Multiculturalism is nothing new in Nor Am. It may have taken some time for the English to adjust in the past but they did. Now the amalgamated cultures of our forefathers and ourselves needs to adjust again.

You're preaching to the choir, I drove taxi for 2 years in Long Beach and around Los Angeles.. I have seen lots of bad areas, and you quickly learn how to speak Spanish in that job..

Yeah, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with stupidity or ignorance.
Perhaps, but everyone has different experiences.
The kid is from San Antonio. Last I heard, San Antonio was in TX. Calling the kid an illegal Mexican is just foolish and false. Fact is fact whether those numbskulls like it or not.
Do the Palestinians on the West Bank like the Israeli settlers? Of course not. It's the same thing here.
It's hatred for the invader. Those being invaded always hate invaders. That's why so many Irish still hate the Orangemen.
What does that mean?
San Antonio is no longer part of the USA. It's part of Mexico as far as I'm concerned.
Multiculturalism produces fruit from a poisonous tree.
It is part Texas, USA.
Have you forgotten history, it was part of Mexico and there are plenty of Mexican descendants that never left after the Alamo.
Sounds to me like lame excuses for being a bigot, any damn fool can be a bigot, it's a little tougher finding empathy, understanding, and even acceptance of others. We can never call ourselves civilized until we do.
"Presidio San Antonio de Béxar was a Spanish fort built near the San Antonio River, located in what is now San Antonio, Texas, USA. It was designed for protection of the mission system and civil settlement in central Texas. It also served to secure Spain's claim to the region from French, English and American aggression." (Wikipedia) The Mexican War of Independence finally threw off the yoke of Spanish suppression in 1821 but it wasn't long until American invaders illegally entered the area and soon outnumbered the weak Mexican frontier force culminating in the Texas War of Independence in 1836. Texas didn't become a State of the U.S. until 1845.

Very few Latinos can trace their ancestry back to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
You're entitled to your opinion.
Like the northern Irish, you mean?
So, you are saying this kid invaded San Antonio rather than being a native of it? You are saying that aboriginals invaded North America rather than Europeans?
oooooookaaaaaaaaaayExactly what it said. Your view of a barrio may be quite different from mine.
lmao Well, until San Antonio lifts up its skirts and walks across the border, your opinion means sfa.
I repeat: your view may be quite different from mine, and it is.

Yeah, our views are antithetical to each other. I don't think either of us will learn anything by continuing this discourse.
It seems to me that ancestry is fact, not opinion...so I'm curious which one of you can actually come up with info to back up their claim.

I am not aware of any reasons why the situation in California would be different than in Texas...except that Texas was independent in 1836 instead of falling in 1848.
The Hispanic population of California in 1970 was less than fifteen percent. Those Hispanics were the descendants of the Californios and were pretty much assimilated. The overwhelming increase in the latino population in California has come since the 1986 Amnesty.
