"You don't act your race/age/etc etc."

I suppose I don't act my race. In elementary school, they kept putting me in ESL classes because I was hispanic. Problem was that I learned both English and Spanish while growing up, and never had a problem with either.

I also disassociated myself with all of the hispanic kids while in school. I'm not sure why, but I just never liked most of them. However all of them pretty much hated me for it later on, because I wasn't acting my 'race'. It really was pathetic.

In my opinion, it's these type of people that continue to advance racism. It's not other people calling you a nigger, or anything. It's that they can't accept the fact that you're just another person that happens to have a darker skin color. My skin doesn't predispose me to have a shitty hispanic slang, and only like a certain type of music.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Believe me, I know the feeling.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
