Tucson, Arizona has a Mexican American community. Tucson was majority Mexican even by the early 1900s; it had originated as a community in New Spain.[1]
According to Rodolfo F. Acuña, author of Corridors of Migration: The Odyssey of Mexican Laborers, 1600-1933, as of the mid-1800s wealthier Mexicans in Tucson had a negative attitude towards poorer Mexicans, and Acuña stated that the class division facilitated exploitation of lower class-Mexicans by non-Mexicans. At the time some members of the community criticized those who made attempts to assimilate into the U.S. by calling them "agringados" and "americanizados".[2] The ethnic European population increased by the 1870s, and members of that community had conflicts with the Mexicans.[3]
