"--Me too.<br /><br />I don't speak Spanish fluently but people assume I do especially other Hispanics. I love the language but I didn't grow up speaking it. We spoke English in our home, so it was frustrating when others kept asking, "Why don't you speak Spanish? Do you like it?", blah, blah. Not speaking the language does not make me any less Hispanic; my heritage runs through my blood. On the other hand, my Hispanic roots and my race were question (still is to this day...:( )because of my appearance. People need to leave me alone; I came into this world how God intended me to be and look. Trust me, you don't want me to write about the lecture I received from a student about not knowing what collard greens were and other "black" southern foods same goes for Hispanic foods. It's like your caught between two worlds. Sorry about the rant.
