Don't put me down. It was just a group of people . It's as if they have no knowledge and don't want to know about the many contributions that Hispanic Americans have made in this state and in this community. They just seem to think everything should be an Anglo world, not accepting contributions made from other ethnic groups. To me, that's a nuance of racism.
People feel threatened.
When I was young, we lived in Freer, Texas, and we couldn't go to the restaurants. If we ordered food, we had to go to the back and get it. Things have changed quite a bit. I'm the first female Hispanic constable. I think we will be seeing more in the future.
