He says he doesn't think so. He said they are probably a local thing we're from New Mexico and other self-respecting Mexicans would never have fiestas like this.
Can you clarify? Dear Very Confused Chica: "Self-respect" and "Mexicans" in regards to fiestas go together like "logic" and "Republicans" on America's immigration issues.
Some scholars also posit that matanzas were Hispanic rituals dating back centuries, with the pig the center of the feast: Since the Moorish rulers of the Hispanos' ancestors and the Jews they always despised couldn't eat pig, the feast was a great way for Spaniards and their descendants to smoke any marranos or moriscos out of the pueblo's ranks and into the bonfire.

But my experiences at the personal level are precisely what allow me to reach the conclusion that Mexicans, generally speaking, hate Puerto Ricans, and the other way round.
Still, every Latino Chicagoan knows this to be the case. The Puerto Ricans in Humboldt Park have their own cultural and community organizations, with their own events, their own schools and their own businesses. Same goes for the Mexicans in La Villita. The artists of each group work on separate projects and the activists rally for separate causes. There are Puerto Rican gangs and Mexican gangs, obviously. I only stepped foot in La Villita during a class outing during my last year of college.
I came to Pilsen as writer for a predominately Mexican art-activism media company based in the neighborhood, and for a while I was the only writer who discussed Puerto Rican issues and the goings-on in Humboldt Park.
Mind you, nearly everyone in the group was Mexican, young and progressive; many were even leftists. And yet, geography and nationalism kept them from exploring much beyond their own Mexicentrism, just as it had kept me from knowing much about their world and their culture.
The summer after second grade, my Honduran mother finally left my Puerto Rican father and moved us from predominately-Puerto-Rican Humboldt Park to a predominately-Mexican suburb. For a long time my brother, my sister and I were the only Puerto Rican kids we could name in the whole town. My aunt herself sort of adopted Mexican culture — just as my other Honduran aunt would adopt Puerto Rican culture — and I first caught the rhythms of Mexican Spanish from her and my uncle.
The marriage soon collapsed and my uncle went away, taking his Mexicanness with him. Our neighborhood was a bit rough. I then opted for an Asian — a Korean J. Rocio is neither hardcore Mexican nor fully Americanized, but she definitely shows flashes of both. I learned about Cantinflas when she compared his comedic movements to the way I dance banda. Within my own family, it had been expressed on a number of occasions and in a variety of ways by the older folks that my generation was not to date Mexicans, much less marry them.
As Hondurans, an aura of superiority permeated our clan, as we viewed Mexicans, and even Puerto Ricans, as vulgar or corriente — a word I learned from my Mexican partner. People of Mexico have a mixture of descendants of indigenous people like Spanish colonizers, Aztecs , Toltecs, Mayans, etc..
Most of the Mexicans are not indigenous rather they are mestizos which means a mixture of European colonization African ancestry and indigenous.
Sometimes Mexican people also look like Indians. Mexico is famous for being the origin of chocolate, its food and drinks. Mexican food is a blend of indigenous and Spanish food. Use spices in Mexican food are corn, chocolate, Chipotle , beans, oregano, Chilly, etc.. Mexican food is world-famous and is loved among different countries of the world.
The Spanish blend gives spicy features in the food. The language of Mexican is also different, there are different languages spoken in Mexico like the Spanish language, Nahuatl, Mixtec, Zapotec languages, etc.. The accent of Mexicans is melodious, it feels as if they are singing the song, they are sweet and humble in behaviour.
