Ask a Mexican
As a Mexican (mas o menos, un media), I’ve always been fascinated by those both scared and curious about traditional Mexican, Hispanic and Chicano behavior. Like, Why do Mexicans sell oranges on the freeway and:
Dear Mexican,
Why do Mexicans have so many babies?
The answer is here. And the rest of the questions and answers are equally entertaining, especially for those of you who have grown up or spent time in the great state of California. It’s truthful, it’s frank and it’s funny. Gustavo Arellano writes this for the weekly Orange County, CA paper; OC Weekly. Think the Willamette Week, The Stranger, etc.
Fear of the "other" can only be mitigated by dialog and discussion. This is a good starting point.
