For today’s society being Hispanic has a negative connotation, especially in the 2016 Presidential election. Living in the south most of my peers asks me “How did you survive crossing the border?” Or “Be careful, I will call Immigration to get you deported”.

Even though we are divided during the World Cup, at the end we are united together by our culture and love. Being Hispanic to me is more than a culture, it’s a family. I wouldn’t want to come from any other
