<p>Before people get the wrong Idea of this question, let me explain.</p>

<p>I come from a very mexican centrel coast community, and I am absolutely 100% Mexican, but for all intents and purposes, I for some reason have adopted a "white" lifestyle, despite living with a very traditional family, because of this, I speak almost no spanish AT ALL, and I don't really embrace my culture compared to other people, because of this, I don't enjoy listening to any spanish music at all (whether it be corridos, ranchera, or reggaton) I prefer more surf rock and ska myself. I am considered a "pocho" among certain groups of traditional mexicans.</p>

<p>So my question is: How open minded or "traditional" is the Hispanic student body at Oakes? Will I be fine, or will I be an outcast?</p>

<p>TLDR : WHITE WASHED MEXICAN WANTS TO KNOW IF HE'LL FIT IN AT OAKES</p>

<p>Most Mexican tendencies disappear after the first generation.</p>

<p>My advice if they aren’t cool then go somewhere else.</p>

<p>If you like to surf I am sure you will have no problem find friends at Santa Cruz.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, It’s just that I hear people saying that oakes is the place to go, but I don’t want to be miserable there, thanks.</p>
