I am Chicano and I am proud of my Mexican bloodline and heritage
Simon!
Me to iam related to Pancho Villa my dad's from the same place Pancho Villa is from .
💯💯🤎🪶✊🏽
You're a victim of circumstance. You can't be proud of something you didn't pick.
@@deejayjuicebox7623 I’m not ignorant, I am aware that my bloodline is the outcome of what happened so long ago. I am not proud of that. Nor am I proud of the Spanish conquistador side of my family. I call myself chicano because I am reconnecting with my indigenous roots. I know where my native bloodline comes from and I am actively studying and reconnecting.
Yo Soy CHICANO... Y Que... ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Mexican American - Chicana 🤍
Yep
Ya sabes weyita
!
I’m Chicano and I’m brown and proud. I wish they would have mentioned the Chicano Movement of the 60s and 70s that mobilized and politicized Chicanos in the United States southwest, and the many accomplishments that were a direct result of the movement.
It provided Mexicans in the US with an identity that embraced our indigenous ancestry and recognized our complex history. My pops always says the movement declared to the nation that we were just as much Mexican as any Mexican from Mexico and just as much citizen of this country as any white person in America. Therefore, they demanded to be treated with dignity and respect as true “Americans” of this land since our people are from the Americas!
Chicanos are Mexican and American and we are proud of our rich history which ultimately produced its own unique and distinct Mexican culture and later Chicano culture. Also, another achievement that was a direct result of the Chicano movement was the creation and development of Chicano and Latino Studies departments across the United States. Sadly many Latinos that attend institutions of higher education are unaware that they are standing on the shoulders of those who came before and who literally shed blood, sweat and tears in order to overcome the barriers to higher education so that future Chicanos/Latinos could have the opportunity to attend institutions of higher education.
In my opinion the term Chicano is still alive and strong. In fact, there are now central and South Americans who identify as Chicana/o because they align with the politicalization of the term.
Unfortunately, this news piece missed a huge piece of historical information regarding the term Chicano and its political implications. As Sal Castro used to say, “It’s a beautiful day to be a Chicano”
Chicano, Mexican American, Hispanic is fine with me.
Juan José Peña would also say Indo-Hispano.
@@larranag that's probably better...at least a connection to the native american...and if your ancestry is from the Annexed-Mestizos then that too is derived from the American-Native-Indigenous (genzarios)
@@larranag indo-hispano also equates to chicano
Unpopular opinion but most of us dont really care what were called unless we are being bashed for it
I am an AMERICAN of MEXICAN descent. 🇺🇸🇲🇽
When I was in middle school I asked my classmate what the difference was bcuz I didn’t know. I thought they were all the same bcuz I’m not from the US. So the history and terminology is not something I had a good understanding of. It was a genuine question that I asked politely and then suddenly the teacher butt in and yelled at me saying it’s not the same thing. I felt rlly terrible and shocked, I was so confused and felt like I had offended someone so greatly. The history teacher didn’t even explain what the difference was. So since middle school I’ve always felt too scared to ask or clarify. In high school though I had a similar situation but my classmate was polite and simply answered the best they could. No one was offended just a respectful convo. Now I realize that my past history teacher just hated Asians, bcuz I would get bullied for my race in class in front of her all the time and she would say nothing. In fact she even allowed it bcuz I was always seated with the racist bullies.
Yeah. A LOT of them are very racist people. They expect everyone else to learn their culture, but then they dont learn the differences of Europeans or Asians. They literally think ALL Asians are Chinese lol! Their word for Asian person literally translates to "Chinese person". They're very hypocritical at times 🤡
4th Generation Chicano & Proud ✊🏽
Having someone go that far is rare for a Chicano.
No such thing man at that point your American
@@casper1374 there is such thing as a forth generation Chicano. As long as you have a Mexican or Chicano bloodline then you are considered as a Chicano regardless of generation. Remember Chicanos refuse assimilation meanwhile
Mexican Americans embrace it.
1st gen chicana 😍
@@casper1374 this made me giggle 🤭 😂
Chicano's at heart so NOT like being called anything But "Chicano"...
