"You Don't Look Spanish!"

"You aren't spanish, you don't look it!" You are absolutely right! I'm not Spanish. In fact, I'm positive that you've never met anyone who's "Spanish" or "black" for that matter. Spanish is just another language spoken and there aren't certain standards or sterotypes met by every Hispanic nor black. There isn't a typical Latino, African American, and or Native American.

That last one by the way is my all-time favorite (NOT). I cannot begin to tell you how many times people have made that comment to me and every time it happens it always seems to throw me off my feet! Well not anymore! Now I live for educating others that there is every kind of skin tone and race in every ethnicity! Hispanics come in every shade and we all don't fit into just one part
