That's true, and most of the Chinese assimilated into Mexican society quite well over there. You'll see a lot of people who are Mexican in appearance but have Chinese last names e.g. Wong and Chan. The Chinese food in Mexicali is considered to be the cream of the crop in all of Mexico.
I live in a private community 130 miles west of Mexicali right along the Pacific Ocean called San Antonio del Mar. It's about 30 minutes from San Diego.
Now you see why that imbecile,
@Banchan, has been calling me Mexican all these times. Not that I'm offended by it - I've grown quite accustomed to the culture here and speak Spanish on a conversational level.
For the record, I'm an American of Korean descent. Born in NYC, raised in LA.
