That still doesnt change the fact that mexicans and mexican culture are the main ones that represent Latino/hispanics. I have been to Florida and even though we are not a majority there, they know who are mexicans, they know about our tacos, burritos, aztecs, mayans, cancun and know where mexico is located. Even hillbillies know who mexicans are, mexican history is taught in the USA, our 5 de mayo are celebrated even by whites and blacks. I dont know what other hispanic celebration is celebrated here in the USA. In fact, even other latinos have complain about the ignorence here in the USA when it comes to hispanic culture and how they associate everything with mexican culture. They have tried to deport puerto ricans to Mexico because they believed Puerto Rico was a state in Mexico, or the other one who got deported to Mexico because the immigration officers thought puerto ricans were from mexico.

Mariachi music does not sound like circus music, that would be Banda, Mariachi is popular in Latin America and even asians love singing it.

Mariachi

Banda

Mariachi is respected in Latin America

Greeting Batman

I am sorry to bust your bubble again, most of the schools in the East Coast or probably elsewhere in the country hardly teach ancient aztec or mayan history, therefore i don't know where you coming from with that none sense. Unless you are taking a coarse in College, or watching the history of discovery channel, other than that people don't care. Also, I had never heard of Cinco de mayo, until i moved in Los Angeles, nor have i heard of the Afram holiday Juneteeth therefore in places like New York, and other East Coast cities Mexicans is pretty much irrelevant with the only expection is the immigration issues. Needless to say, the Puerto Ricans do have a parade every june, and the music is alive and kicking unlike your Mariachi.

P.S.

I did watch some of the videos

and the music still sound like circus music to me again No offense!

Hasta la vista amigo

NYC demographics of hispanics

Mexicans are the 3rd largest hispanic group in NYC.

Again, the key word here is Third, therefore Puerto Ricans still dominant the political scene in New York, again your statement here is irrelevant.

Try again from the next thread Friend.

Peace.
