Why have Florida Hispanics maintained their traditions much more than California and Texas Hispanics

[RMuller]

Cuban Americans probably maintain some of food and music culture but they seem to be proud Americans.

Are you saying Mexican-Americans are NOT proud Americans? Guess who have excelled in the American military by winning MORE congressional medals of honor per capita during WWR2 THAN ANY OTHER ETHNICITY and the most decorated units and produced some of the greatest military men.

Perikolez posted this on another thread .He is from Spain and has an idea whats going on in the USA.

Estados Unidos es un país angloparlante, y el castellano no deja de ser un idioma de inmigrantes allí, y encima pobres. En el suroeste de los EEUU si que había un población hispanoparlante, pero lo tejanos o los nuevomexicanos se anglicizaron durante el siglo XX, y ahora la gran mayoría de los hispanos descendientes de los antiguos pobladores del suroeste de los EEUU son monolingues en ingles. Además tampoco veo a los descendientes de inmigrantes mexicanos alla muy fieles linguisticamente. La mayoría de los nietos de inmigrantes mexicanos parecen saber tanto castellano como un blanco estadounidense promedio.

No. One has to be American. Their heritage becomes American. Your claim is silly.

Im Mexican-American,my profile says it.

Mexican-American congressman Edward Roybal's family were part of the familes that founded Santa Fe,New Mexico in 1598.
Very few white Americans 50 years ago considered him "American".



You have Americans like Smeagal etc that's says Latinos,blacks,Natives,Asians
etc can never be Americans. Millions of white Americans agree with him. Im not saying the majority but their is millions.

I think is time for those called "Mexican Americans" be just Americans. In Brazil, everyones Brazilians. No one here go around saying "im italian, im german". Have u seen Gisele Bundchen saying shes German? No, she only claims to be Brazilian.
