I lived near and worked in New York City and it's surrounding boroughs for 30 years, and next to San Antonio for the next 32. I like both cultures, eating regularly at both Chinese and Mexican restaurants and talking with the Chinese in the New York-New Jersey areas. I relate better with the Mexican people, as I integrated a lot more with them living near San Antonio and hunting in Mexico. All Mexicans aren't low rider car enthusiasts, which anyone would know if they actually lived around them awhile. I lived, worked and worked out along side many who became friends. I would say both cultures are proud cultures but I lean more towards the Mexican in that regard. You have to remember, what you think about things that happened back in America and Mexico aren't the same as when you were back there decades ago. Most things are pretty much the same, but with the times, some things modernize. Human needs and wants stay much the same, but with modern tools, things became easier. Cultures are all equal as far as worth, but some are different as far as how they treat women and individual liberty, as can be seen both here and in the Middle East.
