I grew up in a neighborhood in Oak Cliff, which is mostly Hispanic but from different nationalities, such as from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras. I am of Mexican decent and both my parents who are from a small town in Oaxaca. Few of my neighbors were white and black and did not know much about our culture, however, my father always invited them to attend a cookout or family party. My uncles did the same thing in their neighborhood in south Oak Cliff because they were only Hispanics. Once the neighbors were enlightened it created a bridge and broke stereotypes. Sharing the riches of my heritage is something I been doing with people. I believe that food and drinks from one’s culture is the best way for people to get to know each other. I have a friend who attends SMU and is also Hispanic but is scared to share our culture with his classmates because he fears being judged. Culture inclusion is something I will do at SMU because I have gained many friends from different ethnicities.
