because their parents were the white-washed types who didnt teach them. 2 of my chicano studies teachers in the past either didnt know how to speak spanish or barely knew but it doesnt make them any less in tune with the life and struggles mexicans face in the USOriginally Posted by highlife32
smh......how can u claim to be a certain race and proud of that culture if u cant even speak the language???? one of the first things any infant is taught is how to speak.....what if those friends of yours went down to mexico to visit some family and couldnt even communicate with them??? i understand that people migrate to different countries to better their lives, but why should the culture be lost???Originally Posted by nawlinsjunkie
im from norcal too and i know a @#$% of mexicans who dont know spanish but are proud of their heritage.
point is, fab, lloyd banks, AZ, and all those other rappers claiming to be "half latino" are doing it for publicity. the moment i hear any of em do an interview in spanish, i will retract my statements........
people who claim to be mexican(and latino) and dont speak spanish=POSERS!!!!!
my dude, what are they then if theyre posers? you ARE your ethnicity no matter what you do and even if you try to deny it. Its in your blood, theres nothingyou can do that will make you NOT that race.and what do you mean they cant communicate with their own people? the way youre making it sound is that no mexicanscan speak english.come on your thinking is really one sided. I know a mexican professor that was raised by a white family his entire life but still gives backalot and is always trying his best to uplift the mexican american community by giving back and forming awareness groups for the problems they face. if youstill think hes a "poser" youre just being hella ignorant
yes its unfortunate that they didnt learn spanish. thats cool that youre teaching your daughter to learn spanish, i respect that because the language isdefinitely a part of the culture that youre passing down. but its not everything, and IMO not the main part of any culture. I know you know dudes who arefluent in their native language but are self hating as @#$% and embarassed of their culture. that to me is alot worse
