Really? But you don’t look Mexican…

We need to face what is uncomfortable and finally realize that we are all Human together. We cannot take the next step until we acknowledge “others” as “like us” and not like “them”.

I consider myself an earthling, a citizen of the world, a mutt and I am proud of it.

I am probably optimistic because even though I am Mexican, I haven’t faced racism directed at me. I don’t “look Mexican” according to many Americans. THAT is part of the problem. Thinking I should look or think or act a certain way because of where I come from or what I look like.
