Hey there. I found very interesting the video clip "America" from "West Side Story".
I just wanted to share with all of you that there is a Spanish word to refer people like Anita. This word is the adjective: MALINCHISTA, call after "La Malinche". It works as the antonym for CHAUIVINISTA.
For further information click on:

I also have found quite funny that there is no such a word like this in English language. Maybe the more accurate one would be: "Unpatriotic" :-)
We can also learn Spanish, don't you think so? X-D
Hi Pedro,
