Then you're.....Mexican?

From my experience, the "pretend" Mexican is the white person who knows "MI Vida Loca" word for word and ends every sentence with the word "whey" while speaking in a generic, un authentic Mexican accent. Yes, they exist.

My kids are half Mexican, are fluent in both Mexican and English, and can go full Speedy Gonzalez if need be to keep up in conversations. Not once have they ever acted full Barrio to impress anybody.

Does it make them Pretend Mexican? I don't think so.

Isn't your kids mother from someplace other than Mexico?

I ain't going to say where out loud, but you know....

It wasn't long ago. It's happened to me.
Bullshit.

It wasn't long ago. It's happened to me.

It happened to my kid. She was constantly called Pocahontas by kids because she looks brown with long black hair.

WTF do you know about it? You racist fucking fucks decide what we are and tell us what we are and then tell us we're also fake and pretend.

This is a profoundly sick society. End of...

Cool story. Let me guess. The kids calling your kid Pocahontas were all named Chad and Tad and Jennifer and their families lived on the rich side of town and were members of the exclusive all-white country club ... and Jennifer played tennis. Amirite?

Waste, Fraud and Abuse.
It was a joke that I'm sure Flea took as a joke.

Flea wears Nikes and I'm sure most "mexicans" from Mexico just draw the swoosh on the sides of their feet with dirt. It happens.

"Pretend" Mexicans are white girls like my ex who would go into mcdonalds and speak broken Spanish to the brazier taking the order when the guy's name was Thomas. Not even Pedro or Jesus.

She liked being called "mamacita", too. That was worth a blow job in the car while I ate all the fries....
Fun fact, not all citizens of Mexico are starving campesinos

But to answer your question, yes. From what I remember by BM's father was Indian or hindu or something but to be honest with you I only met the guy maybe two times the entire time I was with her while her mothers side of the fam was always around and love the kids dearly.

Family is sincerely a big deal in the Mexican community and I did see that first hand. I have nothing but respect for them and their mother in that regard.

As you get older, wiser, and sober, you get past all the trivial things life threw at you when you were stupid and accept things for how they are. I couldn't have asked for a better baby momma and admit it must have been hard on her to let somebody such as myself who is just so fucking perfect go.

My two oldest are successful at levels I could have never reached. And as much as I want to take full credit, I can't.

It has to be the Mexican in them, and not the mexicant.

Aren’t you the hipster clever one, fuck streaming you should be on The Five!
Streaming is the wave of the future and will soon be bigger then corporate agenda fueled rhetoric mainstream channels if it isn't already.

Some streamer says something stupid its all over social media in seconds. If some corporate shill does the same thing, nobody cares.

I'm American with Mexican heritage. I speak Spanish fairly fluently, though it's not perfect. I don't speak Spanish as much since my partner is Spanish impaired.

I don't think your kids are "pretend Mexican" at all. To me their bicultural and they sound bilingual. If you, their mom or they called themselves Mexican, I would respect that.

Other people don't get to impose what their identity is, they get to choose since they're influenced by two cultures.

Yes, they were surrounded by kids that were of many different ethnicities. It wasn't the brown kids calling her Pocahontas, mama huevos.

So I get to chose between the roughly 15 ethnicities my family know of despite all of us being born in the same Western nation?

Cool beaners!

You are so fucked.

Do you speak any of those languages, read in them, celebrate their traditions?

I'm guessing you live a generic "white guy" life.

There seriously has to be good Mexican food in Chicago though.
That depends.

If your talking upscale it's not authentic Mexican food. Kind of the same way a decade ago the most authentic Mexican chef was a white guy with weird looking facial hair. At the price it ain't worth it.

Considering I have a little Mexico pass on account of my kids you have to go deep in there to get the best of the best. Sure, you order your food then ten minutes later a bag is handed to you threw a drape from a hole in the wall, but the foods legit. And cheap.

Not even Rick Bayless' restaurant? He actually travelled through Mexico for several years to learn to cook authentic Mexican.

We used to only have hole in the wall good Mexican, but we have several upscale places now that are authentic.

How is that racist?

Where am I saying that my race/ethnicity is superior to yours?

You just lumped my roughly 15 traceable ethnicities into the underneath of one white umbrella and disparaged me and those cultural/genealogical facets without knowing what I celebrate, hold solemn, and dear.

And you yourself said that Martini's kids can self identify as whatever they want and you can respect that... (but only because they're part brown).

You're a big fat bigot sow.

RICK BAYLESS!!!!!

That's the fucking guy!! No, I don't think his cooking is authentic. I remember watching that guy with her fam and all they talked about was how his goatee was uneven and they were micromanaging ingredients while shaking their heads. Now their cooking was exquisite so I'm only going off that. Plus, they would always make me a pussified plate that wasn't going to turn my mouth and asshole into firey grenade launchers so I respect their game.
