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.

A latino born in u.s.a whose parents were born mexico, central america, or south america also known as latino american.

A really unnecessary title given to an American Born person with Mexican Parents.
This title further ostracizes the Mexican People and further ensures the teasing of said people.

still in debate about it being only mexican americans and being all latino country descendants. I think that it should not be only mex-ame because why do they have special nickname and the rest dont.
in our school there is a crew that are called "Los Chicanos" and there is a people from different latino country descendance and no one tell them anything about not being chicanos and they all speak spanish which i think should be what really matter in being a chicano or not, not where your parents are from.
