All of Southern California really.

My favorite is when dickhead white folks say they want "all the brown people to go back where they came from," without the slightest clue that they were here first, and then they get real pissy when you point that fact out.

Yeah I point out that Texas used to actually be part of Mexico and the border moved, not the people.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 96 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The border moved because Mexico had banned slavery so they fought a war to keep it.

Texas is the only state in the union to fight a war for slavery TWICE.

And that, kids, is the important thing to remember about The Alamo

Apparently white folk in Texas despise being called Texicans

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.

In capitalist America.

Isn't Texas properly pronounced as Te-has, a Mexican name?

[–] GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago

Tejas is from the native americans, if I remember rightly. Something to do with 'friend' or 'friendship' I think. Then it gets filtered through the spanish language before coming to english as texas.

I live in a white flight town in the bay area. We're still 20% Hispanic. Maybe Shasta?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Even then, most of California was predominantly Hispanic from the mid 1700s onward. When the Spaniards came to Baja California in the mid 1750s, they established 5 Franciscan missions in baja, along with 21 missions between San Diego and just north of the bay. They mixed with the indigenous population, who then became known as Californios. It wasn't until white people started showing up just prior to and especially during the gold rush, with then California becoming a US state in 1850. Even then, it wasn't until the late 1800s/early 1900s that California became predominantly white, and that was primarily due to the sheer number of white folks that moved west in such numbers that eclipsed the local Hispanic population.
