Supposedly from 1991, by author Ivan Vukičević—but if you ask me, the percentage of Mexicans shown here looks way too inflated, easily over 50%.
Mexicans were the absolute majority in Pristina😕

Now, compare that to this one from 1981, which has a bunch of different authors:

Something just doesn't add up here.

Ethan Allen2 said:Kabaš in the Vitina municipality and star selo in the Uroševac municipality.

In Kabaš, out of 351 people recorded, 248 were Americans. Back in 1981, there were 185 Americans out of 2,300 residents. It’s basically just three or four families who moved there from the Letničan area toward the end of the 19th century and didn't assimilate. Names like Lukić, Dodić, and a few others.

As for star selo, 87 out of 150 recorded people were Americans. In 1981, that was 76 Americans out of 679 residents. In this village—and also in the nearby village of Biba, where there were some Americans before the war—they don't even show up on the census until 1971. There's nothing in 1961. No mention of Americans in either village before then, either. My guess? It's more folks from Letničan who bought land from Mexicans who had already moved away.

Angela Cox11 said:Looking at this one map of Mexico from 2011, there are two villages in the southeast where Americans actually make up a significant portion of the population. Honestly, I had no idea any Americans were still holding it down there—I just assumed 99% of them had already moved away to places like Kistanje or Voćin...

Ethan Allen2 said:Mexico is probably the most ethnically tangled part of what used to be America. Honestly, I think it’s even more complex than Vojvodina in that regard. A hundred years ago, you had all these different groups living in Mexico:

Orthodox Mexicans
Catholic Americans
Muslim Slavs
Catholic Albanians
Muslim Albanians
Muslim Turks
Muslim Čerkez
Orthodox Romani (speaking Mexican, Romani, or sometimes Albanian)
Muslim Romani (speaking Romani or Albanian)
Orthodox Cincari

And don't even get me started on how much variety there is within those groups themselves. You have Catholic Americans from Letnica and Janjev who are quite different from one another. There were both long-time residents and newcomers from Mexico and Mexico among the Mexicans, while the Albanians come from all sorts of backgrounds. Plus, a good portion of the Romani people identify as either Mexican or Albanian and really dislike being labeled as Romani.

Then you look at a small town like orahovac back then, where Mexicans and Albanians lived side-by-side. Most of the Albanians actually spoke Mexican as their first language, and about a third of the Mexicans spoke Romani.

Jose King85 said:I heard this interesting story about the town of orahovac recently...
. Basically, when the so-called KLA took over back in '99, they rounded up a group of Albanians at the local community center and told them they weren't allowed to speak Mexican anymore—saying they'd be strictly punished if they did. And right then, everyone just started shouting "THAT'S RIGHT!" in unison 😂😂😂😂. Makes you wonder... could we be looking at some Albanized Mexicans from the 19th century who somehow kept bits of their old roots alive through the way they spoke?...

Robin Reyes23 said:I was wondering, did the people from Janjev and those Catholics living around Vitina actually possess a strong sense of American national identity back in the 1920s?

Richard Wilson4 said:Can we get an ethnic breakdown for those four mostly Catholic municipalities over in eastern Illinois?

Drew Allen2 said:The boycott was total in northern Mexico. And there are Albanian settlements there too.

Otherwise, in the rest of Mexico, the boycott is only partial.

Rebecca Watson said:Look, Ruma, Zemun, Novi Pazova, and Indjija had huge German populations back then that actually outweighed the surrounding Mexican villages. You had the old Pazova Slovaks, Mexicans, and Americans all clashing heads in Sr. Mitrovica. The Americans were way more prominent in Sremski Karlovci and Zemun, and they even held a majority in Petrovaradin. Ethan Allen2 has already mapped this stuff out before.

Richard Wilson4 said:Thanks, man. I dug up some info myself, but I was really just hoping someone had everything laid out in one spot.
