They are looking for a free ticket. 70% of this town is Mexican. They get free food at school and free food from the grocery, and yet they all drive nice new cars and trucks. Go figure. Welcome to America

If you are born here you are just an American. Your parents who came here from Mexico may be Mexican Americans.
But your not. If your born in Australia your Australian no questions asked. Why is it that people who were born here say I am Mexican American or African American? That is just plain crazy. This girl I went to school with was born in USA and was as American as Apple pie. Insisted that she was a African American. That is so crazy. No other country does that.

Fair question - I say that about all minority groups. We are all Americans. So a person from Mexico who now becomes an American citizen is called what? A Mexican-American right? Not quite the same as a person who was born here. I agree completely.

It is a liberal way of making a issue out of nothing. It is a political correct means of making you to think you are in need of their help, by having you believe you are a minority. When in fact you are not. You ARE an American. But with Mexican heritage. But liberals need a means to be needed and by labeling you in that term is what makes a means for them to even exist. If everyone thought the way you do we wouldn't have the problem in our society. Because everyone born in America is an American. Liberals' need a form of racism to make them important, so they turn ethnic into a racist means to exist. LIBERALS GENERATE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THEIR STATED INTENT. A Quote from Quinn. Which I found to be a true fact as I grew older in life.

It's PC. Like African American, Irish American, Italian American. It makes people feel like where their ancestors are from is more important then the lives they live today and the country they were born in. I am born American with origins from Poland, Russia, Czechoslovakia, and Austria. But first and foremost, I am American.

It does get silly-- maybe people would get the point if all Caucasians in the US started saying they were Euro-American, or Ausso-American.....
Or the ones with mixed backgrounds could get really creative:
Euro-Native-Asian American
Ausso-Germanic-Slavic American......

Eh..I think you see that with a lot of people. Next weekend go check out all of the "IRISH" people for St. Patrick's day. You know..because their Great-Great-Great-Great-Uncle came here from Ireland 150 years ago...that must make them Irish!

Guess what anyone born between Canada and Chile can call themselves an AMERICA.
YOU WERE BORN IN THE UNITED STATES.
There is no country called AMERICA.
