Worse, some pocho kept picking morose arena rock in English and Spanish — Pink Floyd and the Doors, Enanitos Verdes and Caifanes — from the digital jukebox that drowned out the baseball broadcast.

In high school, he said, other Mexican Americans would call him “pocho,” a derogotary term, for doing things as innocuous as playing baseball, which he said other Latinos called a “white sport.”

The name-calling — labeling someone pocho, gringo or “too American to be Mexican,” for example — can often be passed off as cariño, or joking with endearment.

Another way is the language itself, a mezclando Spanglish one narrator describes as “our pocho mix-and-match Spanish we used on our side of the river,” a language pitch-perfect with sentences like: “Whatever, ladies, right, get over it, por favor. Why would the boogeyman want your feote kids?”

Most of them use a weird pocho neologism, with voiceover actors referring to Los Angeles as “L.A.,” even though the acronym sounds awkward in Spanish and isn’t really used by Latino immigrants.
