racism is definitely real but its true that at times the media does stream a lot of biased shit our way.

If I dont feel actual racism (the hatred or even some prejudice-ness) then I feel the tension. It sucks going to a school where you dont see many of your fellow [same race] peers. The rest of the students "dont mix" well. Everyone is chill but I cant relate to them that well.

What really sucks is that its not likely to change, Hispanics, along with blacks are falling behind their white and asian peers in school performance (measured by proficiency testing) n the lack of good teachers in the poorest areas never helps--

puts a lot of pressure on my back at least-- but I shall deliver!! :]
