During my first summer job right after high school graduation at a local amusement park, I remembered an ‘Americanized’ Mexican making fun of me. She scribbled some non-sense lines to mock my ability to read and write in shorthand (Gregg). That’s jealously right there. She even invited me to join her family and I waited 15 minutes at an area of the park. She never showed up.
During the mid-1990’s at my very first ‘full-time’ job that earned $10.00 per hour, I overhead a co-worker, who was working in the BK department of a ‘acceptance corporation’ saying:
I don’t trust Mexicans. Wait! I’m Mexican! What am I saying?
As per Landy about nine years ago, he told of how his sister (as would some Islanders) label Mexicans as:
Bunch of low class.
A few years ago, we decided to replace our worn out carpet with wooden floor on the first level. The Home Depot gave us two Mexicanos. One appeared to be more Muslim with his cap. The other one tried to flood our bathroom by flushing down several toilet paper all at once. He also made hacking noises while doing our master bedroom. Maw caught him through the half-opened door to the bathroom downstairs:
What are you trying to do with our toilet?
In recent news, San Jose man dies from injuries sustained during beating outside pizza restaurant
A 47-year old San Jose man (Paul Leyva) has died. He is the city’s 11th homicide victim of 2009.
The suspect is described as a 6-foot, 259-pound Latino man, who was last seen wearing a black shirt and black shorts.
Last night, Maw was being nice to Julio, who called the main phone line and inquired about where exactly the gas leak is located on the recall of our lawnmower. In my mind, those technicians should know that by testing the unit by filling it up with some sort of fluid. Early this morning she said to him:
I know Mexicans are good.
Yeah, right! Whatever! Well, folks all I have to say is: don’t profile my individual race or ethnicity based on my ‘true’ last name, which is Asian (not Hispanic or Latino). Alright?
I’m sick and tired of being treated stupid just because of it unique pronunciation. I want to change it, seriously, by going to a judge and paying the fees just to stop the non-sense of FAKE SERVICES.
And to Barry, you and your friggin’ pals have better find another replacement for your newly appointed Supreme Court Justice. I’m waiting!
