My brother and many of my family members are under the impression that I am, but I beg to differ. I mean, isn't it an annnoying word? Especially with the negative connontations assoicated with the word.

No, my wife hates that too. She says it is indicative of lower class hispanic america.
See, I hate being called Anglo or Caucasian.
If you look those words up in a dictionary, I'm neither. actually a caucasian is a "politician".
An Anglo is a nordic tribe Neadrathal Viking kinda savage.
Now with chicana/chicano, my wife can give you the low down on that one. I'm not certain of its origin or specific meaning but she has assured me in the past that it is a term widely considered ridicule amoung the upper class of hispanic americans, It's like calling a white person trailer trash.
She says that if you drive by the house and there is no grass in the front yard, only dirt and childrens toys, those are chicanos

I didn't know there were any "negative connontations" to that term! Maybe you can email your source to me? Thanks.
