n. pseu-do-mex-i-cism
1. To pretend to be
Mexican.
2. To suggest or imply you are of
Mexican decent when, in fact, you are not.
From the words pseudo (meaning false or counterfeit; fake) and
Mexican (meaning a native or inhabitant of Mexico).
Malinowski is of Jewish and
Polish origin, therefore if someone of this name was light skinned with blonde
hair, claiming to be
Mexican would be pseudo-mexicism.
