It obvious that people of the spanish/latin/hispanic/ whatever they are referred, has issues regarding who's better! This is really sad to me... But since I've been in Southern California, not long, as I am a South Beach Babe, MIAMI, it seems that the issue of the day is in fact about Mexicans.. That's why I made the reference about the majority of the population in CA were Mexican... I was not categorizing anyone! I was speaking specifically! Being from the East Coast, the issue of the day is not about Mexicans, Mexico, the boarder and all these issues that seems to be a daily conversation around here! But nevertheless, the word Oni is Yoruba anyway! African! So I am glad for the clarification for myself, and once again, my most sincere apologies for the mix-up....
P.S. And as far as always being assumed "Mexican", I'm sure it's because you live in California! Trust me, step outside of California and I bet you a million dollars you won't hear that! Noone is remotely thinking about Mexicans outside of the states that border Mexico! And I am not saying this in an offensive way! But it's true!

oh my bad i miss understood sorry
