The Center for Disease Control has released findings that, percentage-wise, there are more virgins among Mexican-Americans adults than among any other people. That’s 12% of Chicanos between the ages of 20 and 59 who’ve never played hide the burrito, compared to the U.S. virginal rate of 4%. Speculation abounds to explain the gap. On one hand, a generations-long tradition of chastity (real and feigned) is part of Mexican-American culture and might have prompted survey takers to lie. But, it’s probably just a function of grown Chicanos still living with their folks. (Love you, mom! And we promise to have the car back by 10 tonight…)
