Learning the lesson of racism and inequalities between different religions has shaped me to see the world differently. People are treated differently due to their race and skin color.

And that is me. I am not the same color everyone else, and I am not the same race as everyone else. I am Puerto Rican and Filipino, yet I am known as a Mexican. At first this bothered me, and now when someone throws a racist slur at me, I keep walking, and I do not acknowledge.…
