I found maybe four names that could be Mexican. Most of them were good old rednecks -- you know -- Joe 6packs
Most Mexicans don't have names like John, Adam, Tommy, Ryan, Grant, Jennifer, Karen ......
As for DRUNK DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, that would be my next door neighbor who DOES NOT WORK, LETS THE GOVERNMENT TAKE CARE OF HIM, OH AND HITS THE LOCAL PUB AS SOON AS IT OPENS AND WONDERS HOME AROUND 3:00 PM. HE'S A GOOD OLD REDNECK! The Mexican who lives down the street -- WORKS!
