Cinco De Mayo

So at about Midnight on May 5th I was out walking. I know a young teenage girl should not be out walking at night alone but it is the only time that I am ever able to think and I needed to take care of something. I will say that I normally don't walk on the main roads that I was walking this time. Anyways when I am walking day or night I often get offered rides. Especially when my hair is down or I am wearing a skirt. I am only offered rides by older men mainly white however, on this cool evening a Mexican with a Spanish accent, and a car that "Mexicans" drive without the paint job ask me if I needed a lift. I of course declined however, I was terrified. I am half Mexican and half white and I was scared of my own kind offering me a ride. When white guys offer me rides I am just creeped out but a Mexican, I was scared. I find that horrendous. I have become so accustom to the stereo types that society have placed on me that I am nervous of my own kind. I don't know about you but thats just wrong. Then when I tried to explain it to my mom she didn't get it because she is completely white. I tried to explain it as though she was walking and she was offered a ride by an older black man and then she reminded me that she wasn't black. I explained it to my other friend who were white but they didn't get it but then I explained it to one of my Mexican friends and they were the one who explained it was because of stereo types forced upon us.
