As a Chicano growing up in Utah, we watched the Vietnam War on the TV throughout the war. I don't ever remember seeing Browns, Blacks, or Asians being interviewed or shown on the news clips. As I remember, most of my older brothers' and uncles' Chicano friends went to Vietnam. Most of the Chicanos from our town went into the military, and you don't even see their names on the street displays when you drive through our hometown.

Many Mexican-Americans consider themselves "Spaniards" and therefore European thus they are white. It may explain why they outnumber everyone in Texas and do not have a Mexican American Governor or Senator in Texas. For reference, check out the cartoon " Gordo" by Gus Arriola.

My uncle on my mom's side Pablo Rodriquez was one of the first American jet fighter pilots. He served in mig alley in Korea. He told me something I never actually read in history books. I asked him one time if the Korean pilots in mig alley were as good as I read about. He said he wouldn't know because most of the pilots they faced were not Korean. I said what do you mean? He said most of the bodies the recovered were blond haired and blue eyed which meant they were actually facing Russian pilots.

I would too but, Hollywood's (semetic) producers would never recoup their, "Return on Investment" (RoI) from the movie. Only Hispanics would go see it, & even then, only Mexicanos/Chicanos would see it. However they're usually working, so they might catch it on reruns once it goes to tv. No $$$. Central Americans, Puerto Ricans (who look down on Mexicans because of citizenship), Cubans, Dominicans, etc. wouldn't care to see it. They don't get along with Mexicans/Chicanos. They don't bring in the same $$$ as Whites or Blacks. Movies are made to make $$$. If a movie is too niche, its not gonna make that much money, that's why it'll never get made. If they make Black American "war movies" its because they know they'll get their money back, more or less. If they make Black and Hispanic gangster crime movies, that's where they'll get their RoI.

@@Mexicano1768 For those readers that are too lazy to research...please, allow me to paraphrase. "Operation Wetback" was adopted by the Eisenhower Administration in the 1950's. During WW2, and part of the Korean War, the US had a program called the, "Brazero (Strong Arms) Program", that would allow men from 19 to 40 from Mexico, to enter the US, and work the jobs that had been vacated by the men drafted into military service. This was seen as a way to keep the economy strong and functioning. They didn't pay the Brazeros the same but, no one expected them to pay a, "dirty brown Messkin" for the same job as a white man did anyways. Once the wars were over, they expected the Mexicanos to just "go home" back to Mexico. Bye-bye. Well, those guys had started to build lives here, married, had kids, invested in banks, and bonds, and started businesses. They not only were invested in family, but also economically, so they stayed. "Operation Wetback" was created to vigorously kick them all-out like they never existed. They immediately ran into problems. A vast amount of these Mexican young men had married (TO WHITE WOMEN) and started families, and businesses. Their babies were now mixed Mexican, and White kids. The republican party government couldnt be viewed as "breaking apart" half-white families. Yes, the beginnings of the "Chicano Movement" of the 60's-70's, started with these babies. Of course, ever since then, immigration has been the rally-cry for all republicans. And it was a republican that invited the Mexicanos in the first place. Thank's Ike.

It’s important for all communities that make up the U.S. not feel invisible, that all of OUR contributions be counted and acknowledged. That is especially true of Mexican Americans who served as patriots for this country. Any demographic that feels invisible will respond with resentment as a consequence, that includes middle America whites, urban African Americans etc. Mexican Americans have contributed greatly to our war efforts and should be acknowledged for their service. Sadly, there are elements in the “left leaning CNN media” and the Fox News - Wall Street Journal “far right media” that don’t represent them.
