I can relate to Aribah in her argument when she wrote about the stereotyping she encounteted about her hijab exept I've experinced discrimination for being mexican. People always think im a immigrant just because I'm mexican.If you think all muslims are terroists or you think all mexicans are immigtants you are ignorant. Another time I experinced racism is when I was walking through an all white neighborhood and one guy said to me " get off our street you wetback ". I was so angry I was going to "show him a piece of my mind", but then I realized its not worth it. Thank you aribah for sharing your opinion on being confident and sticking up to those who put you down because of race/religion.
