    It is amazing how many people are surprised that Mexican-Americans don’t have an innate feeling of kinship and empathy with immigrants from Central and South America. 
     
     

    There is a Mexican meat market within walking distance from my office.  In the back corner, there is a taqueria that has the best gorditas I have ever tasted.  Delicious homemade crema with countless meats and flavors.  I have to limit my visits or else I would weigh the same as a bus.  Anyway, I was talking to a couple of employees about the taqueria.  One employee's parents immigrated with her as a child in the early 90's, the others parents immigrated to Texas before she was born.  Both said that they will buy groceries at the meat market, but they will not eat at the taqueria.  The cooks are Guatamalan.  Central American racism is definitely alive and well.

    if there is any advice I can pass along is that everyone should try to live in a rural community for a period of time.
