In the spirit of the 'Damn Canadians' thread I'd thought I'd start one about Mexicans. Thing is I can't think of anything funny about Mexicans without Railroader being upset.

Anyone?

Maybe Railroader can help me out, eh?

They have big mustaches and big straw hats and are always standing next to a donkey.

You can fit 20-30 of them in your van

The one next door keeps parking his burro in my parking spot.

Well, you learn something new every day. For example, don't type the words "fat Mexican girl" into Google image search with the safesearch off.

Really. Don't. Trust me on that.

Friend: What are you doing?
Dad: What does it look like I'm doing?
Friend: OK, why are you packing up all that stuff? It's just extra weight to carry.
Dad: Well, I don't want to be stuck eating tacos or burritos all day when I'm in Mexico.

I understand you're simply trolling and trying to bait me.

However, to make this thread into something you do NOT want it to become (ie. a humorous pice where Mexicans can make fun of themselves in a similar manner that Canadians were making fun of themselves in the "Damn Canadians" thread) I will contribute this:

If you ever need to use a knife just ask a Mexican. I've never met a Mexican who wasn't "carryin' a blade."

That's not funny....

It's true

I like Mexican food.

Margaritas...burritos...tacos...quesadillas...

Really good Mexican food is wonderful.

Mexican culture adds a lot to world culture.

They just need to come here with an invitation by either birth or the Immigration Department, that's all.

Wait, just Mexicans or all Latinos? If it's all Latinos, then I just may take offense to this thread. After all, I'm just a regular Latino boy: I do yard work for a living; park my car on my lawn; have a thick accent; eat tortillas, rice and frijoles with everything; and not only does my full name have 10 parts to it (Juses Martin Mendoza Peña Damas del Carmen Gonzales Martinez Navarro Aguilar), I make sure to use them all when introducing myself. Also, for a little extra cash, so I can pimp out my 1984 Toyota Corolla, I hang around the local Home Depot, waiting to be picked up by Gringos to do some manual labor. And, as soon as I find a good spot, I'm going to start selling oranges and roses outside a freeway exit. That's how I roll, staying true to my peoples. Sup, bitches? **

**I've posted this before elsewhere and I've gotten a lot crap for it. Before that happens here, let me say that I really am a Latino and this is meant as a joke.

Damn Mexicans! How dare they provoke us into a war because our people were colonizing their land, in which case we fight back and take half their country! The nerve of some people!

Agreed!

Actually, Hispanic inventors have contributed a tremendous amount of work to the understanding of the science of the human physiology.

... and the yo-yo.

yo-yo was an aztec weapon, i believe, right?

Things are a lot less funny when you're not allowed to be offensive.

My aunt and two of my cousins are Mexican though, so I'm sitting this one out. Have a black aunt too, so no one start a thread about African Americans. I don't have any Dutch relatives though, so have at it.

At least Mexico has their own culture...

Cody Dawg · Jun 9, 2006, 06:30 PM

Seriously, without Mexican culture and food influences the world would be a lot more boring.

In fact, list your favorite Mexican recipes here.

Mine is green chile chicken enchiladas.

You mean your world would be a lot more boring. Not a whole heap of Mexican influence going on here.

Most of them cannot drive worth a s_h_i_t - and they are all in front of me when i am late to work!!!!!

I find it interesting that nobody's yet posted that saying "Mexicans" is as broad as saying "Canadians." Maybe broader; the range of cultures, dialects and accents across Mexico is much broader than across Canada.

I have one big beef about certain Mexicans. At various times of the year it seems to be traditional for large numbers of Mexican nationals to come to San Antonio and shop. No big deal to me, really. But the way some of these folks behave while they're here is not good: they drive large, expensive vehicles like they own ALL of the road, they park badly, they obstruct other people's access within the stores they're shopping in, and they get upset when obviously Anglo store workers don't speak Spanish. The impression I get is that these are well off people who are used to lording their wealth over the much less fortunate around them, and they just keep behaving that way wherever they go. A classmate of mine is Mexican, and from a rather wealthy family. Alex does NOT behave in any way like this-she's a nice person who behaves nicely with and to others. I don't get the "I'm rich, so you're crap" attitude these shoppers have--and not all of the seasonal shoppers from Mexico do this, by the way; it's a small but very noticable number.
