Dear Readers: Many of ustedes must be scratching your heads right now. “What happened to ¡Ask a Mexican!” you’re preguntando yourselves. “Who the hell is this cholo nerd where the Mexican logo used to be?”

It is I, gentle cabrones: your eternal Mexican. Gustavo Arellano, child of immigrants from Zacatecas, one whom came to el Norte in 1969 in the trunk of a Chevy driven by a hippie chick from Huntington Beach. And I’m triste to say that this columna is coming to an end. Ustedes probably don’t know this, but my day job during the life of ¡Ask a Mexican! was at OC Weekly, an alternative newspaper in Orange County, California, where I was born and raised (don’t believe The Real Housewives of Orange County: there’s a chingo of raza here). I started as a staff writer, then became managing editor, then was editor for nearly six years until October 13, when I resigned instead of laying off half my staff, just like the Weekly’s owner wanted me to. No me rajé, and I’ll never regret quitting my dream job because I know I did the right thing.

But with me leaving the Weekly, I also must leave behind ¡Ask a Mexican! See, I don’t own the trademark to the title, and I’m can’t pay muchos pesos for something that the Weekly’s owner (or the ones before him) should’ve given to me as a gift for 13 years of being the hardest-working Mexican this side of Beto Durán.

I thought about continuing under a different name (¡Ask a Pocho! ¡Query a Mexican! ¡Pregunta, Pendejo! But then I realized I don’t have to continue the column anymore. See, I’ve been to el cerro. And I’ve seen the Promised Land of Aztlán.

It sure doesn’t seem like that at a time when millions of our friends and familia are at risk of deportation, when Donald Trump wants to build a border wall (man, where’s Alex Lora when you need him?) and when gabachos keep mistaking Día de los Muertos for Halloween. But we’re now at a place where whip-smart humor is at the touch of a meme. Where our political and economic power continues to soar like voladores totonacos. We live in an era where everyone can be a defender of la raza against gabachos, whether said gabas assault us or try to claim Rick Bayless is great.

In other words, ¡Ask a Mexican! is no longer necessary, because Mexicans have won a war that began when Sir Francis Drake sunk the Spanish Armada. We’re here , y no nos vamos. We’re victims no longer; we’re actually chingonxs. And the sooner Mexicans realize this, the better we’ll be.

ORDER IT NOW

I’ll let others debate whether my attempt to fight racism with satire and stats was visionary or just vendido. I’ll still answer questions about Mexicans on The Tom Leykis Show on the last Wednesday of every month at 4 p.m. (tune in to blowmeuptom.com), because doing so keeps my mind Julio Cesar Chavez sharp and not Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. soft.

But in print, no más. Besides, let ¡Ask a Mexican! die, and let its passing join the pantheon of gabacho atrocities against Mexicans, like the U.S. stealing half of Mexico or Rick Bayless.

I wish modern-day journalism allowed me more print space, so my thanks must be brief. Gracias to: friends, Marge, family,my chica; All the papers that carried my columna over the years; Santo Niño de Atocha; Will Swaim; Daniel Hernandez. David Kuhn. So many more.

Nos vemos, gentle cabrones. Follow me on social media to see what I do next, and hook a compa up with bacanora! No se rajen against evil. Diga no a la piratería ¡Viva la Reconquista! Oh, and #fucktrump

    Gustavo,

    I have to admit that your column has never been first in the heart of this countryman, but I profited from it. How? Well it provided me with an insight into the thinkings of my Mexican-American countrymen. Of course only after suffering through your slap-dash sophomoric humor.

    And maybe in retrospect it was only just a plot by Ron to broaden the minds of his card-carrying Paleoconservative readers.

    But anyway my sincere best wishes for your next endeavor – GOOD LUCK!

    Good riddance to both you and California!

    You were the racist as a spokesman for the masses of illegal California immigrants who flash mobbed the US border. You refused to assimilate. You brought your Mexican identity with you and kept it, becoming yet another internal demographic hostile to the idea of the United States on the model of Afro-Americans.

