Do you get offended if white people throw a Mexican themed party filled with the usual stereotyped clothing and whatnot?

Anybody a fan of mariachi? What would you recommend as an example of the best the genre has to offer?
The only marichi song is the first one, the rest are cumbias lol.
My aunt lives in Monterrey, NL and tells us not to visit as it's too dangerous. Is that true?
I doubt it.
I love it, even knowing the first song is the only mariachi one! :P Thanks for sharing.
Thanks as well! I am gonna plug all of these names into Spotify and YouTube.The best mariachi csong writer was Jose Alfredo Jimenez, but the best singers are Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete both from the "golden age" in Mexico's cinema and a more modern one could be Vicente Fernadez.
Its a cultural thing. My mom would not want me to visit Mexico after Trump was elected as she was afraid they would not let me back into the country for x or y reasons. They really like to overblow circumstances around.My aunt lives in Monterrey, NL and tells us not to visit as it's too dangerous. Is that true?
Not OP but am also Mexican plus lived there for 5 years finishing up middle and high school.OP, what is the deal with the speed bumps (topes)?
they are so damn brutal

Food question: The chorizo available at my job is the kind that is not pre-cooked, comes in an artificial (probably plastic) casing tied with metal that you have to take off before using. What would Mexico ERA say is the best way to cook it? Whole, ground, etc? Cook as-needed, cook in bulk then refrigerate, etc?

Do girls still celebrate their quinceañera? I occasionally see a whole gaggle of teenage girls in what appears poofy wedding dresses here in California, and am shocked that this is still a thing. Does anyone else get kind of creeped out that parents basically are saying that their young daughter is a woman at 15?
I don't mean any offense, and am trying to understand the culture.
exactly what I thought, its stupid how they think it will actually take the "problem" away.It does not bring any benefit to Mexico. Illegal inmigration will continue to happen because cheap labor will never be rejected in the US, and will find a way to happen no matter the restrictions.
Yes they do. Tough I know some parents that have the financial resources for that kind of party sometimes ask their daughters if they want the party, or use the money it would cost for a single gift.
