Why doesn't someone ask Rudolfo Anaya? His 'Sonny Baca'
character is the great grandson (?) of Elfego? In the series,
Sonny Baca definitely identifies himself as a Mexican
American. I would venture a guess that Elfego considered
himself Mexican (by heritage not by nationality) as people of
that generation did.
However un-politically correct as it may seem, all of my
friends call themselves Mexican and are very proud of it.
This is a cultural designation unrelated to
nationality.
Cheers,
