or just lazy; I would never be able to watch TV or many movies.  I fight=20
racism by proving the stereotype wrong everyday of my life. =20
I am proud of my Mexican Heritage but I have learned that only you give the=20
power to other people to make you feel less worthy.  I am an American with a=20
long beautiful tradition of hard working Mexican families as part of my=20
