Being Mexican isnt easy. It comes with a lot of assumptions. Oh you’re Mexican living in the U.S.? multiply those misconceptions times 3. Growing up Mexican in California entails a lot of familiarity, even Californians speak Spanish. There are taco stands all over town. Its like one never left home. During a typical Southern Californian’s school life during the 2010s, a kid is quick to notice that the guy that acts the hardest, the “Mexicanest,” is the one to get all the hynas. Going deeper, banda, narco corridos, speaking chopped Spanish the loudest, and threatening every individual with the gun they supposedly own, and sits safely in their house, that's the guy that every desperate for attention girl wanted to be around inside and outside of the school. Did I mention that this dweeb, wanna be, also tells every person, that didn't ask, and they couldn't care the least, that his uncle is none other than El Chapo Guzman? yeah it must have been some child abandonment issues that were deeply rooted. In the end, the man became nobody. He was lucky if he even graduated high school. You realize that the real narcos don't talk about it. They are either locked up or dead. It is not something young ones should aspire to be. No one wants to die for nothing. No one wants to be perceived as a narco. At least not anybody who considers themselves a hardworking, peaceful, honest person.
