Interesting article. I had no idea that 250K Mexican Americans identified themselves as black. Yes, I've heard of "blaxicans," but I always thought they were biracials with one black and one Mexican parent. My nephew's cousin is blaxican.

I learned in high school (African American History class) how a lot of slaves (Southern) ran to Mexico instead of Canada due to the fact that it was closer.