I like being called a mexican
New Mexicans aren’t Hispanic or Spanish. You’re Mexican. You’re Chicano. European Americans never saw New Mexicans as white. They saw us as half Indian so we aren’t the same. People need to educate themselves.
Except us TRUE Chicanos didn't cross the border the border crossed us. Mexicans south of the border and us Native Chicanos are not one of the same, same way an El Salvadorian and a Mexicano is not the same. Similar but that's it.
@@matthewj23 native chicanos? I suppose you watch a lot of fox news
@@swiggles4342 is a person from El Salvador the same as a person from Mexico?
@@matthewj23 doesn't that same logic apply to those who cross the border? NM was one Mexico, so in fact the border crossed them too. I mostly agree with your opinion, though, as my dad is a generational New Mexican Chicano and my mom is from Mexico. Similar but different. Chicano is a unique experience.
Bullshit. My family never ever claimed to be mexican or chicano. We've been in this state since the 1500s.
Hispanic or Latino is European.. I'm Chicano descendants of the Azteca Indians Xicano and MEXIKA I wouldn't never justify myself as white European!
That makes no sense most Mexicans are mestizo....you speak Spanish and have Spanish first and last names unless you are 100% native
You have a European name.
@@georgeskanderbeg3242 Many White Americans have African ancestry. I guess they aren’t white anymore. That’s your illogical logic there. The small European genetics doesn’t dominate the obvious dominant native genetics you see in the average Mexican. You don’t know how genetics work... lastly, about the name.... You could have a Chinese name, but you don’t magically become a Chinese man after. African Americans have English names, are they suddenly Anglo-Saxon Englishman?
@@tlamatini4617 😂😂😂 you got to be trolling right? Do you even know what mestizo means?? It's literally a mix of native and European . The average mestizo has anywhere from 30 to 65% European. Majority of 🇲🇽 are mestizo...followed by natives and then europeans
¡Que viva mi raza!
¡Que Viva!
I've never heard anyone talk about the enslavement and slaughter of the millions of Aztec and Mayan in Mexico, I'd like to know how people feel about that, and how they relate? I frequently hear about Americans and black slavery, but never anything South of the border, about the Spanish.
You have no idea wut your talking about. The English slaughtered people not the Spanish. Why do you think 90 percent of natives in the u.s are wiped out but in mexico everyone is brown and native. Alot of the tribes in Mexico worked with the Spanish against the cruelty of the aztecs. And spanish born mexicans fought spain for the independence
Spanish goal was to convert n mixed with the natives. The English just straight up killed everyone. Not saying they didn't do terrible things but not close to wut the English did here in America
@@randygonzalez1375 Ridiculous statements, do some research, the Spanish Conquistadors slaughtered and enslaved millions. It's common knowledge. "Why do you think they're brown...?" Hilarious. What color are Spaniards, purple? Also you lay all the blame for American slavery on the English, you give a pass to The Spanish, Portuguese and others? Who do think brought all the slaves from Africa to Belize, Mexico, Brazil et cetera?
@@kccodex8931 answer me this then. Why don't u hardly see indigenous people in the majority of the u.s. but wen u go to latin America native people everywhere or at least mixed. Think about it. If its true they wiped everyone out. It wud b like here. By no means are the spanish innocent im just saying they did not wipe out people but mixed and lived alongside em unlike here in the u.s. N also no European was solely responsible for slaves. Africans were sold by other Africans as punishment for crimes committed in their village. They didn't just go n start rounding everyone up lik people think.
“Blacks” are Americans(your sentence is just off key). The Aztec and Mayan ppl had seemingly conflict with Tarascan or Zapotec cultures(ppl just like them) and offered them up in sacrifice? That is a contentious legacy and I do not know how much is smear campaign and how much is true. I look at vids on these great cultures and realize their contributions to our world are HUGE and how some of them may have just not been totally wiped out but are now called another name. The ruthlessness of Aztec and Maya in sacrificing ppl who were not all giddy to be sacrificed does give you pause tho. Again, as depicted on vids on YT.
