BTW, if you watched the movie La Bamba, you find that Rickey Valens father was a WWI American veteran and his brother (an ex-con) ended up as a Disney cartoonist. I suppose he and his family would be identified as others as Mexican-Americans. On the other hand, once you are a wartime military veteran it's different.
Unfortunately, we are dealing with an entirely different cultural mindset now, the differences between the mostly friendly Mexico of the mid 20th Century and the quasimodo Mexico of today are mind boggling.

Oh Lord, "quasimodo", what was I thinking? I meant "quasi-hostile".
I need coffee.

Same Mexico ~ same Mexicans.
Whoever got the idea the place was friendly. These guys ran a revolution that'd curl your hair. Most of them still hate each other's guts.
