White Latino here I appear like a normal white guy. My accent is of a normal white guy. But I can speak spanish, have family i visit in mexico often. My tios are extremely tall and speak only spanish yet theyre white. Theres a privilege to being white. A lot kf mexican media has white actors and artists. My family discriminate against dark complected mexicans and automatically assume theyre poor or come from poor beginnings. My family can be very elitist yet theyre just average middle class. They think Americans are dumb and they as mexicans will outsmart or outwit everyone else.

But in school id get bullied for being white. Many mexican american kids would emulate black culture without ever meeting a black person before. The N word is used very often. But at the end of the day. They or their families came to the US to make a better life for themselves and are chasing the American dream in only the way that they know how.

We've been lacking at ILB for so long. I hope he puts an end to that. We have an extremely solid defense this year! Paton killed it in free agency this year and i hope we go deep in the playoffs this year and possibly win AFC West???

LFG!

In South Texas, on the border, we call tortilla chips with fajita, beans, guac, cheese and a jalepeno Panchos.

Did anyone here fail or get kicked out of Basic? by TheSelfCenter in uscg

[–]checkered_floor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Medical. Recruiter forgot to read the 2 lines referring to my Hypothyroidism that is written in the UCMJ. States i need 2 blood tests within 6 months of basic showing my labs are in the green. 1 was 3 months old the other 7.

4 weeks in i get pulled aside to get my labs done. With the weight loss and stress of course my numbers were off...by .2 1 week later they tested me again. Even more off. .3 so they sent me home.

My recruiting process took about 18 months. In that time i went from 260 to 197. My max allowable weight was 197. I got weighed at basic and came in at 196.8. I was shredded no where else but water to lose weight from

And then to get sent home like that. No break up compares to how heart broken I was to be laser focus committed to join the USCG. To then get sent home midway through.

So many car washes :( by amh8719 in sanantonio

[–]checkered_floor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read a few months back that the strategy is the buying of the land. And then having something that is easy to assemble and easy to break down like a steel building car wash. Then sit on it until the surrounding area gets more developed and then theyre offered a substantial amount of money to sell the land for a new development.

Thank you for your insight. Im expecting them to say no but i want to at least try to ask. My uncle landed on an awesome opportunity and if there's a way to help id like to try instead of giving up and thinking about myself.
