Just How Do Mexicans Propose Marriage? by Gustavo Arellano Dear Mexican: Why does every Mexican rap/hip-hop track constantly retain the words, “No paramos,” “Nunca paramos,” or various other statement that is logically equivalente.g. “Siempre avanzaremos,” “No acabaremos de seguir,” can you really order a russian bride etc.)?
