On this episode of Style Out There we travel to Zacatecas, Mexico for the women's-only sporting event on horseback called Escaramuza. This sport dates back to a historic period in Mexican history incorporating elaborate dresses and large sombreros. Press play on this week's Style Out There to explore how politics plays into this historic sport!
ABOUT SERIES

Correction-- sexist sport. Why can't men participate?

@ubaldomartinez3318 5 лет назад

Stephanie Lloyd I wouldn’t necessarily say this is a sexist sport since the charreria sport is male dominated. In this specific sport, men participate in nine events and the women only participate in one. This is 2019 and inclusion is imperative, but don’t see this specific event having men involved.

You sound so mature for someone so young! I hope that you never lose sight that you are who/what you are because of the risks your parents have taken to afford you and your siblings more opportunities, and that there’s always opportunities to pay it forward. Don’t stop at helping those immediately around you. Keep working hard in school, so you can one day help your community. We need every single bright, hard-working, self-motivated child to be an educated force of change for the better.

@AngeliqueFelice 5 лет назад

2:15 "What does it mean to double down on your heritage when lots of people are telling you to leave it behind?" This phrase resonates with me so hard for two reasons. 1) I'm Mexican American and I had no clue about this sport. I was raised SO whitewashed growing up in El Paso because of the shit my parents and grandparents went through growing up, but now as an adult, I'm trying to hard to re-connect, learn the language, and understand what my ethnic background means to me. 2) I like the timing of this video after the "Chicana culture in Japan" video and it reaffirms my outlook on the existence of that Japanese subculture. I don't see people of Japanese nationality shitting on my culture like non-Mexicans shit on it in the US - my home country. Therefore, I'm fine with their appreciation of my subculture. But if you're gonna talk shit about my offrenda in November but use calavera makeup in your next "beauty influencer" IG post, then that's the problem.

@knightawz 5 лет назад

@nicholasrivera9280 5 лет назад

Angelique, if you were born in the United States you are an American. It is perfectly fine to be proud of your Mexican heritage like I am but to say Mexican-American as if you are different from any white person who was born here is foolish, no white person says "I'm European-American" because of their ancestry, they're American just like you and I. Be proud of your roots but don't put labels on yourself that makes you feel like you aren't fully apart of this country.

you're words completely resonated with me. I'm Mexican-American but I feel like been so whitewashed too. I grew up in the middle of nowhere in a small fishing town in Alaska where there was basically no Hispanic.

I hope some day you see the beauty of the state.

@pixieinpink0795 5 лет назад

My mother was born in Zacatecas but raised in California and one thing I thank god is my grandparents never ever let us forget where they came from. I was fortunate enough to go back every single summer as a kid. I lost both my grandparents in 2018 and I went back to that house in December, we now talk about selling that house and the pain that brings is unexplainable because that house in that small village in the middle of the Zacatecas desert 🌵 is full of memories that we will never relive... if you take anything from this go to Zacatecas get to know your culture, your people your food... and yes YOUR don’t continue to be cheated from all that beauty that belongs to you 😍 just a humble tip from a super proud ZACATECANA AMERICANA 😘

@xochitlsancheznochebuena223 5 лет назад

I consider myself to be a Zacatecana, although born in Chicago. My family comes from generations of charros. My parents ranch had two lienzo charros and another for jaripeo before we even had cement or asphalt streets. Seeing these women overcome obstacles that one can only imagine to practice this sport is inspiring. When I think about how hard it is to find 7 other like minded women who will sacrifice time and dedication to the sport without the accessibility to the tools is amazing. Your team is more like a family that you devote unity, loyalty, and integrity to. ¡Felicidades, que orgullo! ¡Arriba Villanueva! ¡Arriba Zacatecas!

@Dustin Heath Daniel is right on this one .... Mexican were the first cowboys, vaqueros.... which was the word the Spaniards used to describe the first native Americans (Mexican) on hores back. Mexicans we're the first to steal (aquire) this "sky dog"....the exact definition of it was, native American warrior on horseback.

