I speak Norteno/Texmex Spanish as my 2nd language-learned at home as a child-but that is because small ranchers, farmers and truckers like most of my family do business on both sides of the border in S/SW Texas. We are of Hispanic ancestry, but rural people of all ethnicities there speak that dialect-rural business people on the other side speak English pretty well, too...

I live in a rural area that is pretty evenly mixed-Hispanic/WASP-most speak Spanish as a 2nd language-there are a few Blacks and Asians, but not many since this is a ranching and tourist area mostly.

There is one tourist trap dude ranch out here that hires a few green cards who speak English for service jobs in addition to local people, but the green cards only work the winter snowbird season, then go home for the rest of the year. All his service workers are in their late teens/early 20’s.

Most of MrT5’s family live in Quebec-he was of Canadian French ancestry. The 1st time I went to visit them there, I was offended at the way they chattered away with him in Quebecois, and acted as though I was someone of a servant class because I didn’t speak French-what a bunch of snobby frogs...

My wife was from Mexico. Our child who is half whatever is one of only six Hispanic kids in the school.

My wife can’t stand Mexico anymore since it had become a nation of less civilized folks in her eyes then when she left.
Mostly could not stand trash thrown on purpose all over the ground there.

Outside of my wife, most of her relatives here will retire in Mexico on American SS.

My wife pays lots of taxes, but she would vote Dem as a first generation from Mexico who has been taught at our own colleges how bad the USA is.