True Latinos 🇮🇹🇵🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷🇷🇴🇲🇩🌹
Brown and proud Chicano
I'm from Carlsbad New Mexico and I was always taught that Chicanos are Mexican people who are born in the US. And just to make it clear, I am Mexican
You mean...New Mexican
Chicano= mexican American 🥰🥰🥰 with pride
Chicano and proud to be an American.
Cheech and Chong was singing Mexican and American tho
I'm Chicano from California right on
🤮
Yo Soy Hispano/Chicano
Puro Chicano homies!!!!
My grandmother was native American people of Jalisco we are mestizo I'm Chicano too
Hispanic comes from the Roman name for the Spaniards. Hispanic=Hispanicus from Hispania (Spain)
Latino is technically Italian. It was used on our people because the language that was forced on us has its roots in the Latin language ex Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian.
Chicano is more deeper rooted to the indigenous side of our people. Chicano comes from Mexica (Mesheeca/Mecheeca) commonly known as the Aztecs. Which is also where Mexico got it's name. If your brown skin, you have strong indigenous blood and should not identify as a European label like Hispanic or Latin.
Well as long as you speak Spanish and have Spanish names you will always be considered Latino/Hispanic
@@georgeskanderbeg3242 with that ideology if a black American or Native American speaks English and has an English name, does that make them Anglo?
Listen JVM......I appreciate the break down man and it makes PERFECT sense to me as to the history and what it means to be Chicano now. I never really knew, but you nailed it! Makes sense to me man!
New mexicans are unique in that we never came from Mexico. We've been here always. From the spanish who came in the 1500s n mixed with the indigenous here. And alot of us are proud of our spanish blood along with our native. My grandpa was dark skinned but always said we were spanish.
@@randygonzalez1375
Any possibility grandpa wanted to just align with whiteness bc that was more palatable?
Im from the UK, can someone explain Latina, Hispanic, Chicano, Mestizo, Chola culture, and what your views are to Italian Americans and Brazilians, are they considered Latino by some definition? What about Guido culture is it similar to Chola. Sorry do not mean to be obnoxious or ignorant or offensive, we consume A LOT of american media here and we dont have that real life lived experience irl or exposure. I grew up with tv shows that perpetuate latino stereotypes and i do enjoy reggaeton etc. I think you are not a monolithic peoples, you are beautiful in both your indigenous and/ or european ancestries and blended cultures. Respect to all
Oh also, do you have affinity with native Americans, indigenous tribes and first nations peoples in Canada?
Number one it's LATIN in English and not Latino. Number two Italians are the number one Latins. Everything Latin, be it the Latin people , the Latin Language and the Latin Culture all comes from Roman ITaly. Latin was the language spoken by the Romans and their culture. In the Americas the Spanish speaking people have taken the term Latin American and made it Latino without knowing what Latin/Latino means and that you cannot take Latin American and make it Latin or Latino or Latina because being Latin means one thing and being Latin American means another. Italians number one Latins. The rest of the Latins: French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards.

Hm.. no, it doesn't......
Mexica is a region in Spain 🙄
You have Spanish first and last name 😂😂...you are Hispanic
@@mastermechanic7063 Mexica is a Nahuatl word. Stop the cap.
@@swiggles4342 Chicano is believed by some scholars to be a Spanish language derivative of an older Nahuatl word Mexitli ("Meh-shee-tlee").
I was told by my elders, that our Chicano heritage is of Spaniards and Native blood. My family is from NM, we have some crazy roots.
My grandpa's from Mexico he came here to San antonio and started the family what am I
American
Forgot chicas patas!
I use to say I was Mexican until I was insulted by a Mexican lady that I worked with she herd me speak perfect English and perfect Spanish and asked what was my nationality and my natural response soy Mexicana then she asked where were you born I said here which is the USA and then she rudly said you ain't Mexican if you weren't born in Mexico and so I said ok soy Americana that makes Mexican look good lol if you could have only seen her response considering both my parents are Mexican crazy to me that Mexican woman are so ignorant to their own just cause I was born in the US doesn't change my blood so now my response is soy Chicana y que
If one or both of your parents were born in Mexico you could easily get dual citizenship, it' cheap and not hard to do at all.
