You know what#39;s funny to me that the US ndash; the most powerful and rich country in the worldnbsp; isnbsp; still under the unbrella of so much racismnbsp; itrsquo;s a surprise to me how easy it seems to be to blame migrant people for any and every thing just because of the color of ournbsp; skin or our culture.nbsp; Whats even more surprising to me its how many people in this country are still ok with that kind of hate against other races./p
p In June, Senator John McCain blamed the Arizona wild fires on migrant people like myself who crossed the border to find a better life or to support su familia. So how could migrant peoplenbsp; be blamed for starting fires in the desertnbsp; instead of people realizing that the temperature gets so highnbsp; that fires could be started in so many ways./p
p
I wasnbsp; also a victim ofnbsp; racismnbsp; at a early agenbsp; with out me knowing what was going onbr /
it was from my own kind,nbsp; the Chicanos, who would make fun of me because I could not speak proper English. This experience made me a strong young vato who determined to learn English in six months, but thatrsquo;s a perfect example of the many faces of racism/p
p In my mother#39;s journey across three borders to get here she would have to step over dead bodies running day and night just to get to the united states. She would also have to put up with a lot of injustices from the coyotesnbsp; asking her for more money and many times she wouldnt have enough money left to eat/p
p I know that some people in politics would be oknbsp; with blaming my people for everythingnbsp; because they wanna look good with the rest of the country,nbsp; to advance their political careers but nobody talks about all the ups and down that all the migrant people go through just to get a better life for their families and they donrsquo;t talk about all the ones that die just trying to come here/p
