Old school mentality

When I was in Orange County growing up, in high school, there's a lot of racism between blacks and Hispanics, like a lot. The black students hung out with each other, and the Latino students hung out with each other. It was very much segregated, like a jail almost, unfortunately. As adults, no; we have black friends and Hispanic, we're much more comingled. But in growing up, there's only a few of us, so we just hang out but, yeah, sadly, like, in high schools in Southern California, there's, there's a lot of animosity between the races. When I was, like, I don't know how it is now, but back then it was. There were race riots, like, between Blacks and Hispanics. It wasn't whites and Blacks, it was Blacks and Hispanics.

I think that Latinos are very racist people. I hate to say it, but the older, not the younger generation, but the older generation, I mean, the word mayate is like a, I didn't even know it's like a bad word, but they, they throw it around like anything, like, that's like, like a blackie. Not like Dominicans are dark skinned, so my mom's Dominican but like, yeah, the Mexican and the Salvadorian, like, they're just, I hate to say it, but there's a lot of racism between our own cultures and that fuels it, I think.

And sadly, I hate to say it but that's, that's my opinion. That's not in any studies or whatever. I just know just anecdotally, I, there's a lot of Latinos, like my dad, Spanish, did not want my sister dating a black guy. Just almost disowned her when she brought a black guy home. Dad, what are you doing? Like, oh, come on. But, old school, old school mentality. Don't mix racism. So, that's, that's my opinion.
