It's nice we have such a strong Mexican-origin population in Colorado - too bad it isn't reflected in the food. I'm in Colorado Springs and still hunting for the good stuff. I welcome recommendations.

[@alvarocorral1576]

My choices are Gordo’s on S. Academy, Luna’s chicken (food truck) Airport and Circle, and Sonora Prime meat market/ Mexican food on Barnes and Marksheffell but yeah overall food is boring here in Colorado Springs..

Homemade Mexican food is the ONLY actual Mexican food. Anything in most restaurants are modified to accommodate American tastes

[@naynaybreenay1396]

The authentic Mexican food isn’t cheesy and when you ask for cheese it’s usually white cheese

[@darrellrees4371]

@@naynaybreenay1396 There is more yellow cheese in one Tex-Mex joint than in the entire country of Mexico.

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Those states you mentioned belonged to Spain for longer than Mexico. Juan Ponce DeLeon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513 and St Augustine was founded in 1565, before Plymouth, or Jamestown. Heck, even before Roanoke. Texas was founded in like 1520 (I forgot by who and then the fort/Presidio near San Antonio Villa de Bexar was founded about a century later, in 1718. Juan Cabrillo landed in Modern SanDiego in 1542, but that wasn't a Presidio until 1769. So Spain held the US SW etc from 1513 (Florida)/1520 (Texas etc) onward until Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821. The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was in 1848, So Mexico only owned the US SW for 27 years, Spain, over 300.

[@jeffwatson8862]

What of it? It's 2024😊

[@sactopyrshep]

Fascinating history.

[@jimmym9581]

The Southwest was apart of colonial Mexico (New Spain) the entire time it was ruled by spain. It was administered/ruled by Mexico City. The people and land were Mexican that entire time during the spanish colonial period. Everyone regardless of their racial heritage that was born in New Spain/Mexico during the colonial period was called Mexican by everyone. Maps of colonial Mexico during that period were titled as "Nueva espana o Mexico" because the whole world throughout the colonial period understood that New Spain from California to the Yucatan = Mexico. That is why it's totally understandable that when Mexico gained independence from spain so did the Southwest because it was Northern Mexico. The people of the Southwest during the colonial period were Mexican and very few of them were of full blooded European descent. Only a handful were actually from spain and most of them were expelled a few years after independence.

[@mr.la976]

Please give my regards to your Mexican wife - I believe you did mention in a previous video that you had a Mexican wife, don't you? You covered this subject very intelligently and compassionately, thank you. It really came as no surprise to me that the top 4 states on this list were all the states that share a border with Mexico. Or that all three West Coast states had a large Mexican population. Let's see - California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas were all once part of Mexico and New Spain, I believe. Heck - the last four digits of my cell phone number spell out the year that the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed!

[@thullraven1]

Excellent video, and what I'm about to say isn't a knock on Briggs. It's a general observation regarding how the US categorizes ethnic groups. Only in the US is "Latino" considered ONLY Latin America. The rest of the world isn't so ignorant regarding ethnic groups. Latino is a form of "Latin" which refers to any people of Latin Language Origins (The Romance Languages) which would include all the Latin American peoples as well as people of Italian, Portuguese, French, Spanish, and Romanian heritage. For example, saying an Italian (in particular) isn't Latin is like saying a Lion isn't a member of the cat family. That Italian's Roman Ancestors spoke Latin. You can't be any more Latin than that. SMH.

[@KamBar2020]

Based on ya explanation, Can a Brazilian guy be classified as Latino ❓Can a Filipina with Spanish surname be said as Latina ❓

[@thullraven1]

@@KamBar2020 It's not "my" explanation. That's Sociologists and Genealogists explanations. To answer your question, a Brazilian is indeed Latino. The Filipina with a Spanish surname is not. She is Asian. She is not of Latin blood because she did not originate in the lands of Latin or Latino people which are the countries I mentioned. I can change my name to Sven Karlsson and start speaking Swedish but that doesn't mean I'm a Scandanavian.

[@KamBar2020]

@@thullraven1 Well, Most of my Brazilian friends in California see themselves as Brazilians not Latinos😉They reason they have different culture, tradition and language.💬And many Filipinos in the US are still of Spanish ancestry with common Spanish surnames such as Garcia, Tejada, Ramirez etc. Sometimes those folks think of themselves as LatinAsians 😃
