How It Feels To Be Colored Me

People all over the world are of different race, culture, and color. The thing about diversity is that most of the time being the color you are sometimes puts you at a disadvantage. For minorities, like myself, weather it be Mexican, or Latin, African American have to go through situations that other races, like white people, don’t have to experience. These minorities I have mentioned are the most criticized and the most looked down on races in the world. Everyday people all over the world of these races have to endure constant racism, discrimination, and stereotyping that comes from certain cruel individuals. For me being Mexican is not a problem, It’s a blessing that everyday I can prove people wrong by accomplishing things, like graduating from high school and getting accepted to a good university, that others say Mexican people cant do. I know that at times I’m looked at differently and that I have many disadvantages because of being Mexican but I don’t let these thing affect me negatively, instead I use them as my inspirations to achieve higher goals than those set and based on statistics that say that Mexicans can only so much. I’m not a statistic; I will prove to the world that Mexicans can be successful by graduating from university and attending law school.
