Hey!! If you're Mexican-American/Latino/Chicano/Hispanic/otherwise associated with or know a lot about or are from South America, mind helping a brother out?

I have a character who is US born who's parents immigrated from Mexico. He's very proud of his Mexican identity, and I'm not sure how he would identify - if it's Latino, or Chicano, or just plain Mexican-American.

(Also, any tips on Mexican culture, especially Mexican-American culture, would be very very much appreciated.)
  








Daddy Long Legs are more closely related to crabs than spiders and somehow the idea of crablike creatures with spider legs that have escaped the entrappings of the primordial sea and now crawl over land and can walk up and down walls and ceilings creeps me more than I can adequately describe.
