• "In the eyes of this mall's planners, a typical Mexican family consists of: a man dressed in full charro gear (hat, tight trousers, matching bolero jacket and a huge belt buckle;) a woman in a maid-style apron (check out her mandil) who is probably someone's maid, and a preppy kid in shorts and cardigan who probably goes to school in the "right side" of the border and wants nothing to do with the other two."
