This narrative deals with stereotypes and misconceptions of immigrants because of their background and where they have come from. The writer, Adriana Gomez goes straight into how badly Mexicans are treated and disrespected by Americans when going into their country.
“"You should be ashamed of being a Mexican," a person I didn't really know said. "I know I would."
He didn't care to know anything about me. To him, I was just another murderer, kidnapper or drug dealer waiting for the right moment to take over his country.”
She also discusses how people have become ashamed of their background and try to forget their native tongue etc. to fit in with the American society and do not like being seen as anything other then American.
Adriana Gomez mentions the lack of knowledge about the Mexico and the misconceptions that some people have obtained, such as one person thinking it completely un-modernized. “An Albuquerquean once asked me if we had computers and Internet in Mexico. He was not trying to be offensive. He was really curious about it.” This piece shows the misunderstandings and labels of immigrants of the US, and shows what some of them must have gone through.
