When i was 12 i was being discriminated against cause i was Latino. One 12 year old boy was saying that my family was depleting the system and that we were good for nothing. This boy said that his family was better than ours cause he was an American citizen. Then i started asking the boy what his dad did for work. He said his dad was a carpenter i said my dad could do everything from pluming to gardening. Then he said his dad was still better than my dad because his dad was whit or something like that. I cant really remember. Then he said that he was going to beat me up because i was Latino. I told him that i didn't want to fight not because i was scared but because we were from a different race we were one. He didn't understand me at first. He said i was crazy. i explained to him that we were all humans we were all the same. Then i explained to him that he shouldn't discriminate because one day someone tougher than him would beat him up. I also told him that one day he would need the help of a latino so he shulnt do that. Also i told him that we Latinos did all the jobs that people that were stuck up like him didnt want to do. Like work in the fields and doing labors like that. He never discriminated against anyone again and me and him became good friends.
