In order to examine this series of fights, a look at the history of relationships between Mexicans living in Mexico and Mexican-Americans (Chicanos) should be undertaken, Chacon is a Chicano, being born and raised in California. Limón is from Mexico.
It should be noted that Southwest states like Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada and California were actually part of Northern Mexico before the United States took over those areas after the Mexican-American War. When the United States took over the states that border with Mexico, Hispanics predominated the area. As a consequence, many Mexican families abounded. When the United States took possession (Arizona and New Mexico became states in 1912), the children of Mexicans who lived in these states became, legally speaking, Mexican-Americans.
Later on, other facts to be taken into consideration also took place. The coming of the Hollywood era, for example, should be taken into consideration. Being that Hollywood is in California, and the movie making industry made Hollywood an affluent city, many Hispanics, both Mexicans and Hispanics from other countries, were lured into trying their luck in California. Early Hollywood films, however, were responsible for a racist term used towards Mexicans: the term "greaser", an insulting word to Hispanics, was first used in the 1911 movie "Tony the Greaser", followed by 1914's "The Greaser's Revenge" and 1918's "Guns and Greasers".[1]
