[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Horemheb: [b]here in Texas we have many mexican cultural adaptations that go back as far as the 18th century, that does not make us mexican. As is usually the case when people have a limited education they tend to over simplify. [/b][/QUOTE] There is a clear distinction between Mexico and Texas (language, religion, life styles, currency, etc) even though they are directly adjacent and share significant gene flow. For example, the Texans are fundamentalist Baptist (bible belt) and the Mexicans are primarily Catholic. The language is clearly different and so is almost every aspect of the culture. I understand what you mean about over-simplification but again people caught up into the politics of race often try to over complicate the obvious to obfuscate things to promote their political agenda. It is really not that complicated of a topic. How African was the AE culture. I don't claim to know the answer but from what little I have seen it appears to be quite African and not like anything else outside of Africa. If what you mean is that I have little education on the culture of AE, that is true, would you mind providing some actual facts or at least an observation. The Texas/Mexican thing was rather in poor taste and I don't see how that analogy works because I don't hardly even notice the so called Mexican influence in Texas (accept in Mexican neighborhoods). When I think of Texas I think of the good'ole South (Cowboys with Six shooters) and realy good cooking (BBQ and black eye peas) and of course the Alamo. I don't think about Mexicans. I can't imagine that someone from the outside looking at historical artifacts from Texas, religious makeup and social structure is really going to notice Mexican influence. And even if they did, Mexico and America do have a common European origin so the culture is probably rather close anyways. [/QB][/QUOTE]
