They can feel used, overworked, and pressured to live up to the “perfect” stereotypical Asian American image. On the other side, Latinos/Latinas are one of the most underappreciated cultures at Southern California High School (SCHS) and also in the community. They receive the least amount of encouragement and help from faculty, counselors, and other students.…

    Despite their resemblances in certain situations, Latinos do not have a particular “look” that is perpetuated in society, because the term Latinos includes a diverse population from Afro-Latinos to Indigenous Latinos to white Latinos, which is why Latinos should be considered an ethnicity more than a race in the United States. For example, a Puerto Rican and a Chilean would not have a similar culture, however, when placed in the United States, they are bounded by shared experiences and have more in common with themselves than they would with a white American. These common ground allows Latinos to create a sense of community with each other, thus, forming an ethnic group and not a race, because they have more of a mental bond than one based on physical…

    Brenten I agree totally with your response. I was in law enforcement for nearly 10 years and also noticed how the Mexicans and Latinos would always stick together. We hardly ever got a call for service involving them because they took care of their own situations. Even when there were situations where an arrest had to be made, the individuals would not even speak against one another when being questioned. I have been to residents where several individuals lived together as a family providing most money in the household and sharing vehicles for work and everyday errands and that is true love for one…
