An American (or Canadian) of Latino descent, mainly Mexican. This refers to Latinos who base their entire identity around Mexican "culture" that was developed through American TV shows, movies, music, pop culture and slang. Most of them are unlikely to speak Spanish and will often use programs like Google Translate to communicate with native-born Latin Americans.
Similar to Plastic Irish, they've never visited the home country their ethnic origins originated from and merely just identify with a flanderized/glammorized version of their parents or grandparents culture. Plastic Latinos mainly draw their influence from Black and Native activist groups, those that originated in the latter half of the 20th century. Most of them believe in the La Raza ideology which pushes to reunite the Southwestern US with Mexico and in some cases, the Midwest, Rockies and British Columbia as well.
Plastic Latinos can be found commonly in Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey and more recently in states like Idaho and Utah. They also exist in major cities too like in Chicago or NYC.