    You did everything to make California another province of Mexico. You succeeded due to open borders and the raw numbers that made the crossing in a thinly veiled Mexican Reconquista. Now, 43% of the people in California do not speak English at home; 20% do not speak English well if at all.

    Adios to you … and viva Calexit!

    Achmed,

    I saw the phrase, “…he understands just a little, no comprende, it’s a riddle…” in your post and I immediately flashed on the source. Loved that song and that band. Let’s hear it for the 80s, a time when genius musical nerds like Stan and company could find a place in the sun. I was just thinking about this album the other day, but since my wife & I just recently moved, my original vinyl and turntable are not available. Your post made me go to YouTube to seek out the whole Call of the West album there. Don’t know which cuts are my favorites, there are too many from which to choose.

    Thanks. Now back to work cataloging newly-arrived microfiche of Congressional hearings for our collection here at the Law Library at Rutgers/Camden, but inspirited by this music.

    Hey, JJ, thanks for this. I will listen to the whole thing when I can. I had always just thought of these guys as a one-hit-wonder band, and the video sure helped as that was in the days when MTV didn’t suck (that sure is dating myself). Bands back then spent time on these things, and I always remember the guy’s face coming out of the pot of baked beans.

    How ’bout the drummer – this song doesn’t do him much justice, I’m sure (at least in video form), as all I saw is him hitting some type of percussion thingy about once every 3 seconds – nice work if you can get it!

  23. I have to admit that I stopped reading your Q&A about a year ago. I just couldn’t deal with your racism and anti-white bullshit. Furthermore, with most of the questions you didn’t really even answer them, unless you consider a snarky sneering kind of thing with a few mexican slang words thrown in for extra confusion an answer.

    You’re a pretty weird cholo. Just because there is a chingo of la raza in your county doesn’t mean much of anything unless they assimilate out of Mexican culture and into American culture and then? What’s the point of you?

    By the way, I’m sure you know this but not sure you’ve ever mentioned it (though you should have mentioned it in every single column you wrote): Mexicans hate the fuck out of chicanos. They think they are phoney pinche pochos and that’s obvious from Mexican film and culture.

    I am truly sick of entitled chicanos acting like they have the keys to the kingdom that us humble gabachos will never ever acheive. It’s the same nitwitery that you see with blacks. Both races at last in the US appear to have confused attraction to certain cultural artifacts, music, styles, slang, with envy and submission, or something.

    Hey I like what Mexican culture has brought to American culture, I like what black culture has, too. But I’m not beholden to la raza or black people. I wouldn’t want to be ever either.

    We freely assimilate what we like about all cultures. That’s America and always has been. Except with blacks and chicanos that apparently ain’t ok. There is a hard core Mata Todos Los Gringos vibe that underlies every thing about chicano culture. And it’s racist.

    And it’s prideful. And it’s stupid.

    I have a collection of chicano mural art from my degrees in Hispanic & Spanish Literature and Chicano Studies. Most of it comes from Cheech Marin’s multi-million dollar collection. Frankly? Most of it is insipid. Mexican mural art is far far far far superior.

    Let’s put it this way. Good riddance. Maybe you can take a little time to be less orgulloso with your bad ass self. Vete.

    The two parties have those reasons you state, WSBIIC, which is why they work in cahoots very well on this issue. It is some serious bipartisanship action, both stupid and evil. However, there is a bit more to this on the top end. The globalist elites that really run things in the this country, the heads of the big corps, the Soros’ and almost all of the 0.01% – ers – those types just feel in their hearts that they’d be better off without the middle class, especially the white, middle class we have had for a century or so.

    It irks the elites that there are people who could compete with them for the best places to live, have entrepreneurial ideas that could complete with their global businesses, deal in their own real money perhaps, and form associations built to fix the system (which they don’t want fixed.) They would like to live in the 3rd world, as the rich, of course, not the peons. They need to import people that are “cool with” (the other end of) the 3rd world. That’s the real back story behind this.

