La Raza

Today I was part of a Promotional event for Mc Donald's at the USA vs. Mexico Soccer Match. The number of Mexicans attending was simply amazing. At one point I felt I was somewhere in Hermosillo, Puebla, Guanajuato, Tolima etc.

The radio station that was part of the event was playing Grupera music and even Cumbia. All the US born kids that did not even spoke Spanish where dressed with the Mexican national team uniform, their faces painted with the Mexican flag and some of them even had their hair colored with Mexican colors.

Inside the stadium the relation was 10:1, so It felt like a home game for the Mexicans. They lost 1:null to the Americans bringing the pre cinco de mayo festivities to an abrupt end.

Sometimes I think that Texas is still a part of Mexico, despite the fact that the land was lost to the "gringos" centuries ago the people stayed, la Raza is still alive and kicking.
