Stuff Educated Chicanos Like

Mayra from Hella Breezys sent this in my Facebook inbox the other day: Stuff Educated Chicanos Like


About a year ago, I posted an entry on some stupid blogs entitled, "Stuff Educated Latinos Like" and "Stuff Latin People Like" (I still cringe at the word "latin"). These blogs made me so upset because they did NOT know what they were talking about.


Stuff Educated Chicanos Like speaks to me and my soul. Mayra hit it on the nail when she found it! All of it is true and it's hilarious. Yes, I do own things with the Virgin de Guadalupe and various saints, yet I do not go to church. Yeah, I enjoy conferences and conventions to meet other Educated Chican@s/Brown People/Raza and going to the after-parties. Those parties have been some of the most epic ones I have ever been to in my life--hands down! There's always going to be some down-ass self-identified Chicana that goes off against white feminism, talks about the importance of recognizing the struggle of la mujer (or muxer if you are super hardcore), and then grinds her ass on some dude to reggaeton music while not spilling her red cup.  That's just how those parties go.



One of my favorite memories was when $Cruz and I went to a conference and ran into a brown James Franco. She was walking in front of me and her head did some sort of Excorcist-360-turn with her jaw dropped. My head also followed him, why front? He ended up being some idiot douche lord from Santa Rosa. He was in my discussion group and he started going off on how he thought white men "had it hard too." Of course, in typical Marb$-fashion, I ripped him a new asshole with my debate skills. Que pendejo, I still can't believe it! And after further inspection of his face, we concluded that it had more craters than the moon.

I highly suggest you all check out the Stuff Educated Chicanos Like! Also, check out Mayra's blog Hella Breezys!

#16 is just for you. Making tamales. ;) (OK OK...ECHs don't actually make them. We pretend to.) We need ideas!

Haha.

How about MAKING NEW family traditions? I'm trying to convert my family into Christians

Maribel said...

You can still have tamales as Christians. Or is that not allowed? If this is the case, one express ticket to hell please.

conquistador said...

Hahah. It's not what goes INTO the mouth but what comes out that makes it unholy. Throwing out truth bombs. No rules, grace yo.

#16 on ECH: Making new family traditions.

I love Tamales, could not give it up.
