Maybe you can break down the most Scottish States along with the most Scottish part of the State. I got my suspicions on it but I may not be accurate.

I was getting scared there after #4 was mentioned but #3 not bad shout out from the 505/575 area in Nuevo Mexico pocos pero locos y que Viva La Raza.

Central and Southeast Washington State is primarily agricultural. Moses Lake, Pasco, and Yakima have huge Mexican American populations. Great food. Huge Cinco DeMayo. Some pretty farms.

Great video!

It is a VERY Mexican holiday just not Independencia or Revolucion. Basically, they kicked the French army out of Puebla and won in 1862. Write your own joke here. By then it wasn't the same France that helped the US against the British crown and way past the Napoleon glory days.

I live in Los Angeles, born in guadalajara, just went to puerto vallarta & by far los angeles has the best Mexican food in the US & even other Mexican regions. This is beacause of all the Mexican people from different regions that live in Los Angeles.

Shout outs from ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXICO

I think Arizona has the best Mexican food, especially in Tucson. California Mexican food a close 2nd. Yum 😋

Sounds like u have a Mexican regional food preference. Arizona's Mexican food mainly comes from the Sonora Mexican state region south of Arizona. That region's Mexican food is a little different. Its heavier on flour with breads and flour tortillas and less corn and chile pepper influence. For example, their menudo and pozole are clear, not red from chile peppers. California might be more central Mexico, but u find it all in California.

Yessss, bring it

I'm okay with this. Hispanic Americans are one of those groups that are very underrated. A lot of conversations I've had with them were positive. Almost like I was a part of their family. Instead of another nobody on the street.

Petition for Briggs to make a video on Felon Friendly States or just Ban the Box states in general.

It's nice we have such a strong Mexican-origin population in Colorado - too bad it isn't reflected in the food. I'm in Colorado Springs and still hunting for the good stuff. I welcome recommendations.

Facts

I’m glad you cited that Mexico owned a great portion of the US land. So it’s no surprise that Mexican descents have been in the USA for many generations hence why there is a strong connection with the neighboring country.

As soon as I was in Idaho I went to leave a load with my trailer from NV Laredo Mexico, something very remote

Please give my regards to your Mexican wife - I believe you did mention in a previous video that you had a Mexican wife, don't you? You covered this subject very intelligently and compassionately, thank you. It really came as no surprise to me that the top 4 states on this list were all the states that share a border with Mexico. Or that all three West Coast states had a large Mexican population. Let's see - California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas were all once part of Mexico and New Spain, I believe. Heck - the last four digits of my cell phone number spell out the year that the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed!

I’m Mexican & a Brooklyn native! So I’m kind of shocked New York isn’t on the list although getting older, I’m releasing that I’m a rare breed lol!

Spain went into the Philippines and now Filipino people are part Spaniard in Filipino we had Puerto Ricans and Cubans

This is still meshika land buddie all of those states you named is still Mexico regardless of them who colonized them.

Well I'm not sure if it would get the views but I will tell you it will be Utah, Oregon, California. Souther California has a huge population of Samoans. Up here in Portland we have a large Micronesian population along with Hawaians. But, I read some years back San Diego has the largest Hawaian population outside of the islands.

As a black and Mexican boy myself i can say there is no doubt here, in fact the most states i stayed the longest was CA and AZ and been to TX, FL, CO, IL, TN and it was a whole journey

Excellent video, and what I'm about to say isn't a knock on Briggs. It's a general observation regarding how the US categorizes ethnic groups. Only in the US is "Latino" considered ONLY Latin America. The rest of the world isn't so ignorant regarding ethnic groups. Latino is a form of "Latin" which refers to any people of Latin Language Origins (The Romance Languages) which would include all the Latin American peoples as well as people of Italian, Portuguese, French, Spanish, and Romanian heritage. For example, saying an Italian (in particular) isn't Latin is like saying a Lion isn't a member of the cat family. That Italian's Roman Ancestors spoke Latin. You can't be any more Latin than that. SMH.

@@KamBar2019 It's not "my" explanation. That's Sociologists and Genealogists explanations. To answer your question, a Brazilian is indeed Latino. The Filipina with a Spanish surname is not. She is Asian. She is not of Latin blood because she did not originate in the lands of Latin or Latino people which are the countries I mentioned. I can change my name to Sven Karlsson and start speaking Swedish but that doesn't mean I'm a Scandanavian.
