I’m half Mexican and half Punjabi. Whenever we have parties, it looks exactly like this lol. Both cultures are so much alike. I don’t feel the difference. Both love music, dancing, bright colors, family oriented, drinking, fighting and lots of chisme lol. Spent Sunday mornings at the Catholic Church, then went to eat langar at the gurdwara. Mmmm. Good times.

Love this! Proud to be Mexican-Punjabi American (Catholic & Sikh) and able to dance both Bhangra and Baile Folklorico 💃🏻

[@michaelscott6357]

There is a reason Mexicans and Punjabis connect, and it's b/c we share the same core principles. We both have strong working men and beautiful capable women, great food and we can dance. It just works.

As a Californian I love hearing about these lesser known aspects of California culture and history. In this particular case, Dance is a great way to explore it. Also imagining the possibilities in Mexican-Punjabi fusion cuisine!

[@ricardoguanipa8275]

So do they have Rancheras in Hindi? And I bet the food is twice as spicy

[@pdswrld5200]

Nothing is spicier than the MEXCAN food💯🔥

[@joseguzman7542]

Have you eaten spicy Indian food, I used to say the same thing then I ate at my friends house. Way hotter. Restaurants usually tone it down for the main public.

[@amykarr6163]

I wish you would clear up that when you say "terrorized by the Mexican revolution," you mention Mexicans were trying to kick out the white man