    Mr. Gustavo Arellano Rodrigues Sanchez Ramirez Gonzales here, of ex-Ask-A-Beaner is just an effect of the work the elites have been doing for 5 decades running. He’s probably not a bad guy, but 30,000,000 of him is no good. Just due to the numbers, these guys are no longer your father’s illegal aliens during the day of the Frito Bandito.

    No, he’d be second, maybe even third tier. Top-caste Mexicans are not readily distinguishable from native northern Spaniards, except that they don’t tend to speak Castilian. (It is astonishing how long this has persisted.)

    Come to think of it, this may be why he may have a prominent chip on his shoulder for La Raza (assuming he’s serious), which is decidedly all about half-castes. One must have hobbies, I suppose.

    Senor Arellano at least turned his hobby to the amusement of others, and however ridiculous his opinions about stolen land blah blah, and however often his column failed to quite scale the loftiest heights of comedy, I will miss it, and except where he may be aiding the continued invasion of California, I wish him good luck.

    It is to the point now where one can NOT GET a job in retail without the ability to speak Spanish.

    AND I hear IRL, not just on the internet, this “stolen land” meme.

    One last thing, I witness an accident years ago where the driver and passengers were speaking pretty good English to those of us helping until police arrived and then not one person in the car could speak English. I alerted the police officer of this as I was questioned and he just rolled his eyes and mumbled “that’s how it works in these cases”.

    so, most immigration bills have a speak English requirement and I think that is a total waste of time as there is no reason what so ever to learn English in California.

    California is being balkanized the better to control us my dear, said the Big Bad Wolf.

    An even worse fate awaits us. Many of the better high and middle schools require the kids to take Mandarin. I guess the administrators know who our next overlords will be. The language in my California neighborhood is English and Persian depending on age of the speaker. 15 miles north of my neighborhood the languages are Armenian and English depending on age of the speaker.

    5 miles east the preferred languages are Russian and Hebrew.

    There are some good things about Mexicans or Latins. They tend to be reasonably honest small business people.

    Best response to the “southwest belongs to Mexico” c**p is to ask, How many years did Mexico rule Texas? A. 14 years. How many years did Mexico rule California? A. 26 years. They mostly don’t know the exact number of years. So you can add that America’s ruled those states for 181, 169, whatever years.

    But the best thing is to try to not have anything to do with them. Saks, Nordstrum, Boomingdale’s and the more expensive stores still want English speakers. Gas tax was just raised 12 cents a gallon.

    Spanish is not merely one of 80-plus languages spoken in California, but the clear number two and gaining on number one every year.

    Spanish will become an official coequal language of government and later, education, in California even if it stays in the USA nominally. Not happy about it, but we live in Cali and it is coming.

    “Mexicans have won a war that began when Sir Francis Drake sunk the Spanish Armada.”

    A history of success and failure in language education:
    Cortez teaches the Aztecs to speak Spanish 1521
    Spanish Armada fails to teach the English Spanish 1588
    English Armada fails to teach the Spanish English 1589

    My point is if the English Armada was somehow successful (it was as poorly conceived as the Spanish)
    Spain would have had a major calamity in the Iberian peninsula to deal with. Spain would not have been able to reinforce her colonial possessions, so a possible Aztec reconquest of their lands, perhaps in alliance with England, might have been possible.

    But then again Mexico and the Aztec Empire are unrelated and even opposed to each other, so maybe Mexicans have won a war that began when Sir Francis Drake sunk the Spanish Armada.

    Even that 30 million number does not jive…that was the number of illegal aliens being talked about during the 2008 Presidential Race…by all sides….then….shortly after the Great Divider was elected…that number dropped to 11 million…for the entire dreary 8 years of its’ incursion….and all the while it was massively importing locos gatos from south of the border by the millions…and quietly importing Mohammedans from points East across the pond.

