Chicano's - what is it?

I was born in Mexico in the 50's and I used to hear my dad in Mexico refer to other Mexicans as Chicanos. He told me it was a term of endearment (TOE) and like most TOEs in the Spanish language , they often take root as baby talk. Such as Salvador is Chavador or Chava for short. Merced is Meched or Meche for short. Marisela is Malichela or Chela for short. And Mexicano is Mechicano or Chicano for short. Nothing to do with being born in the USA or not. Nothing to do with Parents.

Is the man offering jobs a Chicano? In other words is he a "brother", one who can identify with my background as a Mexican. Nothing to do with him being born in the USA, or parents being from Mexico.

Chicano's

The word comes from an indigenous Mexican/Native word coming from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word for β€œnative.”

Here is a definition according to the scholastic Handbook of Texas:

"According to one explanation, the pre-Columbian tribes (Aztecs) in Mexico called themselves Meshicas, and the Spaniards, employing the letter x (which at that time represented a β€œsh” and β€œch” sound), spelled it Mexicas. The Indians later referred to themselves as Meshicanos and even as Shicanos, thus giving birth to the term Chicano."

Therefore, the term stuck to all Americans of Mexican decent. Sometimes, the word β€œChicano” can be applied to a Mexican national who was brought to the United States at a very early age and adapted the β€œChicano” lifestyle.
