Mayan there's no shame in assimilating to your surroundings. Grandparents moved here so I didn't have to deal with the daily death hole that is Mexico. That was their greatest gift to me. I see too many descendants of immigrants fall trap to the unsavory elements of what their family's strove to escape. Don't get me wrong, I am proud to be Mexican - strong familial ties, strong spirituality, and a strong work ethic. There are many other Mexicans who exude these traits, but it's not where we should be. Despite the over generalized rhetoric some in the national spotlight like to toss around, we have the ability within the framework established by this great country to change the perceptions and make a better reality for our families. It will come, it just takes time, and I hope that when you're an old cripple and I'm shitting my pants we'll see that happen