    So, HOW MANY illegals are now resident in the US of A??? North of 50 million?….and a good number of them voted in the 2012 and 2016 Presidential Election….oh, yes. At Barry Soetoro’s Public insistence.

    Where are the calls for justice on these many injustices.

    Interestingly…the “children” being brought into the USA from points south of the border over the last three years of Barry’s reign…were largely very much adult men…this is the very same dodge used in western Europe…with the importation of Adult Male Mohammedan’s. The very same liberal Progressive Global Communists’ in control of the Bureaucracy and the Media Propaganda Horn…on both continents. Yes, pobrecito’s…save DACA. Imbeciles.

    I tried to end things on a positive not, but this thread keeps going. Gustavo, I heard you on the Tom Leykis show just after you posted this column and you sound like a first-class nut. I understand that as a child of someone who entered the country illegally you have to justify the behavior, but you have zero understanding of basic economics, supply and demand. Increasing the number job seekers stagnates and lowers pay.

    Tom Leykis is having trouble keeping podcast subscribers. He loses as many as he gains. (LINK) He is joking but don’t be surprised if he can’t make payroll. (LINK) For some reason Leykis keeps retweeting negative left-wing posts about Papa John’s Pizza mistreating its workers (LINK) (LINK) , but sarcastically tells low-wage workers to move to Las Vegas if they can’t afford Los Angeles rents and one of the women in the article is undocumented with a family.(LINK) If you are going to pander and pretend you are liberal at least be consistent.

    If anyone is thinking about subscribing to Tom Leykis’s podcast, be aware that once subscribed you have to go through an employee to make any changes or unsubscribe. This reeks of desperation and potential problems.

    There were others, of course, who were wise enough to rail against the presence of any Mexicans at all, but they were shouted down by a subversive media. Others, still, merely tolerated the presence of Mexicans peasant arrivals due to greed or some perceived personal benefit. Yet, the real reason that so many are now here is because powerful interests have been staging the conditions for societal breakdown and unrest.

Daniel Horowitz persuasively writes that the president does indeed have executive power to end the mistake. And I hope that that is tried.

    The Soviet Union had a lot more to do with that. Something like 80%of all German forces were on the eastern front. Germany actually had won on the western front from 1940 to 44. The Americans just like the First World War, liked to wait until the Germans were already being steam rolled by Bolshevik forces.

    And the Americans only entered the war because of Jewish influence anyway, the States were busy fighting the Japanese.

    And yes,the United States had lend-lease for the Soviet Union, but material is useless without the men who used it. The soviets had giagantic factories and resources anyway. See the Mannheim conversation, or Irving’s books or Weber’s, or Stolfi’s or many more.

    If the Germans had not pre-emptied the Soviet assault on Europe, they would have got much farther west than Berlin, the allies were already deciding on whether or not to continue on the offensive against the soviets at wars end. They even postulated the rearming of many German divisions to go on the offensive, (operation unthinkable) followed by the horrific operation keelhaul. The second w0rld war was fought to bring down an economic and industrial power house that was Germany, a people who rejected Jewish internationalism and worked together as a people for themselves.

    You have a surface level understanding of the war. As General Patton regretted, he said they were destroying the finest people’s in Europe.

    What does fighting racism have anything to do with Americans being legitimately angry at an Establishment that has no respect for laws that are on the book?
    Migration isn’t a right. Illegally entering a country is, usually, illegal. Meaning prison.

    There are several provinces in Canada where economic migrants from Nfld (a Maritime province of Canada) were seriously resented in the past and, to some extent still, in the present. Let me guess: according to radical leftist philosophy this resentment has nothing to do with job losses but is “cultural racism” (both parties in Canada, to be clear, are white but have very different cultures and accents).