Yes, I've encountered that same situation with a co-worker who knew I was born here in the US, he said there's no way I could call myself mexican, he wanted to bully me without knowing what the mexican constitution says in regards to dual citizenship, I just gave him some homework to do for his own good and that was it.
@@elpiedron3889 interesting - one of my Mexican artist colleagues I've heard bitterly complain about how he's discriminated against in the art world by Chicano artists and arts Chicano Arts funding organizations, telling me that it's because he is a Mexican, US resident alien, tells me they don't want his work to be supported, as though he's somehow gaming their system, that he should get all his support from Mexico, where he is also supported - he's pretty successful, holds a college teaching position, but tells me that Chicano discrimination is worse than what he experiences from Anglos
@@dogstar8871
There's always two sides to a story and discrimination goes both ways, what's your point?
@@elpiedron3889 it's an anecdotal contribution to this thread - it's not just 'both ways', discrimination goes every which way - have traveled the world over and seen it everywhere - but some think it's unique to them
@@dogstar8871
Your confirmation bias is showing. In order to confirm what your colleague says is true, you need to know the whole story, not just your colleague's side. That's why I asked you, what's your point? and also why I previously said, there are two sides to a story.
Who said anything about discrimination being unique to us?
When I said it goes both ways, it was in reference to our discussion Chicanos and Mexicans, not the whole world.
De cualquier manera, gracias por compartir tal anecdota.
She said listen to us. Pues I’m listening pero I’m still confused
Here in New Mexico most of us refer to ourself as Chicano or Chicana but most of us are not of Mexican decent and we don't consider Mexicans as a Chicano, we see them as just that Mexican. When describing someone we say hes Chicano or hes a Mexican. to us there is a difference. We not be politically correct but thats just the way we where raised.
And we never use the word Latino to describe someone or ourselves. To me when I hear the word Latino or Latina I think its a term used on the east coast, to describe a puerto rican, Dominican, and Cube.
Right on point. I was born and raised in LA but my family originated in Las Cruces, NM and I’ve always made it point to describe myself as Chicano. Its important to differentiate between us and Mexicans. They’re a good people and have some similarities but are a completely different culture.
I agree with you on the Latino term too. I’ve always felt it describes PRs, Cubans, Dominicans etc more. Even though we technically are Latino. I’m guessing they tend to use the word more because they don’t have a term like Chicano to identify American born/assimilated people from those countries?
I still have no clue bro I just say Mexican American
@@drewski818 Latinos are from Europe. Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, and Romania. Hispanics are from Hispania Spain. Terms were misused/coined by the Anglo Richard Nixon administration during the 1970s.
Wats the difference please explain
What you call white with Honduras ?
Chicano por vida amo mi raza
Latino just doesn’t mean Latin American.
Latino Americano = Latin American
Latino Europeo = Latin European
The key word here is Latin which are Portuguese, Romanian, Spain, Italy France. People that that descend from these countries in the new world are Latino Americano. Hispanics are people from Spain. Hispania was a province in the Roman Empire which today is Portugal and Spain but Spain claimed the name Hispania as their country. Latin -> Hispania, Spanish-> Espania, English-> Spain. Latin America is whole mix of people from different ethnicities from Latin ancestry to native Americans to mestizo not everyone is Latin.
@@rogerroger2986 Yes all Romance languages derived from Vulgar Latin, which was the dialect of the peasants and lower class. Spanish and Italian are similar languages in fact many Spanish and Italians can understand each other speaking in their own languages. Latins are not extinct, Latins came from a region in Italy called Latium which today is called Lazio and the capital is Rome, these people are true Latin. The English language is heavily mixed by old French (which derives from Vulgar Latin) Norse, Saxon German, Friesian and Classical Latin, though Classical Latin is mainly used in academic language. Maybe because English is heavily mixed it is not viewed as a Romance language
I know growing up all over the Western side of the US, my ok man's father always told him "Somos Chicano's " that's where it ends and that's where it stays. To this day, he has Chicano everywhere, from clothing and hats to tattoos.
