We forget that British Columbia used to be claimed by both the Spanish and British. There's shitloads of Spanish names up there and in Washington as well.

I live near a town that is proud of its Norwegian heritage. I would no sooner deny what are essentially ethnic Texans (whose families have been in the United States longer than my neighbors) their heritage any more than I would bulldoze the Sons of Norway building.

I get it. Build the fucking wall. Mexicans are fucking Mexicans, and they need to Make Mexico Great Again. But Texans are Americans. Just because the left says we can't tell the difference doesn't mean we have to prove them right.

His point is, we can go to San Antonio and not get offended.

We can realize it's an American city with a Mexican-Spanish history. We can respect that and want a wall simultaneously.

I'm from Texas and I see it this way. My issue is, and I wish it wasn't so; Mexicans have nothing to be proud of. Their culture is shit. Its not that old of a heritage, them being a 1600 AD mix of Indians and Spaniards. So, its extremely annoying to me when they're proud of their heritage. What heritage? Even good Mexican food, is Tex-Mex. As in, an American twist on their food preferences. Their heritage is eating spicy food and having lots of babies.

There revolution was a joke.

They wouldn't even be a country after the American-Mexican war, except that we literally didn't want the desert full of poverty.

At least blacks overcame something.

Endrant, but yeah let them keep their beaner city names. All those places suck anyways.
