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.
