Why is it that many working class hispanic people in the US are embarrased to listen to American/foreign music?
I’m hispanic so I see this alot. My relatives, friends, laborers I see, and meet and that i have worked with. Even though they live in America and could easily tune in to any station in the radio, they always put on the Spanish language radio stations.
Do they hate English, or whatever other foreign music OR is it that they are embarrased to show that they like music other than their country’s music?
Here are some examples of where i see this happening
=Guy that cleans carpets and car carpets.
=Car mechanic
=gardeners
=Hispanics having parties at parks or in their homes
Again, I’m not talking about Hispanic americans who were born in USA and were raised here, or hispanics who immigrated but are taking english classes or what have you and do take an interest in American culture.
I’m talking about working class latinos that have lived here for years but still identify mostly to their own culture and speak mostly Spanish.
I know it may be different in other places (I’m in CAlif) and that it may vary from person to person but for the most part, and from my experience with many laborers and working hispanics(mainly mexican hispanics) that’s what I have noticed.
