Chinese communities in Mexico

Chinese success may have led to resentment in the past, but today children of Chinese immigrants embrace both their family history and the life they've forged in Mexico. CCTV's Franc Contreras reports how Chinese culture is flourishing in Mexico.

As a Latino, I never knew about this part of Mexican history!! That's amazing! The funny part is that I also have Chinese blood in me, yet I'm very ignorant of my own history. It's time to start learning!!

The typical female dress in mexico its based and was handmade for the first time to wear by a chinese princes who came along with other chinese immigrants who were loyal to their princess and most important their traditions. Our mexican typical dress is called "china poblana dress" it was handmade and embroidered by chinese immigrants in the south central state of puebla for a especial celebration or festival. Thats the reason we call it "china poblana dress" china which in this case refers to a chinese female and poblana which means a female from the state of puebla. Later throughout the years was used and adopted by indian, mestizos and criollos ( sons and daugthers of spaniards born in the New Spain or México) the use of this beatiful and colorful dress became so popular that it's now our typical dress along with the charro outfit or mexican cowboy outfit also used by musicians who are known around the world as mariachis.

Asian Latinos are very similar to American Asian. the only difference is that Latin Asians tend to talk more and like to dance more and fused their cultral with the Latin one. They still tend to stick speak mostly with Asians but they are more open minded in Latin america.