@electralux007 5 лет назад

The part about parents relying on the kids as a personal translator really resonates with me. I work in a children's shoe store in Fort Myers FL and I always try so hard to speak exclusively Spanish to my customers that can't speak English. A little girl told me once that she gets so tired of having to translate but she knows it's her job... and that made me feel so shitty. I always feel stupid when I speak Spanish because I feel like I mispronounce everything but I try so hard... if I can do something to make a kid feel more like a kid, I'll happily butcher my high school lvl Spanish lol

My grandmother fled Nicaragua when she was just 16. She lied about her age so she would be considered an adult and allowed to enter the country. I do not look anything close to Hispanic. My father’s coloring very much reflects his heritage, but I look more like my mother - just another pale American with European ancestors. But I remember being young, with a dress like the ones featured in this video gifted to me by my grandmother. I remember her telling me about the family she left behind there, the coffee farm confiscated by the government, her worry when tensions grew worse, the annual trips she would make and the money she would send there. This video made me reevaluate my cultural heritage. And I think it’s high time I ask my grandmother for more stories about what her life was like there, while she’s still around to ask. So thank you.

@Aphorim 5 лет назад

You forget the most important factor: History. It's quite easy to speak of love and tolerance when Mexico is "so far from God and so close to the US". Our history has been bloody, cruel and most ironically filled with betrayal from "brothers and sisters". Hence the word Malinchista.

@BrightElk 5 лет назад

I'm glad I watched this video because it helped me understand where Mexican Americans are coming from when they don't speak English. I wish I had learned sooner. Not that I hated them for not speaking English. It was more of a misguided concern I suppose. I thought "their life will be more difficult the less English they speak." But I realize now that that is their choice and it's a part of their identity. If they feel happier speaking Spanish or that it is just easier and helps them relax then that's what they should do. It's not our place to decide that for them. I wish I could apologize to my old friends in San Antonio. But I can only hope that they knew what was in my heart.

6:56 "It can feel dangerous to celebrate being mexican just with what's going on in the United States right now." - As an american I think it's shameful there are people who contribute to this state of hate and racism, especially against mexicans all due to the politics brought on by Donald Trump, a lot of people are freely, shamelessly and unjustly displaying racism at its best. How sad. 9:45 The tender way she looks at her grandfather, is, in another way, a tender way to look at her roots, her culture, her not forgetting where she came from, a shown respect of what she is.

What a wonderful way to showcase just one single thread of the wonderfully complex and colorful fabric that is Mexican culture; informative yet touching, exotic yet relatable, and above all, very human. Thank you so much for the very dignified and respectful way in which you have presented this tiny part of my Mexican heritage to the rest of the world. Much respect and love for you, and the wish that life gives you what you give to others.

This was very well produced. My family is composed amof charros and escaramuzas. My two cousins have won the Nationals several times and travel accross Mexico and the US to teach teams. I always wondered about those teams in the US and this documentary is a good window.

I’m chicana and i carry on my heritage with my accent. Most people tell me where in Mexico I was born and I’m always correcting people that I’m from East Los Angeles California. I honestly speak more Spanish if anything because my mom speaks Spanish. Is an honor to have Mexican culture in me. Everyone want be like us honestly that’s why most girls get tans lol We’re mainly woman that never gives up and know how to cook and maintain there family.

I’m from Zacatecas but moved to the US when I was 3 and had never heard of this sport it was so shocking to click on a video and see my home state from Mexico be the focus but I love it!!!

2:26 do you ever relate to Mireya? Mireya is part of both cultures that share her/soul . Above culture there is the unique nature of person that absorbs everything around them and views of others. Sometimes if you absorb without caution you will be shape and will be lost to an identity that was impose on your will.

That man said "do you have papers"? I would've asked him the same thing. "Your not speaking english this is America" ummmmm exactly, so why are you speaking English? I don't understand. Mexicans have more reign to be here in America than a lot of others when regarding history.

Many leave for a better education, better job, better opportunities. This isnt just mexicans but people from all over the world. Just as the first settlers that came to james town to seek a new land of opportunitys, many others soon followed. Even the european whites were being discriminated against by americans. Culture is essential because it reminds you who you are. Taking that away just dehumanizes you.

Im from Chicgao and my mom is from Zacatecas. This amazing and as a child, i remeber going to Jaripeos and wanting to ride horses and wear those dress. Now, I'm interested in learning more about this sport. I want to try it out. Ive been to Zacatecas twice

What stunning women, inside and out. As an woman who left her home country (France) 20 years ago and having lived in the UK, Australia and the US - where I met many positive and negative prejudices, I totally relate to their need and dedication to conserve their dual identity. You go, girls!

My name is Floriza Arevalo, I was 9 years old when my father bought me my side saddle in Guadalara, Jalisco. We Las Angelina are the 1st Escaramuza in United States and California, we went to the Congreso. Nacional in Cuidad Juarez. I am so proud to see your story, it took 40 years for the Federacion Nacional De Charreria to recognize our group, with the help of Jose Luis the Pua at the time. Congratulations a beautiful flower has emerge from the seeds we laid.
