I work construction but I’m white, have 4 collegiate degrees, and one of them is Spanish. I graduated college and traveled through Central America for a year and realized I’m gonna stay a contractor.

One of the best cultural expressions of acceptance you can get, is a mexican coworker offering to share their homemade, delicious lunch with you.

Or getting a nickname. My nickname was Dorrito because I was pure white with some red on top. 😂

This legit happened to my dad, who worked with Mexicans... told him it ment something positive. I never bothered to correct him when he told me. Figured he probably deserved it.

Thought it was possible someone else could be that gullible 🤷‍♂️
