What exactly is the Mexican Culture they are talking about?

Is it going to Yosemite in caravans of six families and cranking up the Mexican Music in Lower pines?

Please Advise.

Juan culture is a way of life. Like one family may have different culture than another. Our culture is like the caravan
mexicans that you speek of stressing in High teconlogy and group intrest. A different culture would be no eletricity and no modern equipment. Like tribes have different culture than us computer typers. The mexican flag is verry old so there have been many changes in the culture of mexico. Yes it does represent the orignal political culture of mexico. To people like my self the flag is a way of knowing where I am located.

Green for hope;
White for unity, purity, and honesty; and
Red for parenthood and the blood of national heroes.
(Marc Junele Hoyos, 29 Apr 1998)

Other meaning could be:

Green for the territory (resources, mountains, rivers, etc);
White for the people (ethnicity, beliefs, mixture, honesty, unity, purty); and
Red for the struggles for remaining the national independence and freedom.

Juan Manuel Gabino Villascán, October 4, 2001.

Just returned from a two week trip to the Sea of Cortez where I was the recepient of another round of fine Mexican hospitality. What a previledge to have such fine neighbors.

Muchisimas gracias a mis Amigos del Sur.

Still, seriously DMT, don't wave another countries flag in my face to protest the rights
of this country that you deserve, even though you are here illegally.

p.s. Don't forget the 'Indigenous Americans' that were here first.

Did the Mexicans not come from the rapes of the Spanish Conquistadores?

I beleive when the Mexicans got to Canyon De Chewy in Arizona they eat the native indians for lunch?

Just a side note on the flag, as others here in education know, the Mexican Flag, at high schools, has become a gang symbol. Most High schools have dress codes agaist gang attire so both the Nortenos and Surenos use the flag as a gang symbol because they can get away with it at school. Many good kids display it too so it just another problem to deal with.

You guys who get pissed over the Mexican flag, do you also get ticked off when those red staters go on and on about how patriotic they are, while at the same time flying the confederate flag everywhere?

Es bueno Bachar. Hey Juanito con loco....does the American flag symbolize the American culture? If so, should have some real dickheads with the stars and stripes. Stars symbolize the dazed mindset of the Indians after being "reserved" for the reservations and the stripes for all the immigrants who have been crimminals for being here "illegally". Come on boys(and girls)NO ONE came from here EXCEPT the indians, we are only legal because the "government" that masacared everyone and everything deamed it legal. We are all mixes of different lands and cultures, all brothers and sisters when it comes down to it. don't compare and criticize....try to accept, I know that's very hard at times, try to remember, maybe one of your relatives was an illegal alien at one time. Very interesting how the women hold out on race issues...or maybe they are a lot smarter that men and can see through all the schit.
