“gabacho” is another term of endearment our new Aztlan overlords reserve for us.

At my highly multicultural former worksite the latinos y pochos referred to Filipinos as “chinos”.

Chino is/was a catchall term inclusive of Filipinos, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thais and anyone else remotely related to the above mentioned. Political correctness was refreshingly absent from our workplace.

Gachupín.....Gallego...Tacaño ....Gabacho .... are Mexican terms for Spaniards. (whom they grudgingly respect ... I theenk.) But you're right about Mexicans being intensely xenophobic. I had an Ecuadorean guy on my team once working in Mexico, and they called him "El Mono," i.e., "The Monkey," because they suspected he was from the jungly bits of that country, about which they of course, knew nothing.

When I spoke Spanish to my Mexicans, I tried to channel my favorite Mexican actor, Gilbert Roland. Usually brought them quickly to heel, especially after shooting one or two. But hard as one might try, one cannot treat Mexicans as badly as their own upper classes do! What a funky outfit!

Herewith then, some words from my favorite Mexican philosopher (and marriage counselor), Cuco Sanchez

Sing it, Cuco!

If you ever hope to hook up with a charming señorita, you had better listen up, Gringo! Take two tequilas and call me in the morning

And where is the Republican Party while all this transpires?

Just doin' the same old, same old. As if we thought there'd be a difference after November...

The señoritas I know, cholos call them ‘hynas’, are more into rock than the sound of an acoustic guitar. But they will usually accept una tequila or dos.

Now Pel, didn’t your ma tell you never to say “cholo?”

[Pelham]

Well sometimes I say ‘what up, (vato, ese, gangsta, G, or just homie)’
