Heineken Helps Mexicans Reunite with Old Friends in Tarrytown, NY
Tarrytown is not a place that immediately springs to mind as a Latino hotbed. But I was pleasantly surprised this weekend to find out the U.S. population has exploded in and around Westchester County.
Of course, most Latinos are still doing the gardening, cooking, cleaning and the like, but heck! you gotta start somewhere. At least, Mexicans can now get re-acquainted with two old friends from back home, Chela & Helodia, which I can safely say are mostly recognizable only among my people.
Mexican Entertainment Takes Over the ‘Big Apple’
Not content with scaring the bejesus out of white families around the nation’s freeways, the Mexicans are now taking over the heart of the Big Apple: Times Square.
Open 7 days a week, the Mexican Bar -and its scantily clad señoritas– is waiting for you to celebrate its gran “inaguración,” which is kind of like an “inauguración” but way, way better.
So what are YOU waiting for? Come have some real Latin fun! This joint is 100% mMexicano [sic].
Coke Sweet Coke: Marketing to Mexicans 101
Forget all about Hispanic cheese and lettuce. You know your neighborhood supermarket is genuinely targeting Mexicans when its soda aisle devotes space to the real thing.

Puerto Rican Man in New York, Pissed Because ‘Hispanic’ Is Not a Race
I thought I had heard everything about the 2010 Census, including NALEO’s efforts to get us off our tía’s couch and the Jesus-Caesar Augustus connection. But this one takes the cake: Turns out a Puerto Rican security guard in Bronx, New York, this week refused to fill out his Census form, because “Hispanic” was not an option under the Race box.
“For me to see this I feel kind of offended,” Richard Robles told WPIX.
And, why wouldn’t he? After all, for reasons I yet have to understand, the U.S. Census considers “Vietnamese,” “Korean” and “Japanese” a race. So, continuing that logic: If Korean people are of the “Korean race”, and “Vietnamese” people are from the “Vietnamese race,” I urge Mr. Robles’ to check himself as a proud member of the Puerto Rican race.
As for myself, I was truly offended “Human” was not an option; so I had to use the “Some other race –print race” space to spell out N.P.I. (Ni Pinche Idea)