The Spanish would have gone all the way to the Arctic Circle if it weren’t for those pesky Anglos and French. They lost the Southwest. Tough shit, it was a fight and you lost, get over it. Had you made it all the way north, what kind of civilization would be there now? And if you succeed in your “reconquista”, what kind of civilization do you plan on building, assuming there’s anything left to build upon?
    But these are just academic questions now, we’re all pretty much toast. Local cohesiveness and resilience are just about gone throughout Western Civilization, “mere anarchy” is creeping in…Maybe I’ll be forced back to all-white territories if the “kill whitey” propaganda succeeds (please no, hell is an all-white school!) for a while, and when everything’s degenerated into tribal and sub-tribal starvation brutality and we are utterly incapable of cooperating and trusting each other with anything, someone (or some thing) will offer us each some nice hot food, all ya gotta do is take this little chip under the skin right here, attaboy….
    Divide and conquer.

    Yes the Southwest was recognized as Mexican territory by the US, and other European countries. However, it was not recognized by the Apache, the Navajo, and other Indian tribes. It was in reality mostly Indian territory, with a few enclaves of Spanish speaking people, who had no loyalty to far away Mexico City.

    Some people don’t know when they’re not wanted. Or don’t care.

    If I were to consider migrating to a country whose people were never allowed to vote on whether or not to accept large numbers of legal immigrants (much less illegal ones), and who (according to polls) would have said “no” if they had been asked, I would be quite humble in my approach.

    I wouldn’t throw my weight around with the people of that country.

    And even if that country had “stolen” half of my country over 150 years ago, I wouldn’t hold that against the people of the country today.

    Instead, I would assimilate as quickly as I could into the host country and leave my old flag behind me.

    But hey, that’s just me.

    Basic consideration of others just happens to be something I believe in.

    It doesn’t matter whether you or Mr. Ask-a-Mehican were born here. Fact is, you don’t belong here. White Protestants founded the United States. Not Mehican Catholics. You’re an ingrate, and you need to go. Our charity and patience has run bone dry.

  149. @Thedirtysponge

    Americans weren’t waiting for Germans or anyone else to do anything. Americans didn’t want to be part of either war, and shouldn’t have been. We had no natural reason to be a part of Europe’s suicide in the first place. That’s why in each case a casus belli was needed.

    And thank you for shitting all over the American sacrifice. A shitload of our men lost life or limb for a bunch of arrogant anti-American ingrates like you. And while you’re giving the Russians all the credit, you should know that they were kept going by American industry. Moreover, Americans had to project power to theaters of war on opposites of the world. That’s kind of a big deal, genius. The Russians were fighting in their own front yard.

    NoT really: Mexicans are actually in a great proportion descendants of mestizos of Spaniards and native Indians of various native origins.

    Ha, what a loser story! “Just a natural end to a cycle of writing stuff.” LOL. No, the reason that you quit your job is that you couldn’t do it any more. The reason that you quit writing your column is that hardly anybody was reading it. You’ll be better off when you face reality and stop trying to justify yourself.

    I learned Mexitalk which I need to know in order to deal with Jose, my gardener, who pretends he knows no english. (But that Jew with a foreskin knew what he was doing as he incrementally increased my charges from $75 to $450 a trip – but…you want it done right? No gringos doing that stuff, I’ve noticed)

    btw, what exactly do those gringo kids do to get all that money for $800 i phones and a car to drive themself to HS in? 5 Guys burgers are $10, not $1.50. Is this part of that 2-income household thing?

    So, it’s either a Jewsish person who you feel is overcharging you or someone who is blatantly breaking U.S. Immigration laws. Good reasoning bubb.

    Honestly a Mexican take-over would be beneficial at this point.

    Better food, much, much better women.

    Americans have got themselves to blame for the corporate Hell-scape full of tattooed, narcissistic whores that the country has become. They’re too soft and permissive with their women, indulging their every whim. The end result is a nation of disgusting narcissists that the men obliviously continue to indulge.

    You people created your own Hellscape by refusing to discipline your own women and your own ranks. It was only a matter of time until things descended to this point.
