[font size=5]Being a Mexican American is Exhausting[/font]
Gregory NAVA, writer/director of Selena
"Our family has been here for centuries and yet they treat us as if we just swam across the Rio Grande. We have to know about John Wayne and Pedro Infante. We have to know about Frank Sinatra and Augustin Lara. We have to know about Oprah and Christina. Anglo Food is too bland and yet when we go to Mexico we get the runs. Now that to me is embarrassing. Japanese Americans, Italian Americans, German Americans, their homeland is on the other side of the ocean. Ours is right next door. And we have to prove to the Mexicans how Mexican we are and we have to prove to the Americans how American we are. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans[/FONT]. Both at the same time. Its exhausting. Nobody knows how tough it is to be Mexican American."
[font size=5]Mexican Americans Song[/font]
Cheech MARIN writer, Tommy CHONG writer/director, Cheech & Chongs Next Movie
Cheech: Mexican Americans don't like to just get into gang fights,
they like flowers and music and white girls named Debbie, too.
Mexican Americans are named Chata and Chella and Chima
and have a son in law named Jeff.
Mexican Americans don't like to get up early in the morning
but they have to so they do it real slow.
[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Mexican Americans love education so they go to night school
and they take spanish and get a B[/FONT].
Mexican Americans love their Nana's and their Nono's and their
Nena's and their Neno's........ Nano Nano Nena Nono!
Mexican Americans don't like to go to the movies where the
dude has to wear contact lenses to make his blue eyes brown
'cause it don't make my brown eyes blue.....
"And thats all I got, how do ya like it?"
Chong: (phone rings) Keep working on it, man.
Cheech: (singing in the background: ) Beaners! Beaners gonna... Hello. Mexican Americans like to answer telephone calls and say hello to whoever's on the other end.
