#6 The Chinese have all the right in the world to “influence” the Latin Americans.
Tanks to China at least they have the excuse and chance to kick the gringos maricones and traviesos out of their countries.
All of you have to understand the entire world do not want American culture or influence. America is sick and revolting to all.
Americans for decades created wars and poverty in there.

#8 If the rest of the world doesn’t want it, Aca Joe, they should stop buying or copying our hip-hop, rock’n’roll, jazz, Blues, blue jeans, baseball caps, and movies. They should also stop trying to move here.

It’s really quite simple, but they won’t do it.

You also didn’t do it, my dear. You could have retired to Acapulco or Costa Rica or Bonaire instead of your little corner of heaven-with-girlfriend in California. No matter what your head might say, your heart knows better and drove you to vote with your feet.

First, in my case regarding music I don’t listen to the trash.
The rest of the world if you travel care less about rap, rock and roll
and especially blues. Just because an American band played in another country doesn’t mean that the entire country love that music. Contrary to the rest of the world American music managers have always sabotaged any attempt to foreign music to enter the USA, and that is a fact told to me by my old friend Bob Greemberg, one of the biggest music executives in Los Angeles, now defunct.
Regarding the jeans story… 99.9 % of jeans in the world are made outside the USA , and no one considers jeans as an American pants
As for myself ever in my life I have used jeans or followed baseball
I dress Brioni or custom made by Italian tailors and I do not follow any sport
Third, I owned and payed all my investment in here.
From investments generated in another country.
Thank you and now have a nice day.

#10 I owned and payed all my investment in here.

I assumed as much, just as I assume you are not a narco-gangster, unlike some of your countrymen who have settled in this country.. Nonetheless, you have chosen to live in this country you claim is so horrible, when Spain, for instance, would be overjoyed to have you settle there, bringing your work ethic and business sense... not to mention the earnings you made in another country. Italy would sell you an entire village for a euro if you would settle there — why did you choose America instead?

But you are necessarily not typical of Mexicans or non-Americans in general, given what you have done and where you have done it.

No entire country loves any one thing, but the fact is that many American bands and movies make much of their profits overseas, well beyond the possibility that it’s a few novelty acts. This has become their music, not just America’s. It’s just that it was America’s first. Mr. Wife and I regularly go to the International Blues Competition in Memphis, Tennessee, where every year a significant number of competitors are sent by Blues societies from all over the world, and many years at least one of them makes it to the final round. And since getting past the first round requires creating original songs, it is clear these bands are not merely acquiring a repertoire of American music, but have absorbed it and made it their own, forsaking local and regional musical styles.

Ditto for blue jeans. It isn’t who makes the things now, it’s where the fashion was established, and why the rest of the world adopted them as their own in preference to local styles.

Are you serious? Maybe you need to know that the peoples that you call Mexican gangsters , living and prospering in here , are vetted and protected by the scum in the Cia
Plus I remember you California for many peoples,including myself IS part of Mexico! it was stolen long time ago, and will be back
So I do not consider California as part of USA!
And so millions and millions of California Latino

Molon labe, dear boy. Though it is telling that the lot of you have not done so.

#12
I'm a businessman
from Tenochtitlan.
No one could teach
me nothin'!

A totally clever,
and riveting man!
For years I pushed
rivets into denim.

From Fresno to sea!
California will be free!
We'll never need
American money!

Burritos and clothes,
is all people need.
They'll have as many
as can fit inside a gunny!
