The American Southwest - New Spain

[[VΩiD] SoKAftH]

Their reservation may as well be a town, and it would be if it wasn't for boatloads of cash the state gets, so they do whatever to keep the Reservation Indians in Oklahoma happy. If you were serious about this New Spain idea, the Navajo reservation is right smack dab in the middle of the states that would be part of New Spain. The primary language being Spanish would be welcomed by the Navajo

The idea is more to assert the regional identity as it is now as Spanish than to change it to be more Spanish. That way it can integrate various cultures and unify as a sort of bloc in a productive way. Also, the rest of the country can keep a separate cultural strain. All the interesting ingredients that make a region just happen to be in the Southwestern states; all that awaits is seeing them all be connected.

Tejanos

Tejano identity is an essential key to making the New Spain idea work. Claiming the Tejanos are part of the successors of Spanish days of old builds towards a greater Hispanic-American identity, and salting its culture with a codified history of cultural independence would make it a tentpole of American society.

This actually goes for the entire Southwest region + Oregon/Washington as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints aided in the founding of various villages, towns, and cities inside and outside of Utah.

A lot of places have an LDS history, including both San Francisco and Las Vegas, as well of course as the Midwestern region they originally dwelt in. The Southwest generally fits in with the rest of the country as having a minor presence. Utah of course is unique.

Southwest people are ruder than north east people and live in fucking deserts, worst region by far

The issue is Tejanos are Texan first and feel no affinity towards Spain, and identity as their ethnicity as Mexican despite seeing Mexicans south of the Rio Grande as subhumans, only the mountain Mexicans in Northern New Mexico larp as Spainards and they hate Texas.

Beyond that the Hispanic population in the rest of the Southwest are new immigrants who overwhelmingly immigrated to the region after it became part of the United States.

For example in California the present day descendants of the pre-1848 Mexican and Spanish population only number about 500,000, whereas currently there's over 12 million Mexicans in California now with the Californio identify being like the Spanish larpers in New Mexico.

That's why the most obnoxious Mexicans in the United States are California Chicanos who are Mexican peasants who came to California the past 150 years to presents.

Here I will elaborate why:

We have the best landscape and the worst people, both native and imported.

If you were serious about this New Spain idea, the Navajo reservation is right smack dab in the middle of the states that would be part of New Spain. The Navajo would fit a spic dominated region. The Navajo even has the highest population, just recently beating the Cherokee. And surprisingly the Navajo generate some serious cash, so there is the regions cash cow. They even have a lot of history with Spain. The primary language being Spanish would be welcomed by the Navajo, since they preferred Spain over the white man. Last but not least they have Native political presence, in not one but three states.

Navajo reservation is the largest chunk of land in the country where you can't (legally) purchase alcohol, so that's a no-go.

"New Spain" is actually completely separate from old "Spain". It was the name of the viceroyalty in Mexico for 300 years. I think when they changed it to the current name they fundamentally altered the nation itself. The argument is that because Texas upheld the Spanish land claim, they also upheld the old "New Spanish" national identity at variance with the reforged Mexican nation - not at their fault either, as their claims have been tested and 100% upheld.

The only people larping as Spainards are the mountain mexicans in New Mexico, nobody else gives a fuck.

The fact that they migrated to the United States must be emphasized as a key distinction between them and the countries they come from.

Spain is a shit country not to be emulated.

Nevada is a beautiful state outside of the gambling cities.

Brown people are the same whether they are in South America or north America. This cope about how much Hispanics here totally hate the ones down south is nothing more than cope. At best, they're fooling you. Demographics is destiny. If there are exceptions to the rule, they're goddamn outsiders and not the norm. This country really is cucked.
