@maindush it dont matter wut side on the line we are on we are all mexicanos !!!! we didn't cross the line it crossed us ....i am from Michigan and people ask me wut i am and i say American then they say well were are ur people from and i say Texas ...my parents are tejanos and my grand parents are Mexicans ....but they are just words ,labels it wuts inside us that makes us who we are .......

@maindush -The same reason you say your first language is Spanish and not Aztec or Mayan. Mexicans and Tejanos have the same background only the Mexicans are influenced by Spaniards and the Tejanos by the Anglos. Mexicano Pendejo!

@maindush Then why do Mexicans play Metallica, Van Halen, Robert Johnson, etc.? Is there a law against playing music from another country? I just mentioned three U.S. artists who I have personally scene Mexcian recording artists perform (Rodrigo Y Gabriela). Look, I LOVE Mexicans and Mexico, all TEJANOS do. We are just proud of our own heritage in Texas. I understand the hurt Mexicans have against our Tejano story, but it is what it is...

@afsRocklinDad Then Why he plays La bamba and other Mexicans songs? Or Why he sings in spanish if his first language is English? HAhahahaha poor guys, dont even know what you guys are!! Well That is the end, I wont comment anymore. Pinche pochito!!

@maindush Why should he admit to being Mexican when he is 100% TEJANO? Do you know where the LONGORIAS, GEURREROS, SEGUINS, LOPEZ and all other early Tejano families come from? I do... TEXAS, stupid. These families all have DEEP ties back to the early Spanish Settlers and Colonial Mexican families who inhabited TEXAS. Tejanos fought at the Alamo and the Siege of Bexar to protect their lands from the invading MEXICANS. Get your facts straight. A la batalla Tejanos! Ajuua! Viva Tejas!

@maindush so to be an american you have to a face that looks american? or sound american? what the heck does dat even mean? seems like your americanism is very ignorant and uneducated. go to school! being an american is not race moron, its just a nationality. ur gonna tell me native americans are not americans? wait ... based on your level of intelligence im guessing u do. ushhh im so allergic to stupidity.

@maindush HE DIDN'T DENY HIS MEXICAN ROOTS HE SAID HE IS AMERICAN....WHICH IS TRUE IF YOU ARE BORN IN THE UNITED STATES YOUR NATIONALITY IS AMERICAN...THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT ACCENTS IN THE UNITED STATES.....NEW ENGLISH ACCENT, MIDWESTERN ACCENT, SOUTHERN ACCENT ETC.....CHICANOS HAVE THEIR OWN ACCENTS AS WELL......CHICANOS SPEAK A LITTLE DIFFERENT COMPARED TO CHICANOS FROM NEW MEXICO OR CALIFAS AND ACCENTS DON'T DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A PERSON IS FROM HERE OR NOT .....UR JUST IGNORANT, ITS OK

[maindush]

[maindush]
