Mexican Immigration and the Future of Race in America

In the recently published Mongrels, Bastards, Orphans, and Vagabonds, Gregory Rodriguez takes an in-depth look at the largest immigrant group in American history. Rodriguez examines the complexities of the heritage and the racial and cultural synthesis -- mestizaje -- that has defined the Mexican people since the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century. Vis-a-vis the present era of Mexican American confidence, Rodriguez argues that the rapidly expanding Mexican American integration in to the mainstream is changing not only how Americans think about race but how we envision our nation.

I'm Mexican and my lastname is Montelongo and that is an Italian last name so I really do think that Native Anerican/European is the perfect racial identity for the vast majority of us.

Settle down now theres no need for all the screaming and whinning. Look the Mexican thing is a good thing for Anglos let me tell you why. When one of your daughters has a child with a Mexican theres a big chance the kid will look just like you do. If the Mexicans were not here then it would Negroes impregnating your daughters and that is just awful to know
