I can respect and admire that. I on the other hand always say what I am. I'm a mexican..technically Mexican-American. I know I wasn't BORN in Mexico but I'm still a mexican regardless ya know? I'm proud of it. It's the differences that make us unique and I don't want anyone to take that away from me. In the end we're all human so we are all the same in that aspect but my culture makes me different from other cultures I would hate to deny that it'd be like I'm ashamed of it which I'm not
. Watching George Lopez comedy routines is so nostalgiac it's a joy haha.
