Well, it seems that I hate Mexicans. Imagine that! I was talking to a friend and it turns out that they think I hate Mexicans. How does that work? I'm Mexican American! Anyway, supposedly they're more Mexican than I am. I may tell bad Mexican jokes and jokedly subscribe to the Mexican stereotype, but HELL, I fit the stereo type. I degrade Mexican Americans because of my jokes, she says. Well, we all know that the stereo type is wrong. I've broken that mold by graduating and many other Mexican Americans have done the same, time and time again. The reason I don't like to speak Spanish is because I hate letting people know that I can't speak it correctly. I try. I do my best. Anyway, I've always heard that the Pri created those stereotypes that this person seems to hate. Funny thing is is that her family supported the Pri. I hope she was joking. There's a lot about Mexican history I don't know. What I do know are the stories that my family passed on to me. What do you think? There's things I can hide and being Mexican American is not one of those thing I WANT to hide. I don't know. This person threw me for a loop. Caught me off guard. Do I seem that type?
