People avoid speaking about race in the presence of another racial
group for fear of saying something wrong and creating friction.
This was not the situation at JB's, a small Mexican cantina located
in one of Houston's oldest Mexican barrios. Mexicans made up most
of the regular patrons, but a small number of whites also visited
the bar on a regular basis. This situation created the
circumstances for race talk in which the Mexican patrons attacked
and criticized the white patrons because of their whiteness. The
white patrons likewise criticized the Mexican patrons, but their
remarks were not as strident in comparison to those they received.
When Tatcho Mindiola visited the bar and heard the race talk, he
realized that it was a unique situation. He thus became a regular
patron, and over a three-year period kept notes on the racial
exchanges he observed and heard, which form the basis of this
insightful volume.
