

i hear this real interesting piece on NPR about chicano artists, I'm gonna go down to LACMA and check it out...

Thanks Cheech Marin,

Nope, I dont like it or want to be called one.

She says its ok
He says its ok
I dont think its ok
They still think its ok

Still they insist on it
They just dont understand
I know my reason but wont tell
Really hes been pushing
Everyone now wants to know
Really its no big deal

Soy Mixto!
1/2 Salvadoran y 1/2 assorted cuacasian varietals (English/Irish/etc...).

Chicano, the way I understand it refers solely to those born and raised in US of Mexican descent.

Ive heard the same.

I really hate all these names that they assign to us in the USA.
There is not such a thing as a Latino!
This implies that we are of "Latin???" descent?
Do we speak "latin"???
If we are Hispanic, then the americans must be "English"
We are Cuban (like myself) or Mexican or Argentinian.
This reveals the country here we were born. If you were born here, then in my book, you are an American. Or more precisely, an Estadounidense.
Then there is the race of the individual. We come in all colors, just like the Americans! There are white Cubans, black Argentinians (YES, there are black Argentinians, I know two.!) Venezuelan amerindian, whites, mixed race, black, etc. etc. etc.
The Americans do not own title to the White Race! My family comes from Spain and our necks are redder than in many Americans I know!
Also, as we all are very aware, we do not get along all the time, since in many cases we are extremelly nationalistic.
As for riding scooters and being "latino", what does one thing has to do with the other??

I'm a wannabe latino with a wife who is of Mexican descent.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"lots of nonsense"

Are you speaking about your post? or the previous posts?

A lot of latinos are into the Ruckus scoots.

This is the ultimate latino Vespa on Ebay now.

My Best friend is of the same opinion.
I guess one must remember that we are the country that came up with the "One Drop" rule and maybe one day we will progress past that point.

WOW! Amazing example of serious Scooter Art - which comes out of the rich mural traditions of the Mexican Revolution - of Diego Rivera - Jose Clemente Orozco - David Siquieros - but also out of the rich mural traditions of Barrios and street art - and also lowriders. Way cool!

Juan, Pay him no mind, hes from Lapland. No ones asked him for a lap dance, so hes a little bitter.

This is Indonesian art. The English do the same type of paint work.

I see your point and agree. Lets all agree to be called HUMANS.

As mentioned above, I dont see colors of skins when I ride, I see colors of scooters.

Muraled Scoot is beautiful, everything but Ganesha... I don't think the Jag fender unit really works with it. But it's a great theme in my opinion. R
