Partially a function of how close you live to the border or to a hispanic

community

How many generations do you have to go through before you are considered

to be just an American??

I agree

with Lupe. From my perspective, Barbara’s

message generated more questions than answers on the topic. What exactly is the research question

she is trying to answer through the health survey re: how people define their

origin. Please provide more

information so that we can understand what is happening in Michigan with the

perception of Mexican migrants.

Thank you. :-)

I

have been trying to ignore this message, but I feel I must reply. Just exactly

what is wrong with being thought of as a " Mexican migrant " ,? and

by the way, last time I checked Mexican's were still considered Hispanics.

Barbara Cote' @ (616)393-5775

Persons from Latin America in our county in Michigan have said that they

prefer to be called Latino rather than Hispanic as they like to be

discrimated from Mexican migrants. We asked the question of what they

consider themselves ( " Hispanic " or " Mexican American "

or " Mexican " ) on our

health survey, but we are tabulating those replies now.

Thank you Pedro. For all of us here one generation or many have an ethnic heritage that we need to honor and keep alive, that is our individual responsibility. But to label Irish, Polish, Mexican etc. American to me still divides us and promotes racism. We are all Americans, we all came to this country for what this country can offer that no other one on earth does, opportunity to live to our potential. We would not be having this discussion in England, Japan, Ireland, Brazil, Mexico. etc.

Namaste,

i agree that we have heritages that we need to honor and keep alive but i disagree that we would not be having this discussion elsewhere. in england where many have come from the Caribbean or southern mexico where there is an inmigration of folks from central america, japan with the korean and the german immigrants (on many generations) in brazil this is also a continuing question. identity and migration (forced or voluntary) create conflict (interpersonal and internal) and dissonance the world over.

it's funny that we feel like resisting this conversation, but it is worldwide:

consider Chinese Malaysians, the migrant streams into Germany, white South

Africans, Jews anywhere but Israel, Gypsies, the different ethnic groups

in the balkans and their displacement; I think it all starts when anyone

of us objectively identifies him/herself. At least that's my

sad opinion. Don't the French (and French Canadians) say "Vive La

Difference?"
