Just because I own and am proud of my identity as a Chicano doesn't mean that I have to be okay with being fetishized for it. I would rather have a guy who likes my identity and not likes me for my identity. There's a difference.

Occupied America, the book specifically says "kill the gringo". edit: (pg. 323) it was a quote.

It says things like capitalism should be destroyed, etc.

It constantly talks about the evils of the "gringo" or the "gringo establishment", etc.

Take a look:

Here is the book: http://www.amazon.com/Occupied-America-History-Chicanos-7th/dp/0205786189/

Also, another book is "Chicano Manual on How to Handle Gringos" by Jose Angel Gutierrez, a guy that said that chicanos should kill all the gringos.

"We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him"
