Mexicans vs Puerto Ricans in Los Angeles?

[100]

What alot of people dont take in mind is on the islands and in Latin America in general, the Europeans usually brought more Africans than they did their own people. Mix that with the csste sytems and the native population you have a lot of colored people mixing and then trying to mix with white to move up in racial rank. In America, you have a native culture the whites are beating back, a small black population compared to whites so the miscegenation is gonna play out a little different than in other parts of the Americas.

IMMIGRATION OCCURED FROM VARIOUS EUROPEAN NATIONS INCLUDING SPAIN BY THETHOUSANDSWHICH IS WHY THE MAJORITYOF PRS ARE OF EUOPEAN DECENTAND ON TOP OFTHAT EUOPEANS HAVE DIFFERENT LOOKS AND HUES LATER SO YOUR WHINNING IS FLAWED

LOL

Damn, Mexicans are invading the US. I know alot of Mexicans leaving Cali and going to other places but never heard of them going all the way to CT. I know NY is getting flooded with Mexicans.

Maybe you are late on this but Mexicans have landed on CT also! In NY the have definately flooded every town and borough. Even on 116 street "spanish harlem which was puerto rican since the early 40's and 50's is now mostly Mexican shops and stores. The last Italian shop disappeared like last year and the puerto ricans one also dissapearing for Mexican shops and street vendors on the main street of the puerto rican harlem.

well there has always been problems between puerto ricans and mexicans mainly because ignorant people think that everyone whom speaks spanish comes from Mexico that why most have a little grudge against Mexicans

On the east coast (NY )it has been the opposite. Prior to the 90's everyone speaking spanish was called a puerto rican by default. Now all of a sudden everyone is very familar with what a mexican looks like and what a puerto rican looks like.

Puerto Ricans have indian blood but not on the level of Mexicans, Peruvians, Bolivians, Ecuadorans etc. There's no such thing as a Puerto Rican mestizo. They have about 10-15% indian ancestry on average. In Mexico that would be considered white.

I dont understand what you're saying "There's not such thing a a Puerto Rican mestizo" Have you seen Jimmy Smitts or Luis Guzman?? Come on doggy.

No puerto rican mestizos? Ha ha....does the name Erik Estrada mean anything to you? Many people thought he was mexican

what is whinning? never heard of that word

In florida yeah i've heard plenty times ricans beaten on mexicans and in chicago but in cali it would take them forever to get there numbers up.

MMM yeah that aint happening in Chicago, maybe Illegals getting robbed, but not Chicanos two many of us in Chicago, plus neighborhoods that used to be known for being PR are now overwhelmingly mixed with Mexican families, I for the most part never had any bad situations with PRs seeing how eventually we all inter-marry, we may have our friendly rivalries but its not like the 70s when there might have been some tensions due to jobs but thats mostly economic in nature.

There aint no damn Ricans in LA. The biggest Rican populations in America be in this order, NY, CHI, Philly. Only NY and CHI have over 100,000 Ricans because they arent as big a Latino group as the Mexicans are. And for Mexican population in the cities its LA, followed by Houston, then Chicago. So if yall gonna ask bout Ricans VS Mexicans yall should ask people whose city actually has both and huge numbers. Yall dont know bout no Ricans! If a Rican doesnt like a Mexican up here in Chicago its prolly because of anomosity that Ricans have now that Mexicans are sorta dominating the latino numbers in Chicago and are still increasing. While the Ricans have been around for decades and were the founders of the gangs like the Latin Kings, Maniac Latin Disciples, PR Stones, etc. And now alotta the Rican gangs (they are still majority Rican) have taken in other groups including the Mexicans. So a Chi Rican Latin King might be kinda arrogant to a Mexican Latin King since the ALKN has roots in the Puerto Rican struggle. All they reall have in common is Spanish but Ricans got that black and Mexicans got that Indian. Im just looking out from the outside because Im not Rican or Mexican, you have to ask one of them. And we have King Cobras in Chicago. I guess the Chi mobs just go every where it seems.

Majority of Latin Kings I know are all of Mexican origins, the original Latin King sets were all up north around the humbolt park area PR side of town, but even those are mostly Mexican now, The biggest latin king sets are all on the south side of the city, and just about all the latinos on the southside are all Mexican.

^^^Thats Crazy

I used to live in Providence about 10 years ago. While there always have been Ricans and Dominicans, I hear that there a grip Mexicans there now.

I got one question, do the East coast Mexicans rep themselves like L.A. Mexicans (ese style)? Or do they have their own thing going on?

I think they tend to adopt the regional dialect and style of that area, some will try reall hard to act all ESE L.A and sh(*t but eventually the mexicans that I know that live in NY now have kids that talk with a heavy Brooklyn accent, I'm talking second gen which there are a very few, but in Chicago mexicans dont act all ESE, we got our own style its a mixture.

I never heard a Mexican talk with a New York accent. New York has come a long way, but there should be a whole generation of New Yor-Mexicans now grown up.
