Different Types Of Mexican

Who am I? This question asked so often suggests that there is actually a reasonable answer. Almost as if our own personal being were a fixed thing. Generally, people who ask this type of question are usually struggling with their identity and thus are looking for something to make sense of themselves. The irony is that the more you seek to identify who you are, the more you are exposed to being fragile. Some people spend their live looking for an answer that could possibly satisfy them but still never find anything. The main focus shouldn't be on discovering who you are but on considering the social influences that have affected you.

Is it right to stereotype someone for who they are, what they do, and what they think?

To understand who you are, you have to first understand your origin of where you are from. In the story, “A Fabricated Mexican,” by Rick P. Rivera, it is about a young boy named Ricky Coronado. His mom is a very strong- willed and encouraging mother, and he lost his father when he was still young. So without a father figure there to help him through life he is questioning himself about his life. Which probably lead to why he is so pessimistic and negative.

I am Alejandra Gomez and I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. My hobbies include camping, hiking, swimming and cooking in my spare time. I am a first generation Mexican-American. I identify strongly with my Mexican culture which is centered around family, food and music. My parents have been my biggest inspiration and motivators for accomplishing my career and educational goals. Even when I was completely uninspired, they were confident in my potential and I will forever be grateful to them for giving me everything that their parents could not offer them. As for what makes me, “me,” I would describe my personality as ambiguous. I can be candid but sarcastic, detail-oriented but messy, and unwavering but easy-going. For all of my contradictions, I have been told that it is difficult to get to know me, but one quality that I always try to maintain is to be

Johnson’s article tells the story of “how ethnic Mexican ideas and practices subverted U.S. racial practices” through the early Mexican civil rights movements and the effort of LULAC (419).

While the incorporation of environmental factors would contribute to a better understanding of the narrative, they are nonessential as they digress from Johnson’s chief point. Johnson careful picks where to lead the reader in order to showcase the upbringing of the moment, not deviating from his

Music has always been an outlet to use to express oneself sorrows, desires, and to tell stories. Mexican Americans have used music for decades to represent and honor their Mexican roots and patriotism, but to also express their struggles in the United States. It’s a pleasant combination of pride, struggle, and the journey of a relatable pain. Stories that are always told with Regional Mexican music are that of “mojados” (wetbacks), undocumented immigrants, deportation, government corruption and drug cartels. One of the most famous Mexican bands to date is Los Tigres Del Norte. Los Tigres sing stories that are relatable to their fans and now with Donald Trump’s presidency it seems the band will have new material at the very least for the

Who am I? Who am I is what I tend to ask myself often, more than I probably should. That question floats around in my head from day to day waiting to be answered. Well to answer my question, I’m my roots. My Mexican roots have shaped me into the person I am today any many ways. Such as, the food I love to eat, the languages I speak, the music I enjoy listening to, the places I enjoy going to, all of my traditions, how I dress, and my name. All of those factors tie into who I am, Alejandra. I have Mexican blood running through my veins, which I’m very proud of. I have my parents to thank for who I am.

The Southwest Culture: This cultural group was divided into two sets because of their lifestyles. They both lived in the present day Arizona which is a huge desert region and New Mexico (along some parts of Texas, Utah, Colorado and Mexico). Many of these groups people, like the Navajo and Apache were believed to be more nomadic than other groups. They were said to have survived by raiding, hunting and gathering their more established neighbors for their crops and belongings. And some of these same groups were sedentary farmers like the Zuni, Hopi, Yuma and Yaqui, who grew their own crops like the beans squash and corn. The Navajo and Apache tribes were always on the move, so their homes were less permanent than the pueblos. For example, the Navajo built their round eastward facing houses out of mud and bark, which are known as “Hogans”.
