Thanx for an enlighting post.

Because of that, last nite, in the grito ceremony I proudly screamed Viva Mexico!

the closing sentences really resonated with me! we are our ancestors as much as we are ourselves. i appreciate and respect your acknowledgment of the continuum. unapologetically, even.

Oh man, this gave me chills, Nezua. Sometimes I don’t have time to read, but this brought me back to when I first discovered The Unapologetic Mexican.

Thank you for your words. As part of my job at a not-quite-as-pricey-but-still-too-expensive school, I will be called on to explain some of these things to people in the coming weeks, and I’ll make sure to tell them to come here.
