Guess you could call it that.
I guess born Mexicans probably dont care to be called "chicanos" the same way i dont care for the term Zoe. I was in Costa Rica in 2015 and was chilling with these chicks. All tourists. One of them was obviously latina and i asked her where she was from and she said "Mexico"
to which i said "
ahhh la chicana!"
and she corrected me and said "
No papi. Mexicana!"
. Meanwhile my mexican jumpoff of 10+ years now refers to herself as a "chicana"
