From "Chico and the Man," we have CHICO. From "Barney Miller," we have CHANO. Put 'em together, kids, and what do they spell? No, not CHICOCHANO. CHICANO.<br /><br />The media aren't controlled, no, not at all (sarcasm).<br /><br />Btw, the date of Chano's leaving "Barney" is 1976; and Prinze Sr. shot himself in 1977. A fellow conspiracy scientist might investigate those years and see if there were any related coincidences then.Davidhttp://david-passingparade2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-90163891109771923262013-02-12T22:12:01.007-08:002013-02-12T22:12:01.007-08:00AFAIK no one lifts the lid off hell because of &qu...AFAIK no one lifts the lid off hell because of "the chink in your armor."<br /><br />Maybe the reason is that Asians tend to have a respect for literacy?Davidhttp://david-passingparade2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-35537051973082684402013-02-12T18:08:18.043-08:002013-02-12T18:08:18.043-08:00I like the "chicanery" theory above.

So Chicanos were left to adapt to their new country without a lot of input from the 'homeland'.<br /><br />We the resumption of mass immigration in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and then the amnesty of 1986 and it's aftermath, most of what was uniquely American has simply been swept away by purely Mexican culture. The situation now is more like mass movement of language and cultural frontiers (with isolated Anglo islands), rather than an isolated 'ethnic' population. In short, the expansion of Mexico and Mexicans across the border swamped Chicanism.<br /><br />I thnk the Garfield=Roosevelt football game is still a big deal, however. stari_momaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-41489755294823785092013-02-09T01:15:11.436-08:002013-02-09T01:15:11.436-08:00"Anonymous said...
