As a Mexican, if you want to find racism in America, you'll find it. If you want to find success, prosperity and equality in America, you will find it.

America is what you make it.

If you want to have a Mexican pity party, that's fine. There is plenty of oppertunity for people with a good attitude.

Is there racism in America...yes. Does it have to impact your quality of life...no.

Have I every confused a Mexican with an Arab...no.

Maybe living in Texas has left you with a false impression of America.
