I saw and felt discrimination, I saw the signs saying “Cubans not allowed” I was called every bad name in the book, I got over it and are now retired with no debt, no pension, but very stable and I buy what I want when I want. It’s what you make of yourself what counts. If you live with a chip on your shoulder it will be there FOREVER. GET OVER IT, work hard, worship hard live a clean life, EVERYONE CAN MAKE IT. AMERICA IS THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES, IF YOU ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO EARN IT. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!
We didn't sit back and feel sorry for ourselves. In my family my parents worked and the kids to school. By the way all three kids went to medical school. Stop with the white guilt, I as a Hispanic don't ask for it or want it. Work hard for many years and you will succeed here in the US. Act like a thug and prison or death is your future.
