The other terms used such as “Chicano” are very politically laden and

Bruce Novoa: “A Chicano lives in the space between the hyphen in Mexican-American”

I refer you to Wikipedia which has a decent discussion on the etymology of the term Chicano and its connotations:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicano

The Spanish version of the article is interesting since it provides a very different perspective of Chicanoism… i.e. has a bit of derisive tone especially in the use of language by Chicanos…
