SEVILLA,
SPAIN—Most people that know me know that I have a
thing for everything Latin, the food, the women, the language,
the people. I've been accused of wishing I was born Mexican
(which isn't true, by the way) and I've also been accused
of hating white women (which isn't true either). Just
about every trip I’ve gone on my own within the last
few years has been to somewhere in Latin America, and
if it wasn’t down south, where I belong, I made damn
sure to stock up on tacos and burritos before and after
my trip. I just can’t get enough of those little
brown people and everything they bring to the world.

So
when I found out I was going to Spain I was totally stoked.
The Holy Grail. The end of the rainbow. Where it all started.
It’s like going straight to the factory and getting
a discount. Plus there’s the added benefit of bullfights,
watching people get run over by bulls and watching people
throw tomatoes at themselves. I was gonna live it up and
nothing was gonna stop me.
Now
don’t get me wrong about Spain. It was cool but the
Mexican food was totally lousy and they did a pretty damn
poor job of trying to act and look Mexican. I’m as
white as they come and I look more Mexican compared to
some of these people. People, where’s your pride?
Where’s your heritage? Where’s your roots? I’m
more Mexican than these people over there in Spain, and
that’s where Mexican’s come from originally.
That's where they were made. What’s happened to their
culture? Gone totally downhill, that’s what happened.
Sad state of affairs over there in Spain. Read
