sometimes ill be doing some normal everyday task and ill stop and realizing that im doing it pissed as hell cause i started thinking about yolanda saldivar
#brushing my teeth like 😡😡😡😡
#selena quintanilla queen of tejano and queen of little mexican american girls that cant speak spanish (me)
#when i was like 7 years old i was having a TOUUGHH time at school
#cause kids were saying like oh your mom looks weird she doesnt look like our moms!
#and my dads white and im very white like visually
#so i was getting a lot of people asking like What Are You are you adopted etc etc
#and then on the flipside all of my cousins speak spanish but i dont
#cause im the youngest and by the time i was born all the spanish speakers in my fam had learned english
#so it was very like whatever way i turned i wasnt fitting in
#so my mom sat me down and made me watch selena and i criiies and cried
#like no i dont look like her but we’re both 3rd gen girls who were a little lost with their cultures and stuff
#also dont tell my mom any of this she says im white passing to white ppl but mexicans always Know
#which is true ive had mexican people ask if im mixed or wtf is up
#its gotta be my nose like 100000%
#i think my nose and body type and hair are the noticeable features
#i was also raised super culturally by my moms side of the family
#also i think its funny that spanish speaking people dont assume i speak it so theyll be talkin shit or something and ill know
#i understand it but i dont speak it
#but im getting better!! i think i probably can speak it im just not at all confident
#i had to drop highschool spanish cause my teacher thought i was cheating
#and she did not care when i was like girl i promise i only know this cause of my abuela pls believe me
#sorry im rambling i have no clue where this is coming from
#but when my grandparents moved here it was like
#like 50s racism running rampant
#so my grandpa tried to ditch EVERYTHING and like oretend he was italian cause that was more acceptable and all that
#so he got rid of every tradition and tried to smash it down as much as he could
#so of course that rubbed off on my mom
#but my grandpas sisters never tried to hide it
#so me and my mom have really bonded over like relearning our culture and i get to go to his sisters to teach me and its just really nice
#yeah ok bye
