A "burrito" is American, not Mexican.


You don't follow syntax too well do you?

Only if it is understandable.

I was offering an example of how someone not born of a culture could
subsequently be classified as acculturated by their acquired tastes as
you claim to have been.

It is hard to follow syntax when you say such things as the clumsy "mestizo
del Americano Indígena" and such. "Soy mestizo, mezcla de indio
norteamericano con francocanadiense" makes sense, not what you wrote, which
is Babbelfish quality.

...and yes a burrito is a chicano creation sold primarily in America,
but almost exclusively at "Mexican" eateries.

Actually, it appears, much like Chile con Carne, to be an American (and not
"Mexican American") creation inspired in Mexican cuisine.

An LA radio station's morning personality had billboards that said, "El
Cucuy es raza" meaning "Cucuy (the guy's nickname) is one of the common
people."

The PR billboards might say that the bogeyman is one of the commoners,
but his morning jock salary belies that.

As a second follow up, more seriously: he came to the US illegally. He
worked as a cement and mortar carrier in construction in Fresno. Moving to
LA, he continued to work construction, and became an unpaid sidekick to a
morning show on KTNQ in LA, contributing character voices of central
Americans (he is Hondureño). He was finally hired by José Liberman of KWIZ
in the 80's, and Liberman paid to do the legalization of his residency. It
took him over 20 years to get where he is now, working free for the first 4
or 5.

Whether he has money now, he is definitely of the people. On the other hand,
trying to pretend that a Honduran is "raza" failed, even with a $1 million
dollar ad campaign. Ten words out of his mouth, and it is obvious he is not
and can not be raza.

And the ratings are extremely accurate in measuring who gets listened to
where. The fact is, very few listeners tune in distant stations. And,
unless
radio takes some positive steps, the stations will cease to exist... and
then there will be no interference at all, which might make you happy.

Since most of my BCB listening is devoted to DXing,
I always confuse the survey folk who call from Beltsville, MD
when I state one of my favorite stations is KKOB (770).

In the recruiting call, they "ask" about your favorite stations to "warm you
up" to survey taking, to show how easy and "fun" it is. They actually do not
record ANY of this... it is just a preamble to get you to accept
participating in the survey, which is written in a booklet and takes a week.

Oh, Arbitron has not been in Beltsville for about 25 years. It moved to
Laurel in the late 70's, and then to Columbia over 15 years ago.

Not that I care about its programming, but that it's such a tricky catch
in San Diego right next to KFMB (760). I have to use sync-detect.
I also wonder what weight my opinion carries to the surveyors when I
often tell them I'm in the 30+ year old upper class demographic, yet
listen to WWV more hours a day than any other station.

Since what you say verbally is not recorded, all they are doing is letting
you get into thw swing of things. Even if they recorded it, someone else
would edit the data and use a lookup tool to determine the validity of the
data.

FWIW: Commercial stations all suck
and the bands would be better off without them.

Which is why 94& of all people 12 or older listen to radio each week, and
the average person spends around 20 weekly hours doing just that.

Our two current FM pirates, FRSD (96.9)
and RadioActive (106.9)
are the best San Diego has to offer.

The folks at 106.5 are aware of RadioActive and have triangulated it and
presented a complaint to the FCC with the full data.

I had a concuño Catracho once,
his Centro American spanish was more like NYC Borinqua than Mexican.

A. It is "Boricua" and it means "puertorriqueño" and is not a dialect or
accent.
B. There is no similarity at all to to the Honduran Spanish accent.
C. There is only one Spanish.
D. There is no Central American accent. A Panamanian accent is as different
from a Guatemalan one as the English of Mobile, AL is from that of Leeds,
England.

Anecdote. I was consultant to the station that had El Cucuy many years ago,
while working at stations in Puerto Rico. I got cassettes of the show to
critique. I would play them in my office, where my staff would come and go,
shaking their heads, saying, "what is that? I can't understand a word." It
was, of course, the Honduran Renán Almendarez Coello, El Cucuy, and the
Boricuas could not understand him.

BB,

Go into most American Fast Food Restaurants
and they offer some form of Burritos :
Taco Bell
Del Taco
El Pollo Loco
Jack-in-the-Box
BurgerKing
McDonalds
Carls Jr.
etc . . .

duha - i think i will stick with the classics and
order 30 tacos from jack-in-the-box ~ RHF

Did I actually say Brenda is my kid? or did somebody imposter me again?
or maybe I was drunk again.Brenda most certainly is not my kid.
I dont have any kids,,, not that I know of anyway,but who knows?

Sounds almost akin to chop-suey (basically a slop made out of leftovers
that was concoted in an American restaurant).

Whoever came up with burritos and meat & chili, thank you! I don't
care. It's got meat, beans, and a side of rice.

How can you go wrong?????

Thanks David, now you got my mouth watering. :-D

What is really funny is when a Mexican American who has grown up in the US
goes to Mexico... someplace in the hinterlands... and finds that they have
no burritos and think you are asking for a cooked baby quadruped. Or the
Tejano who finds that Chili is more prevalent at Wendy's (sans the side of
fingers) than in Mexico.
