Me


 

Mexicans.

It’s a word said with disgrace by many.

Frowned upon.

They are drug dealers.

They are boarder jumpers.

They are dirty.

Labels used to tell the untruthful story of a beautiful race.

The real story needs to be told.

Mexicans.

They are hard workers.

They are intelligent.

They are family oriented.

My people.
