Proud Mexican.

These people, to some are the worst people imaginable.
They can be for a good reason too;
We don't like being judged by our race automatically.
Americans think they know us so well.
Most of Americans like to label us as:
Beaners, Wetbacks, Illegal, Gardeners, Maids, Taco people,
Janitors, Gang related people, baby poppers.
At least we are not ashamed to be what we "Are"
Half the things some Mexicans do are for Americans,
what in the world would they do with out us.
There not afraid of getting their hands dirty or working all day.
I won't defend all Mexicans because some are violent
just like some Americans are.
Just because of those bad Mexicans does not mean we all are.
We're not perfect but one thing is We don't quit.
Some struggle to keep a roof under their heads, but they're out there
finding a way to survive.
We have big families and they are always put first.
Not all Mexican act the same,
I don't know how to mow a lawn nor have I ever had a kid or done time.
I am proud to be a daughter of Mexicans.


VIVA MEXICO!

This was really good! I really enjoyed reading it. Growing up in southern New Mexico I was in a very Mexican neighborhood. They are the most family oriented people I've ever come across and I think it's amazing. Way to stand up for yourself and your people!
