¡ASK A MEXICAN!
BY GUSTAVO ARELLANO
SPECIAL PANDEMIC EDITION
Dear Mexican: My
wife and I have an
argument going on
about pirates. And
since you are the
source for all things
Mexican. I’d thought
I’d ask: While I know
there were Span-
ish and Portuguese
pirates back in the
early 1600s and
1700s, were there
EVER any MEXICAN
pirates? Not pirates
from Spain who pirated in Mexico, but REAL HONEST
TO HAY-SOOS MEXICAN PIRATES! Would be interest-
ing to know!
Pirates Pat McGroin and The Right Reverend One Eye
Dear Gabachos: It depends by what your defi nition of “pi-
rate” is. If you’re looking for a famous swashbuckler from
the days of Blackbeard, tough tamales: Historians never
bothered to glorify the numerous buccaneers who ransacked
Spanish galleons laden with the gold and silver of Mexican
mines off the Mexican coast. The most famous Mexican
pirate was Fermin Mundaca, who operated a contraband em-
pire from the island of Islas Mujeres off the coast of Quinta-
na Roo during the mid-1800s — but Mundaca was a Spanish
native. Why look back in the past, though, when so many
Mexican pirates exist in the present? Piratería is as Mexican
an industry as tortilla-making and immigrant-smuggling:
the International Federation of Phonographic Industry, an
international organization that fi ghts music piracy world-
wide, estimates Mexicans make more than $220 million off
of illegal CDs, most sold at the nearest swap meet, bodega
or taco truck near you. And before some of you readers start
insinuating that such a startlingly large amount is somehow
indicative of the Mexican culture’s tendency to steal, what
would you call fi le-sharing?
Do Mexicans get annoyed that whenever a Hollywood
movie calls for a Mexican character actor, Cheech
Marin gets the job? This is great for Cheech but
must be bad for Mexican actors struggling to land a
good part in Hollywood. Danny Trejo gets the badass
roles, Antonio Banderas gets the leading man roles,
and character roles go to Cheech (in case of a small
budget, maybe Tommy Chong, but he’s cast more for
being an old stoner than Mexican). With the bloom-
ing careers of truly great Mexican directors Alfonso
Cuar"n and Guillermo del Toro, don’t you think Holly-
wood should give some other Mexicans a chance in the
limelight? Cheech is already rich — let someone else
have a slice of the pie!
Celluloid Culero
Dear Gabacho: No argument from me, except Tommy
Chong and Antonio Banderas ain’t Mexican!
If we stereotype a person by drawing attention to the
fact that someone is Mexican instead of the content of
their actions, why do minority cultures celebrate the
very fact that, say, Mexicans fought for certain types
of rights? Aren’t they stereotyping themselves by do-
ing so? If I did the same thing as a white person, I’d be
considered racist. So, why aren’t you considered racist
as well?
14/88
Dear Gabacho: I’ve contestado many a silly question in
this column, but yours takes the pastel as the stupidest
I’ve yet answered. What Know Nothings such as yourself
don’t understand is that when minority groups struggle for
civil rights, they’re merely calling America on its founding
bluff — you know, that whole “all men are created equal”
bullshit. So, when Mexican parents in Orange County in the
1940s sued four school districts for segregating Mexican
kiddies away from gabachitos, the parents didn’t do it just
to benefi t wabs; the resulting lawsuit, Mendez vs. Westmin-
ster, served as a precedent to the much-more-famous Brown
vs. Board of Education. When Cesar Chavez marched and
fasted for justice in the fi elds, his ultimate causa was the
same as European unionists at the turn of the 20th century:
a fair shake for the working man. When millions march
for amnesty for the undocumented, it’s a protest against a
hypocritical, Byzantine immigration system that entangles
all foreigners, not just Mexicans. Whites fi ghting for “white”
rights only shows how freaked some gabachos get about
realizing that minorities are actually, fi nally being treated
like Americans. If trying to battle hate makes me a racist,
then here’s a Roman salute to your face, pendejo.
