identity.
A recent study has revealed that currently
total population of the United States is formed by a minority of whites and that it is a fact that the predominant population is ethnically different from the original, especially Hispanics stand.
Excellent news.
The question is: Are they really people of Mexican, Peruvian, Argentine, Cuban, Colombian, Puerto Rican and many others, most new citizens of the United States?
Or are people who every day further diminished their language, their roots and identity in order to fit in a company probe the role model is not necessarily desirable or more advanced than their own.
A man twenty years ago crossed the Rio Grande, endured two sports, strenuous work, marginalization and derision by his appearance and vocabulary.
Nevertheless, twenty years later, has managed to raise her family (which was bringing little a little).
works as an employee of the garbage and his wife is a housekeeper in a luxurious home in Beverly Hills.
His children are to choose a career, but ...
Are your children proud that his father is almost a no-name town in the highlands Chiapas? Do
daughters speak fluent English and are willing to learn along with her mother make tamales?
This man who fought so hard to get ahead in a society different from yours Do you agree to actively participate by writing to your congressman to improve the lives of Hispanics on American soil? Definitely
many do. Sadly
many, they are NOT the majority.
Many others suffer from marginalization of children who see themselves as inferior because of their low educational level.
Others left behind family values \u200b\u200band the intoxication of being American citizens, and have beautiful come to the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving highly evolved affaires.
The most unfortunate are those who are now engaged in "hunting" immigrants and look at all costs to be deported. Or even killed in raids.
Identity is much more than having a virgin of Guadalupe at the entrance of the house. The identity is to find a way to fit in a nation that has given them the right to live, but preserving the values \u200b\u200band the education of our parents.
