Definitely...I really don't think that most of the people on here commenting actually get out that much in this day in some areas that they comment about. Seriously. I'm out a lot and I see a lot of different people hanging out in some areas now. Yeah it's not like that everywhere for sure, but some areas it definitely is. I am convinced that some people who comment about this basically take what they knew 10 years ago and think it still holds today.

Clean cut?

That's an enormous understatement. I'm not sure some of them even go into the city at all.

The Euro ethnic working class gets on very well with the Mexican working class, very open and familiar. Most people I know like and admire Mexicans; up here many simply consider them another ethnic group, like Poles, Irish, Lithuanians, Italians etc. No big deal.
Yeah, that does seem very common. My best friend's dad is half Mexican half Polish (his parents were both immigrants) and her mom is second generation Irish. She's from Hegewisch originally.

I'm still confused by the statement seems to be saying a Mexican looks more Mexican if they have more facial hair.
