Levi Johnston’s Mexicanness Reported In GQ
14 June 2009, 6:00 AM. By Cindy Casares

You know that GQ feature from two weeks ago that was WIDELY reported all over the media because it had pictures of newly revealed Mexican Levi Johnston posing shirtless? Turns out the guy who wrote the accompanying article disclosed Levi’s Mexicanness in it. But obviously, NO ONE READ THE ARTICLE, so it took your ace reporter to discover it from Mario Lopez on Twitter yesterday. Now that it’s out, we learn that Levi told GQ that it’s his dad who is “Mexican or half-Mexican or something.” That fuzziness on the details is the author’s–John Jeremiah Sullivan–and, presumably, not Levi’s. But at least that solves the mystery about where Levi’s dirty Mexicanness comes from.
Also interesting is the reminder we received from Transracial that Levi’s ex-girlfriend (the one he left for Bristol Palin) was Lanecia Garcia. Looks like Levi was keeping it in the family until that suelta Bristol came along. Now that she’s kicked him to the curb, he’s back on the chili pepper train. Reports GQ:
It’s safe to say Levi’s type is a well-put-together petite brunet with strong mom qualities and a flirty side. Maggie [Rodriguez, the CBS reporter who interviewed him and whom he has a crush on] was a Latina Bristol, a Bristolita, and Levi had already mentioned, in this connection, that his dad is Mexican, or half Mexican.
Look, we’ll draw the stereotypical conclusions if you don’t mind, J.J. Anyway, mystery solved. Levi’s dad Keith Johnston is Mexican, or half Mexican. And the religious right’s hope for 2012 is complicit in the Latino New World Order. We are happy.

Cindy, eres una monster, in the best sense of the word. Amazing how Mexicanitos stay warm up there, isn’t it? Tu la traes.
*curtseys*
Bwahahaha! What the hell was his Mexican father (any Mexican really) doing in Alaska? Working at the fisheries? And why is this coming out now?
I feel sorry for all the Mexicans and Chicanos out there who now have to welcome Levi, who’s dumber than a box of hair, and the Palins as “family.” Damn.
Wait, aren’t we (the average Latino) considered “dumber than a __insert fav word here___” by certain white Americans? Hm, maybe Levi will fit in just fine.
Note to self: Don’t feel sorry for Mexicans when they’re made fun of for being less than impressive academically. Payback’s a bitch!
Dumb as a box of hair, but beautiful, shiny, black hair.
Why don’t you read my comment below, this pathetic boy and the palins are like a bad show of jerry springer with those crazy ****ers. get the point? that’s more than an innuend
To the Author: Levi is what he is, a white under-educated dumb male, it comes from that “white trashiness” and not Mexicanness.
Last time I checked, Mexican Americans embraced the briliiance of people like Alberto Gonzales (former US attorney general), Jose Hernadez (NAZA astronaut), the current Secretary of Interior, Labor, and Education (all Mexcian Americans), and the many other professional men and women in the US.
Levi is a wannabe, but I doubt he knows what the hell he is. And our people don’t go the Alaska shit hole, our people are in the Southwest!
Cindy,
I guess you’re trying to be funny, but your posts are degrading.
Levi is part Mexican. OK.
Why are you trying to make it seem like something bad? Lots of whiite people are part Mexican: Lynda Carter, Anthony Quinn, Catherine Bach, and many more than are too numerous to list. Big deal!
Why don’t you guys get some self-estem and stop being so embarrassing.
