as explained as my chicano history teacher: chicano is a mexican american that was born here, with mexican parents born in mexico. but a chicano is a well educated, well informed, part of the chicano community that strugles for equality. Chicanos feel that they could transform society by organizing around what many call Chicanismo.
Chicanos had to unite around their culture and change society by working to resolve Chicano-specific problems.
