[quote=spdrun][quote=CA renter]I’ve had Mexican-American friends tell me that the Mexicans were going to “take back” their territory in a bloodless war, simply by out-populating the white Americans. [/quote]
Think about what you’re saying.
Real question is, so what if they do and the US west ends up majority Mexican/Latino? How does that affect you? I don’t think that anyone is seriously proposing that Upper California should rejoin Mexico — most immigrants come here to escape bad political conditions down there.
Also, intermarriage tends to be more common among children of Latino immigrants, so we might end up with a “Californian” identity rather than a “Mexican” one in 100 years.
In short, who cares, unless you have some outdated notions of ethnic purity?
And this is an AWESOME trend. One out of five Californians now marries outside their race… http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/interracial-marriages-u-s-hit-all-time-high-4-8-million-article-1.1023643%5B/quote%5D
I have never understood this argument. California was part of Mexico which was a Spanish colony, and was only part of an independent Mexico for about forty years. Interestingly, DNA shows indigenous peoples on the north American continent came from the same place as Europeans. The Asian migration and subsequent influence came later. We all much more related that we realize.
