And if your children are looked at sideways, might I suggest you move them to a better part of the country?
Cause not everywhere is like that.
Yeah, Maybe I'll move to North Virginia or Missouri, Or better yet... drum roll please... TEXAS.

"Most Americans" think that if you speak with an accent, you think with an accent. "Most Americans" think Ecuador is in Africa. "Most Americans" can't find Uzbekistan (much less spell Uzbekistan) on a map, and thought that Kazakhstan was a country Borat made up for his movie (didn't we all). Just because you're that high minded (with Hispanics that you know), does not mean everyone is... statistics don't lie. "Most Americans" really think: If he looks Hispanic, speaks with an accent, and listens to latin music, he might be American, but most likely he's illegal (quack).

That said, we digress, simple as that. I have a different way of viewing things.
