On the East Coast, nobody says "ese." The Puerto Ricans and Dominicans would beat up anybody who said that for being a "Mexican." ;-)

Yeah, I'm West Coast to the bone.

But, not in the Tupac Shakur "get my ass shot" sort of way.

My ex-girlfriend during my Seattle sojourn was "Chicana to the bone" from Porterville, CA. Actually a nice girl, and a great kisser, among other things.

Actually, attacks on Mexicans by Dominicans in New York and New Jersey have become quite a problem in that area. Mexicans are looked down upon by other Latinos, especially those who are here on green cards, and hate that los Mojados get a pass...
