While Ralph Nader's run for President this election isn't as problematic as it has been in elections past, alot of the focus is on his running mate, Matt Gonzalez, and yes as his name betrays, he is Latino.Matthew Edward Gonzalez was born in McAllen, Texas to a Mexican mother, Oralia, and Mexican-American father, Mateo. Gonzalez spent his first four years in San Juan, Puerto Rico.He has a history as an activist lawyer and ran (and lost) for San Francisco Mayor.
Gonzalez said about his childhood in South Texas: "The Mexican-American–Latino–Chicano culture in California is different than my experience in Texas. I grew up in a town that is majority Mexican and Mexican-American. In McAllen, we didn't refer to ourselves as Latinos or Chicanos. We referred to ourselves as Mexican. There's a different feel in that border area.
