DISCRIMINATION     1200W

RACISM, RACE, UNITED STATES

Growing up, I didn't know who I really was. People thought that just because I'm a "Chicana","Mexicana" that I didnt belong here.Throughout my life, I have been keep away from my culture from my people,but most of all, I have been keep away from myself. People should be proud of who they are and where they come from accept their skins, our way of speaking because we are all the same. We should all be treated equally no matter were we come from.

Through out my high school education, I have only learned American culture.My history teacher in high school would never teach us the American culture they would only mention African Americans struggles I'm not saying that they shouldn'y mention their strugles they went threw,but at school they never mention anything not even one fact about the Mexican culture. It seems like after a while we forget our language,and our culture it's sad but we can't never forget were we come from our language.
