Also, fun fact: there are many Chicano people who are in the US, not because they moved, but because the border moved. What used to be Mexico is now Texas (at least part of it).

There are many different identifying terms -- Latino, Hispanic, Mexican, etc. You could make a very big Venn diagram with them. But people in my family tend to say Chicano/Chicana.

Not every mixed person speaks Spanish. Not every mixed person has an accent. Not every mixed person participates in Mexican traditions/ceremonies/holidays/etc. It was a bigger part of my youth, but I've kind of "shed" it now and I'm more globalized/generic American so some people might say I'm whitewashed or something. But what, am I supposed to be a walking stereotype/ambassador/cultural sampler platter in order to have the heritage that I have?
