Just Because Poem


Just because I’m Hispanic
Doesn’t mean I mow yards
Doesn’t mean all I eat is tacos
Doesn’t mean Taco Bell is legitimately from Mexico
And doesn’t mean I have a Chihuahua as a pet
Just because I’m Hispanic
Doesn’t mean I listen to “ranchero” music
Doesn’t mean I have an accent when I speak
Just because I’m Hispanic
Doesn’t mean I work for the drug cartel
Doesn’t mean I’m illegal
Doesn’t mean anytime that a Hispanic gets in trouble with the law every other Hispanic should get blamed for mistakes
Just because I’m Hispanic
Why do people think all Hispanics are from Mexico?
Why do people think I should be really good swimming?
Why do people care so much about the color of other people’s skin?

We all are children of God.
