Aztlan: The Great Lie!

For some Latinos, the concept of Aztlán as the place of origin of the pre-Columbian Mexican civilization has become a symbol for various Mexican nationalist and indigenous movements. The name Aztlán was first taken up by a group of Chicano independence activists led by Oscar Zeta Acosta during the Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Despite evidence that Aztlán is merely a mythical region, many racist Latinos and Aztlán separatists are promoting Aztlán as a real socio-political movement.

Racist Latinos and Aztlán separatists are in desperate need of an education. Unfortunately, many ethnocentric groups like MeCHA, LULAC, La Raza, MALDEF, as well race-baiting purveyors in schools and universities fail to address Aztlán's mythical status. Instead, they equate the Palestinian/Israeli conflict to that of the US-Mexican border. Prior to the Spaniards settling the Americas, much of the mythical region of Aztlán was sparsely populated with indigenous Indians. The USA rightly acquired the lower 48 in the 18th century. Any dispute of sovereignty needs to be taken to the UN, which is what some pro-Aztlánists aim to do.

Fast forward to the modern world. The great Aztlán lie is that, although they claim to want their homeland, their true motive has nothing to do with land and territory! They are solely trying to mooch off infrastructure, social programs, and tax dollars afforded by the US government. Whole towns and villages in Mexico are becoming ghost towns because of mass illegal immigration into the USA. The wealth of land and natural resources in Mexico and Latin America is sufficiently abundant. Japan, England, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, South Korea are all smaller in territory but out perform Mexico on the international market. Aztlán isn't really about establishing a mythical homeland, but instead it's about trying to feed off the resources provided by the US government, NOT their respective governments.

If Tijuana, East Los Angeles, Nuevo Laredo, Ciudad Juarez, etc. are any indication of what happens when cities are controlled by racist Latinos and Aztlán separatists, it's in the best interest of the USA to remain under US control. We Latinos, at La Raza Racism, know very well that Aztlán separatists care nothing about the Asians, blacks, Arabs, and whites. They only care about their own ethno-centric ideology, and no one else!

The greatest irony demonstrated by racist Latinos and Aztlán separatists is that their only languages of discourse (Spanish and English) are NOT even indigenous to the Americas. The next time you meet up with Aztlán separatists, be sure to ask them where the English and Spanish languages originated.
