Bad- I'm a really weird mix. but some people think its cool.

Good- I like being a part of both. And being able to celebrate both. I love Europe and I love everything about being Hispanic.

bad thing: all the stereotypes like the language, accents, food, etc.

Bad thing is that people call you names like nigger and colored and stuff. Good thing is that we're brown not BLACK so what's the point of calling us darkness.

that's right! I'd always wondered about that...

Ohh I know another good thing about my mexican culture or whatever.

The bras. Mexico has nice bras.

Bad things:
People not being able to tell who you are (I usually get either chinese or spanish).

Neutral things:
Being coerced to do well in academics (on one hand, its great for later in life, on the other hand, it's really not too fun having to tons of extra credit because mommy said so.)
