    The Native Americans of MEXICO gave us CORN, CHOCOLATE, SQUASH, TOMATOES, CHILI PEPPERS, REFRIED BEANS, and much more!. They first domesticated Corn, 9000 years ago!. When Cortes came to Mexico to conquer it, he found the capital city was larger than the largest cities in Europe, and it had stone buildings and water aqueducts. They had also independently domesticated Cotton, Sunflower Seeds, and other useful crops, and made woven cotton clothing. I am sad to see so many ignorant comments by people who really know very little beyond bellowing whatever racist comments are popular in their sad social set. When I look at the spelling and grammar it is clear that some of these were the ones who sat at the back of the class. Why not better yourself as a human being and get some education? Racism is almost always the result of the loser set looking for an excuse to feel superior. Think about it, people who love corn, chocolate, and chill peppers....

    Its really sad that this tragic event is ignored and not talked about.
    The US since its foundation to present day has always used Mexicans to build this modern country but they never want to give credit to Mexicans, instead they want to use them as scapegoats for their economic problems even though the opposite is true which is that Mexicans have contributed to the US more than Americans know and would ever admit.

      What? So the black slaves, Irish and other millions of immigrants that worked hard labor building infrastructures that made America a nation don't count? Look at the pictures of the workers in all the major infractures and factories and you will find mostly Europeans, blacks and no Hispanics. The Mexicans did menial work at the Southwest U.S. that could've of easily been done by bringing in more Chinese. The Asians came to America to work hard and nobody hears them complain! Stop the exaggerations.

      My great grandmother was born in Los Angeles in 1897. She was of Mexican descent but, I never heard any of my family say they were Mexican. Til this day all my uncles, aunts, cousins & nephews & their kids don't claim to be Mexican. Before the 90's Mexican Americans were a lot more modern & called themselves Americans. They were skaters, rockers, greasers, break dancers even surfers. Some time in the 90's it seemed like our own people started shaming us calling us coconuts, race traitors, we want to be white. even in certain occupations they would try to put us down. I think this is one of the reasons why a lot of our people haven't prospered. In the inner cities it's still cool to be a cholo, a lowrider, drug dealer or, do tattoos & still dress in a 80's fashion.

      @SuperRip7 2 роки тому

      Before I begin, I stand by my statement. And if I have to make a topic or subject statement or some sort of sound bite, I will never use adverbs like always, never, simply or well. It just takes the juice away and render it bland or clunky. Even though I believe it, it doesn’t mean that people who know English and Spanish well are an elite group of people. Most of them are average but are aspirational people who know English for reasons that are sufficient.
      As for English acquisition is concern, one of the problems lies is in the ESL program. To me, it is no different than general welfare, whether it is for poor Americans or newly arrived immigrants. Username “Jacob Mendoza” there are plenty of parameters, and I am not going to mention them all since it would be confusing to remember. However, if you combine high immigration, an area that is a free society, high monoculturalism, schools that are underfunded, and a language program that is politicized, I don’t think (and I hope many readers will agree) that many Hispanic students are not properly ready to be entrusted into an “English speaking world” when you think about it. Why? because the program constantly ends in mixed results. There are students who just go through the motions of many failing school- schools who don’t tell the students how English is influential to the U.S., and at the end have marginal skills of English. To them, opportunities for Spanish abound in the States and they already made up their mind. Nevertheless, they can do some English. They can use the language for informal situations like customer service and impromptu interpreters for parents. Yet, overall, even these kids think their knowledge of English is limited and there are tasks in life they are not ready in which I will mention later. For others, knowing English well means success in America. They are highly self-motivated and are willing to apply themselves to get there. Despite the shortcomings of ESL, they plough on through respectively. When the Hispanic students speak English, they speak it with a high degree of spontaneity and with comprehension that is at least in parity with average native speakers of English. These students are prepared to be thrusted into the English-speaking world. These people are more likely to be cops, firefighters, Marines, civil servants, legal officers, etc. Thus, there is a portion percentage of them. For the others, they just enter the full-time work force when they turn eighteen or leave school. Not surprisingly, they have a high degree of exposure to Spanish-speaking people be it Spanish-speaking co-employees or customers and have seldom exposure to English speakers. So, every time the local news people speak in praise about one Mexican American family for being the “first in their family to graduate” as if school was a foreign concept to them, three, four, or five of them enter the work force and no news report it because that is not a news story at all. So simply put it, Mexican American leave much to be desired because of an uneven record of knowing English. Nonetheless, I am very skeptical that Mexican Americans would ever become a large member of the English-speaking world in my lifetime, and I am over thirty. There is no way because I was born and raised in the Los Angeles Area my whole life and to this day, I have never met any Mexican-American person who is a native-English speaker or learn Spanish later in life; never in the flesh. And yes, that includes the grandchildren of immigrants. To dovetail this even further, calling Mexican Americans a bilingual is premature statement by a wide margin. But even mentioned it is welcomed by university ethnic studies who yearn for a day when English is no longer the predominant language. Think about it. Jacob Mendoza, we live in the Information Age and an era in which Spanish is slowing coming into prominence even though the native speakers of English are still monolingual since the school had no resources and the Hispanic students sneer at them for being as such. They have the most incentive, not just because the market for Hispanic people is high but to show some brethren to the other twenty Spanish-speaking countries on earth.
      Well, as I mentioned before this is my take. Let me hear yours. I knowingly understand that vicious disagreements will come my way, but I am prepared. I know writing this statement will cause a stir in the Hispanic community, but nobody can complain I was not ready for it.

      @@SuperRip7 It's an interesting take. But it is wrong. If the kid is born in the U.S and goes to school they quickly assimilate and learn English. So when you say "Mexican-Americans" I'm going to assume you mean people of Mexican heritage born and raised in the U.S. The US Census data also supports that the longer Mexican Americans are in the US the quicker they forget Spanish and they don't teach the following generation the language either. Amongst the community they are referred to as "no sabo kids". Mexican kids that don't no Spanish. Mexicans have been here for a long time. The ones who don't know English are usually immigrants and even then they learn enough to get by. Your anecdotal evidence of living in LA and never meeting a Mexican that speaks English can't really be taken seriously in a debate.
