Why Not To Be Like Everyone Else

I am an independent person, thinker... I fight for what I believe even when its against my friends or acquaintances (inside joke). I believe that there's some good in people  when sometimes there's none. I believe in my people (Mexicans (in the US)) when my people doesn't even notice. I believe that as a whole we shall all help each other.Sometimes I find myself thinking is it really worth it?
Why should I even try when there is so many people who doesn't even try. People whose interest are in jeopardy not mine. Why should I get involved on other people problems like immigration reform or their labor rights?  I wanna help and all they do its stick to what they feel more comfortable with... I am sure many of the great thinkers of the past would find themselves in a similar situation but they would know what to do. I don't know what to think or what to do when I see that my own people fear to lose their jobs if they ask for fair lunch hours.

The following is harsh and it doesn't apply to all Mexicans. Please do not get offended, consider that I am in a place/situation where I have been turn down by many of us. I am disillusioned. This may help some of you who feel that there is something that we need to do in order to become successful as a whole. Lets fix the things we have grown wrong about our culture, lets rethink about what we want to become in the future. Do we want to be the slave ignorant minority?

It is so funny that Mexicans would never tell you where to find a job, they would never help you find a better place to live...  most Mexicans will be afraid if you seem smarter than them because they are afraid...At work many of them will be jealous if you get a promotion... they won't have gas and will put labels on the food they buy so others does not eat them.
To be continued I need time to meditate...and maybe cry about this situation...

Yahoo answers (my BF)

I am still in shock from what racist people think about Mexicans (I say Mexicans because most of them do not know the difference between a Chileno, Peruano o Nicaranguense) just because we look alike and we speak the same Language  (but not the same dialect).
Anyways, I browsed online "why is people racist?" and I found the following link:

If anyone else wants to add anything to that please do so, all I have to say is that people is racist because they FEAR WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND!

LOVE & PEACE