@@michellegraf2585 This Mexican woman tells the truth
type in RUclips " We are not Hispanic and not Latino-THIS IS WHY----Mexican Excellence"
Exactly!
Yes, you are correct, however the goverment in the U.S.A has use it to refer anyone south of Rio Grande
IMO Chicano is used more tours the south west of the nation. Maybe because there’s a greater population of Mexican it’s their was to set their self apart. I’m the Midwest the term it’s not use. Mexican is more used because our heritage and roots are there. You can’t be Chicano and not be Mexicano at heart they go hand in hand. What Chicano culture with our Mexican culture? Would it be American culture. Their food? Language ? It’s just a term self appointed. Being a border kids I never seen a difference. Only when it come to pochos.
Chicano is heavily used in California and not so much in Texas. I am form Monterrey NL and could not fit in California

Racial nationalism in the SW
The indigenous past is a very overly misused phrase. As the white Europeans from Spain and Portugal came to America there was already a very small population of indigenous peoples as compared to even the 14th century. Very quickly the European population passed and then vastly outnumbered the indigenous peoples, even by the late the 1500’s. To the point that by the mid 1600’s there was less then 10% of the entire Latin American geography’s population was indigenous, or even could trace roots back to indigenous. That gap only spread further as other peoples, from other European and African nations spread into the population. What some people attempt to do is distance themselves from there Caucasian past as it becomes less popular to claim that culture here.
Others claim indigenous if there family is traced back to Pre-British, overlooking the fact that even at that time the indigenous population was very, very small.
For example, my neighbor claims native Mexican ancestry even though all of his ancestors came to America from Spain, all very Caucasian. He states his family has been in America since 1580’s and they only married from within Spanish settlements.
In short, there are still indigenous peoples, though they make a very small percentage of

There were pale natives before the Europeans came.
If you grew up in 'the hood" in Southern California, more than likely, even if you oppose it, you will identify in some instances as, Chicano. But, if you are from other West Southern States, you have more freedom to say other things 😉

As a Hispano I will say we didn't cross the border the border crossed us. I'm predominantly Spanish and Native American with no family south of the border, my ancestry roots to Northern NM USA whereas the term Chicano a lot of Mexicanos are adopting that term and we are not one of the same because they have roots that lead to old Mexico, we are similar but not identical. Us Hispanos are the FIRST and true ORIGINAL Americans on US soil PERIOD. An El Salvadorian is not the same as a Mexican from old Mexico and a Mexican from old Mexico is not the same as Hispano Chicano. I can enroll in a tribe wheras they cannot. We did not have to apply for citizenship wheras they do. We wave the American flag they wave the Mexican flag. We are still just as authentic food wise and who we are racially but we are not clones of one another. The REAL Chicanos didn't cross the border they are indegenious to USA soil not old Mexico which is located south of the border. Us Hispanos are the TRUE descendants of Native Americans not Anglo, not Black or anyone else.
You must be from new mexico cuz I feel the same way you do about the term Chicano. Most people here in New Mexico consider ourselves Chicano with no Mexican blood in us what so ever. To be a Chicano and to be a Mexican is to totally different thing to us. I've never really seen a Mexican refer to themselves as Chicano they are either Mexicans or Mexican- Americans

It is sad that people need validation of their own skin by labeling themselves. For the ignorant; 1 to 0% of people in the America's do not speak latin. Latins was a dilect spoken by multiple groups in Europe when the Roman empire existed. (No more empire no more language) latin is a dead language only excised in the Roman catholic church by high monarcs. It is funny that in the America's when one calls another Indio people often take it as offensive and demeaning. But this is been ingrained in the people since the conquest. Meztiso "spanish/indians" were labeled as cholos "that was offensive"! Meaning of cholo was a term used to humiliate meztisos simply stating that they were not pure bread spanish. Many meztisos that inherited lighter complexion and colored eyed began to deny there indigenous roots in order to have a better social economical status among the spainsh. This mentality still exist today in the America's yet people don't understand the significance of the mental turmoil that it has created. I will never understand the need for labels which are meaningless and worthless to those who see us as less and or inferior. Education is enriching to the soul. But if labels is what people seek then stay with useless idiologies that only keep us devided. We are one people. Unity equals strength. And who cares as long as your successful and progressing as a people.
