Being Latino in America |
being latino in America
I was disliked for looking WHITE by my own people. When I was younger many mexicans in the barrio fought with me almost daily bcz they assumed I was a WHITE kid in the neighborhood.They did not know my father was from Mexico. I did learn that mexicans from both sides of the border dislike White people and Blacks. The one thing that really annoys me is Mexican-Americans in California hate latinos south of the border(Mex. Col. guata. etc.) and vice versa. Bcz I look HUERO(WHITE) and enter latino buisness's they make a point to try and communicate in broken english. Ironically I Speak, Read and Write in Spainish. When I speak spainish to them they are surprised that a WHITE man can speak their language, they do not know I am Hispanic/latino. When I was growing up, if U brought a BURRITO to school for lunch, U were made fun of, Now there's Taco bell or Del Taco. I still see our own people fighting each other and I tell them keep doing what the HUERO wants U to do. Be stupid. Or get smart and take care of each other.
