Determine the type and the function of EMs: …“I got a nice little Indian girl down in Torreon”, began the other man. “Say, it’s a crime. Why. She don’t even care if I marry her ore not! I-“ “That’s the way with ‘em”, broke in the other. ‘Loose! That’s what they are. I’ve been in the country seven years.” “And do you know”, the other man shook his finger severely at me. “You can tell all that to a Mexican Greaser and he’ll just laugh at you! That’s the kind of dirty skunks they are!” “They’ve go no pride”, said Mac, gloomily. “Imagine”, began the first compatriot. “Imagine what would happen if you said that to an American!” Mac banged his fist on the table. “The America Woman, God bless her!” he said. “If any man dared to dirty the fair name of the American Woman to me, I think, I’d kill him.” He glared around the table, and as none of us besmirched the reputation of the Femininity of the Great Republic, he proceeded. “She is a Pure Ideal, and we’ve got to keep her so. I’d like to hear anybody talk rotten about a woman in my hearing!” We drank our Tom-and-Jerries with the solemn righteousness of a Convention of Galahads. “Say, Mac”, said the second man abruptly. “Do you remember them two little girls you and I had in Kansas City that winter?” “Do I?” glowed Mac. “And remember the awful fix you thought you were in?” “Will I ever forget it!” The first man spoke. “Well”, he said, “you can crack up your pretty senoritas all you want to. But for me, give me a clean little American girl”… (J. Reed. Mac-American)
