[That... honestly makes him feel warmer and fuzzier than it has any right to, her wanting something just because it's a part of him, his family and heritage. He bows his head at her urging him to, then smiles into that kiss as he holds her close and enjoys the feel of her lips on his. She's so goddamned good, he can't work out how he got this lucky.
About to hop on that bike next to them so they can find their camping spot, he's stopped by her question first, and chuckles as he lets his arms fall to where they end up looped loosely around her waist.]
It's a rude fuckin' thing to call someone, is what it is, unless they're using it to make fun of themselves. Every now an' then you get these asshole Mexican tourists who might say it, though. Like me, I'm pretty fuckin' pocho. My accent's wrong, sometimes I forget words, you know. So it's one a' those things they'd say to try an' put guys like me down, like we're lesser than them 'cause we're too American. But fuck 'em because I'd rather be American anyway.
[He shrugs, then rubs her back as he pulls away to help her onto the bike, then hops on himself.]
People are assholes for the dumbest reasons, that's all there is to it.
