Latino U.S.A : A Cartoon History

I really enjoyed reading this pop art by Stavans. While reading this comic book I found it personally funny. I'm not Mexican, but I'm a Latina. A Latino to Stavans is a person that is "Spanish-speaking.. living in the United States." Though i refer to myself as a multicultural person, Dominican and French, people point me out as simply Latina. There's nothing wrong with classifying me as that for the fact that I am. To me this comic book is formative and funny at the same time. For one he does say in a way that Latinos basically don't have a saying in what they do or say because they are in "American" territory. What people don't seem to understand that a Latino person isn't straight up a Mexican. Mexicans do take up most of the Latino population in the U.S but that doesn't mean that people that look Mexican should be called Mexican (I know from experience). All Latinos have different heritage and way of living, the same way that languages have different pronunciation and origin. I consider myself a Latina, always have and always been.
