Getting Lost In The Milieu

Merriam‑Webster

Define milieu: the physical or social setting in which people live or in which something happens or develops.

Getting lost in the milieu  happens all of the time, to a lot of people. It happens to a whole lot of people, this is where the "Heinz 57" label comes from for some folks when you ask them about their nationality or what their background is. It happens for several reasons:

Distance from home base, wherever it might be.
Not liking your background for one reason or another.
Persons actually working at changing their background.
Living in a different cultural environment. Can be close or far, it does not matter.

New Mexican Hispanics are the group I usually watch and see the changes coming and how they reflect on our community in the present, the here and now. 

In all reality is has never been static, not now and not ever.

This is where the Genizaros (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen%C3%ADzaro) come from and this is where the Genizaro went.

This is where New Mexicans who have mixed have gone, to one degree or another.

Not that it really matters, it is just something that happens and is always happening.

The reason for this weblog is my attempt to inform and help some who might be interested.
