An incident in his life when he was treated poorly due to being Cuban was actually a couple weeks ago at the airport, arriving back from a two week long cruz.

In the text, “Blaxicans”, Rodriguez explains how he had to call myself “Hispanic” (line72).

It is outdated. Proposition 227 was passed 18 years ago – before the iPhone existed, before we had our first Black president, before we created laws against smoking.
