* In season 1, Cruz jokingly calls Emma a "new mestiza" in reference to Gloria E. Anzaldúa's ''Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza''. Cruz meant this as a jab to Emma's cultural in-between status as a Mexican American woman living in high-end Chicago. However, the autobiography also touches on the racial composition of most modern Mexicans. Emma, as white-passing as she is, is mixed European and Indigenous via her parents, so the comment could also refer to the fact that she is quite literally a mestiza.



* Mr.Sanchez's death is meant to be heartbreaking because he never got to see his granddaughter Elenita. However, considering the traditional Mexican patriarchal views he had imposed on his own daughter, and Johnny's inability to stand up to him, perhaps this was for the best.
