I am a first-generation American. I speak English and Spanish I have experienced racism from everyone simply because I don’t fit within the expectations that come with my appearance I was never black enough because i spoke another language and never considered Spanish enough because of my complexion. I have learned over time to love my mixture and find the beauty in it as it will always be a conversation starter. I will admit living in a world where we can accept a person that is born a human identifying as animals before accepting a person that doesn’t have you same complexion is a bit alarming and disheartening, we must do better as a people so we can stop all the division. We all share the same emotions and feelings of rejection so why don’t we start there.
