And seriously, no one cares that you're Mexican and there's no reason to point it out.
Join the ranks of anonymity and form your persona based on your personality rather than say, your distant ethnic background.
Aside from that, Hi.

This from the Cantankerous Canadian? The "One Mexican..." bit is something of a running joke among our group. Goes along with the "Hey, you got any 3.5" floppies, man?" bit. Neither of which you'd understand unless you'd been there.

You think I picked my title?
And if it's a running joke in your group, cool. Good thing this group (EC) knows all about that joke then.

The EC group does know about it, I just explained. Now be silent!

That's cool that you have your own group, with its own in jokes.
That's not EC, though.
Well?
oh and these guys are right, real life inside jokes don't convert to an internet message board with completely different people. They just sound stupid and make little sense Caid '5 Fists' Berrit fucked around with this message on 01-28-2005 at 02:06 AM.

There's not anything special about anything. I guess I can see what you mean since he claims he's the "ONE mexican to rule them all" and he's like not even Mexican at all, but everyone needs a shtick. 
Fake Mexican is a shtick too, I suppose.

Thank you, Waisz. EC is far too homogenous, the fact that no one can adapt to an inside joke that was explained is evidence of this. Incidentally through much tedious and heinously painful research, regardless of Johnny's perceptions, we discovered that he is, in fact, second generation Mexican born in the States. All this to say he's a fucking American and doesn't give a shit. Johnny says as I type this "Chicano style bitches." </rant>

Inside joke - being there + explanation of joke = annoying and unfunny
Hope that helps.

He said fourth. If your parents came from mexico, ok, I can see you calling yourself mexican, but if your great, great, GREAT grandparents came from mexico, uhm, no.

Yeah, because distinguishing ourselves due to ethnicity in a sig or whatever is clearly the best way to establish ones self as a personality.

A) Nobody "adapts" to an inside joke. "He's the one Mexican to rule them all!" "I don't see why that's funny." "It's an inside joke. If we say it enough, you'll learn to love it." "Oh, okay."
B) We've been over the whole "Why doesn't EC ever conform to the newbie?" It doesn't work that way.
C) As Liam pointed out, basing your entire personality around your ethnicity is absurdly lame. Even if you don't live up to any stereotypes, just running around screaming "LOL I'M MEXICAN/AMERICAN/CANADIAN/JENS" is pretty silly.
D) Shut up.
