2. Impact of Mexican Culture on U.S.
In 1994, there were 26.4 million Hispanic Americans living in the
Continental United States: 64 percent Mexican Americans, almost
11 percent Puerto Ricans, over 13 percent were from Central and
South America and the Caribbean, almost 5 percent were Cuban
Americans, 7 percent classified as "other." An additional 3.7 million
were Puerto Ricans living on the island of Puerto Rico, bringing the
nation's total Hispanic American population to over 30 million.
Although Hispanic Americans live in every part of the United States,
they are more heavily concentrated in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico, New York, Puerto Rico, and
Texas. Mexican Americans. Today, while the majority of Mexican
Americans live in urban areas, significant numbers comprise the
three agricultural migrant streams that flow from the south to the
north across the country, often twice annually.
Historically, Mexican Americans have been both
an urban and rural population. Since the 1600s,
Mexicans were the first Americans to establish
homesteads in the territories that became
Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and
Texas. Since before the turn of the century,
Mexican Americans literally built the great
southwestern cities of Los Angeles, San Diego,
Tucson, Albuquerque, Dallas, and San Antonio.
Also, in the 1800's, Mexican American workers
participated significantly in the massive industrial
expansion in the midwest, from Kansas to
Michigan, by building the railroad systems and
steel mills. Few Mexican American families,
however, received formal education. As Mexican
Americans began to attend public schools in
significant numbers, starting early in the 20th
Century, students faced discrimination due to
language, socio-economic, and cultural barriers.

3. Mexican culture is marked by the influence of Mayas, Aztecs and
Iberian communities. Spain had colonized Mexico for 300 years and
therefore, has a great impact on the culture, customs and traditions of
this country. The United States too, has influenced its culture to a great
extent. These influences have been reflected in the customs and
traditions and mixed culture of the country. Let us find more about the
culture and traditions of Mexico.
Mexico is a Latin American country. It has a complex culture
reflecting the various phases in the history of Mexico. The Mexicans
are proud of their country, culture and lifestyle and try to preserve it as
much as possible even when they are living anywhere other than
Mexico. The Mexican Americans however don’t have to make much
effort as the neighboring countries have quite a lot in common. So, the
Mexican American culture is a blend of the culture of both countries,
while distinctly being Mexican. This cultural blend stands out amongst
many other ethnic groups living in the USA.
Cultural Influences
The Mexican American culture shows many influences of other nations. Particularly the
Spanish influences are quite strong. The American culture has also crept in them to some
extent, so have the religious influences.
