TX Lib :
And this is why after her divorce, my grandmother moved, lied about being Italian, and changed their name from Barron to Baroni, so the kids wouldn’t have to go to the Mexican school in Texas.

as a chicana that moved and was raised in the south since 5, I always had questions about us Hispanics around this era. I always felt like a piece of History was missing for me. I remember watching this dr king kid cartoon movie and I remember that there was this elementary age Hispanic girl working as the janitor and that's as much as I knew about my ppl during that time. Its very healing to learn this. I've always related with not being liked for my skin with my friends, but also had a glimpse of what Caucasian culture was like, and I liked that. I liked how they talked, the fact that they seemed to have money, the way they were treated, the way they celebrated all the holidays so heavy. the black community felt like home. And home was a fun, free, loud, passionate, comfortable, crazy, cool, but also toxic. then I, many years later, learned that white folks also had toxic ways and I stopped putting them on a pedestal. I liked everyone around me, but I never saw me in anyone or thing around me. I never was around so many black white folks before I loved to the south. I was used to a Hispanic community with the occasional white people and only saw black folks on the tv. then I grow up in the south never getting to relate with the Hispanic community except for what my parents watched and listened to. it's absolutely fascinating and fulfilling to learn these things.

We need to teach our children that this was not hundreds of years ago. All of this happened recently. We are still struggling.

My sil told me about that happening in Texas, early 1950's. I live in CA, there was a pre-1st, I was 5 yo mid 1950's. Not kinder, because I didn't speak English. Not allowed to speak Spanish on playground. Games in Spanish was all we knew.

Gracias, bc i was unaware of this. But at the same time thank you. I too suffered discrimination as an elementary student, I was called wet back, thu I was born in California bc in the mid 70s, it was still happening. And I had no idea what that word meant. Nonetheless u paved the way for many other generations

Racism is disgusting and it is integral to the US. We must eliminate it wherever is pops up.
