bills_fan Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Apparently, there is a term with which I am unfamiliar..reconquista...meaning that eventually Mexicans will make up such a proportion of the American Southwest that they will try to return that territory to Mexico. Anyone know anything about this whole concept? Absolut Vodka has decided to play on the idea with this ad below that they were forced to pull over the weekend. The ad apparently ran in Mexico, stirring a bit of nationalism. http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/04/absol...reconquista-ad/

They forget that Mexico sold the US the land. I see ads for a Spanish radio station "La Raza" 95.9. La Raza= The Race. If a station played all heavy metal and called itself the race, there would be riots.

Most of what the US annexed goes well up in the middle of the western states of CO and WY... ??

I guess if you called Absolut like many self righteous angry Americanos have you are given a recorded message explaining the company's stance and no apology. Good for Absolut for ruffling feathers.
