first of all to be considered a "valley girl" you need to be from the valley, I'm from Orange County, coastal county in california. Majority talk like me here in california....not just valley people. BUT if you've ever been to California you'd know that the valley is a small community made up more so of peeps in the adult entertainment field. SO i am FURTHER south and coastal for that.

second, i learned that i cannot call myself a mexicano because mexicano's are mexican's born in mexico and raised in the states. I can't be called chicana because a chicana/o is someone who's parents were born in mexico and the kids were raised here. so i don't fit any of those catergories as my parents, grandparents and great grandparents were born here. so my type (rare) is just considered mexican in nationality or latina.

enlightened? elaborate enough?
