Why do illegal mexicans want to speak Spanish? Do they know that they are mostly INDIAN; and not SPANISH?

Question

what I am saying is this:

Most mexicans have little or no spanish blood at all. They are mostly amerindian, NOT SPANISH. Why do they even see themselves as advocates for the spanish language.

Answer 1

I thought this was going to be a "why do illegal mexicans want to speak Spanish.. when they're living in America?" question but it wasn't...

I don't really understand your question.. Why would mexicans not want to speak Spanish? People who grew up in Mexico speak Spanish, those who grew up in the U.S. speak English, Russians speak Russian, Germans speak German, etc. Who cares if they're "mostly Indian" (what does that mean and is it even true?)

Answer 2

Mainly because Spanish is the official national language of Mexico. and has been since Spain conquered Mexico and made it a colony.i.e. (possession of Spain ruled by Spain with Spanish laws and the Spanish language enforced on the population)

Answer 3

this is why God reported to no longer persist with geneology, which in ordinary terms finally ends up in vacancy and ineffective deceit because of the fact it somewhat is a pretend meter, some human beings could think of they do no longer seem to be solid sufficient and others could sense overvalued for no reason-this is likewise a pretend meter because of the fact they do no longer look in an effort to realize their means having their valuable potential blocked by employing all that detest/damaging potential. Christ exchange into born contained in the humblest way-in an outdoors animal good. he set himself to have the means to locate with the humblest, yet he's the ultimate. he's close to to the person-friendly-or-backyard and seems on the proud from afar. "the 1st would be final". whilst ppl positioned you down, have a closer communicate with the almighty. He knows. Humility comes in the previous greatness. So be chuffed!

Answer 4

Dear Sam, you seems to be the kind of US person, who think that New Mexico and Texas still belongs Mexico...

The official language in México is Spanish!

QUESTION IS DO "YOU" KNOW ANYTHING A PART FROM HOLLYWOOD?

The issues of interpretation or the meaning making process, and representation, the public perception of that meaning, are quite challenging, more so in national institutions such as the Smithsonian. Some of the most fundamental questions that have been discussed in the Latino Graduate Training Seminar for the last 7 years, wrestle with issues of identity and representation. Who are we as Latinos portrayed in museums? Who are we, in the museums, or in academia to decide or “define” that? How can we be best advocates for inclusion when our stories are ignored? What are the many messages imbedded in cultural materials? How can we best record/register cultural practices? And who and how are they going to be de-codified? What are the stories that objects, images, people care about? Which ones should we place in museums?

All these questions and many more are the driving energy in analyzing objects, images, documents, performances, and music. They ultimately affect how we conceive exhibitions, programs, and plan for collections acquisition.

All these questions are underlying the presentations and discussions of this conference.

Numbering 40 million (including the 3.8 million residents of Puerto Rico), Hispanics and Latinos comprise the largest minority population in the United States. This country’s U.S. Hispanic heritage is centuries old, predating the arrival of other immigrants by many years. Indeed, colonies of Spanish and American Indians have been traced back to the early 1500s.

Across the nation, however, the diversity of the Latino experience in North America—when it is portrayed at all—most often reflects a romantic notion of imported folk culture. The mix of U.S. Latino contributions from past generations and contemporary Latino culture is rarely explained within museums and educational programs. In addition, there are relatively few opportunities for Latino scholars and professionals at museums to exchange information and work collectively to produce new, exciting exhibitions and programs that dig deep into historic collections and revive a sense of a profound, ever-changing heritage.

As U.S. Hispanics and Latinos grow in numbers and significance, it is increasingly important for the nation to know and understand what Hispanics and Latinos have contributed to the United States for more than 400 years and what Hispanics and Latinos contribute to U.S. culture and society today. The challenge for scholars, including those at the Smithsonian Institution, is to advance knowledge and understanding of Hispanics and Latinos within the United States.
