      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: Where did the notion of adding an -o to the end of an English word and assuming it makes it a Spanish word come from?

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: Why is it that people from Chihuahua and Monterrey are such jackasses? They come from pinches ranchitos and talk about their haciendas, they cross the border and act as if their cagada does not stink. Why do pinches chihuahuenses act as if they are better than us American citizens? The...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: Although I'm familiar with your column, I don't read it regularly. But today, I was struck by something you said in a recent column about how Mexicans can make Americans like Mexicans. So I quote: "We called ourselves Spanish, we considered ourselves white." I'm Mexican, and I consider...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: I have always liked ranchera music. As of late, I have wanted to get deeper into it as far as the history, the culture and especially the songs and lyrics. The older I get, the more rancheras seem like poetry to me. Sounds cursi, I know. So what I was wondering is if you know a good bo...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: What do we need to do to make the g&uuml;eros understand we come in peace? As Mexicans, we are from this great American continent as well, but in the average close-minded English-speaking folks' definition of "American," it's amusing to see they don't understand what it really means, a...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: We're in state testing this week at the high school I teach at. After the students finish a section, they can only sit and read or just sit. I did an experiment: I chose the cholo-est, tatted, pierced, non-reader and dropped your book on their desk. Students that never read, read for 4...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: Please explain to me why so many mexicanas seem to think it more important to stay home and baby-sit than to attend school (so that they may become more in life than producers of offspring). As an educator (lately of students identified as "at risk" for failure in high school), I have...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: About six years ago, my wife and I adopted a little baby boy. He is "pure" mestizo and we are complete wabs. I'm a little dark because of my mixed Arab heritage, but my wife is a major league blanca. He is a sweet little gabacho growing up in wab world. I don't mind getting the looks w...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: I'm living in Mexico part of the year. I'm learning Spanish but can't say I understand or speak well. I read several books about the history of Mexico and think I'm reasonably well-informed. I'm curious about a phrase on a t-shirt in an expensive shop in Puerto Vallarta. It had interes...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: I would be most interested in hearing your point of view regarding our raza always voting for someone with a Latino last name, without even considering if the vato/vata is qualified for a particular office. Often I hear comments like, "If he is Latino it makes up for all the years of i...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: You mentioned in the past that your Dad is against illegal immigration, but that's a voice you never hear. Why aren't the legal immigrants and legal aliens "vocally outraged" about the illegals who drive down wages, drive up housing prices, use government services, give all immigrants...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dear Mexican: In the past, you have defended illegal immigrants by arguing that they (paraphrasing one of your previous columns) will do the jobs gabachos won't do for the same wages. I agree. I have a white-collar job, so I'm totally content to benefit from the low prices brought about by an uneduc...]]></description>

This freed my mother to tell me (stepdad always forbade it) that the man I thought was my biological father all this time was not. The man who IS my biological father is Mexican ... i.e. both of his parents were Mexican. He was married...]]></description>
