Explaination

Today was rough. More like this whole week was rough. To the people who don't know what happened I'll explain.

Also if anyone is going to comment something rude don't even bother

So yes if you saw me crying at different times of the day because yikes I cried a lot today ,,here's why

So story time!! Walked into Spanish and was minding my own business until I heard "so whats your opinion on Trump?" Yikes I know

For one the teacher wanted to stop but people kept asking more questions about her beliefs so hh

It went from the controversial topic about the flag yada yada to immigrants,,,

So to sum it up

A girl in my class just couldn't understand that not all mexicans were "rapists" "drug dealers" or "criminals" and then another person said that he genuinely believed all immigrants fit that description. And it just confused me so much. How you could assume the literal worst of someone because they went from one place to another. I just don't get it.

So then we tried to make the girl understand why they came to America.

The teacher explained that people escaped for problems from the country itself.

She told the girl to put herself into an immigrants shoes. "Your daughters are getting raped every day, you hear people screaming and crying begging for their lives, you're getting death threats. Wouldn't you want to leave?" Obviously she said yes but she went in to say that she would do it legally.

So that conversation went on for 5 minutes until I mentioned that my uncle was deported when I was 5 for not having a drivers license. We were barely able to get him back about 2 years ago. Its not a quick process at all. But she didn't understand that.

And it's horrible. I felt so singled out. My cousin recently got married and she had a baby. Her baby is only 2 months old. About 2 weeks ago we got new saying that her husband was shot by gang members. He was a doctor. Never has he been involved with that.

My dad lost his job when i was 6 because he was an immigrant.

I just couldn't help crying. My family has been through so much to live a better life and escape. And we come here to people telling us to go back just because. What did we ever do so wrong?

The two students had so much hate and malice toward immigrants and I just don't get it.

I've always known that racism was prominent towards us. But I've never experienced it myself till today. Its horrible. I've been thinking about it all day. My family has been trying to comfort me along with my friends because its so hard.

Just writing this brought tears to my eyes.

So there it is i guess.

Heddy___ lol i forgot to text about it so uhh