Si son chicanos pero su ascendencia mexicana a sido latina 😕
Yo soy un Tejano
Hispanic had ancestors that had conquered Azteca Mexico but also had made children with them believe it or not so I’m spaniard Aztec Mexican type stuff but either go by Chicano or Hispanic viva la raza ✊🏽
Its frustrating when someone who barely speaks spanish calls himself mexican, youre not like us just because your skin is brown
Is more frustrating when someone who doesn't speak an original native language of Mexico and only speaks Spaniard calls themself Mexican. So would that make you not Mexican either?
Mexicans existed at the time that the Spanish began to have children with the indigenous people of the country, Mexicans are a mixture of pre-Hispanic cultures with Spanish cultures, those who do not speak Spanish in Mexico would be called descendants of Aztecs, Mixtecs, etc. On the other hand, the pochos or Latinos are only diluted versions of us true Mexicans.
@@juansilva5371 a true Mexican is an indigenous person who has majority native ancestry to Mexico, identifies as native, and follows the native culture. Other than that, all the Spaniard loving pale skins are as native as whites in the US. Pale skin, Hispanic identifying, Latino identifying are just colonizers who overstayed their welcome. If you don't speak nahuatl, Mixtec, etc and only speak Spanish then you're not a true Mexican. Just cause you might be brown like them, your just a tanned Spaniard living in Mexico 🤷♂️
@@kuetlachtli619 lol a pale-skinned woman with green eyes is more Mexican than those people in the video, no matter how much tequila they drink or how many paintings of frida khalo they have they can't even formulate a sentence in spanish, it seems to me that you hate the whiteness that exists in mexico derived from colonization
@@kuetlachtli619 Mexicans are mestizo Indians with their own Spanish language, if you identify yourself as Mexican you have to speak Mexican Spanish, which is that of the current country. But if you identify as indigenous, you have to speak an indigenous Nahuatl or Mayan language. But don't talk to Mexicans about their culture and their language because they live in Mexico and fight for it in Mexico. they are not Chicano crybabies who don't fit into American society. Call yourself Amerindian and that's it. modern mexicans speak spanish
When in an application someone one asks, we say Latino or Hispanic. Then, underneath they ask of what origin and the closest is 'white'. I say, well, heck, I guess I am "white" since there's no brown on the list!
Chicano sound hilarious
I’m Mexican mestizo here here in the USA 🇺🇸 I’m Hispanic.my brothers identity as Mexican never Chicano or Mexican American.
@Carl Sil Hispanic isn't a term created by your government they just wrongly use the term due to not understanding the meaning. Hispanic is a Latin word for Spanish, Hispanics come from the Roman Province of Hispania which today is Spain.

In the Americas Spanish can be a language or a nationality, in Spain it's just a nationality. Spanish speakers in the Americas don't call their language Castilian. Like you said Hispanic is latin word for Spanish, in the Americas meaning the language and nationality in Spain.
@@elpiedron3889 Hispanic is plural for Hispania which means Spain. Spanish people come from Spain just as English people come from England. I can accept that many people in South America maybe Spanish due ancestry from Spain just like you have Italian Americans but many people in Mexico and Central America are not Hispanic or Latino they are Amerindian.
@@cosimodemedici1530
I was not implying that you are wrong, as a matter of fact I agree on what you're saying, but in the Americas, Spanish can be their language or someone from Spain, that's the way it is for them.
@@elpiedron3889 Yes and it's wrong to do that.
As a carbon bond I identify as woke trash🧢🥱
