Mexican White Boy Part 3
I think I could relate to "mexican boy among the white kids and a white boy among the Mexicans." When I started my first day of 8th grade at High Tech Middle Media Arts I felt very uncomfortable. I felt like a white girl among the black kids and a black girl among the white kids. Everything seemed different. My black friends would joke around and call me white washed by the way I talk. But everytime I would get around the white kids, they would look to me as another loud black girl by who i hung out with. So I think I can relate to Danny and understand where he's coming from. And to this day I still feel like I don't fit in or belong.

Denisha, I wish I could say that this will change but I'm not quite sure if it will. Clearly it is my hope that one day everyone will view others for what's insider not what they're supposed to be. Meanwhile, we've got to keep fighting the stereotype!
