Many?? In my experience from growing up Anglo in Northeren NM, most of the local Hispanos, who I suppose correctly consider themselves the descendents of the Conquistadores, pretty much loathe "Los Pinches Mojados".

I know my sister-in-law's family from Abiquiu certainly does. Try calling them Mexican and you'll have a real fight on your hands. They're "Spanish".

My good buddy from Cordova once told me: "We only let the Mojados come here so the fat chicks can get laid too".

That's been my experience since moving here. Woe be unto he who calls a long-time local a "Mexican." I learned that long ago when I was a kid, and I didn't even grow up in NM.

You owe me a keyboard!

Seriously, I grew up in southern CO where the local Hispanics were mostly descendants of the original Spanish, and very classy and mostly well-off.
