Yankee Stadium Memories...

Strange white kid: "who wants a hot dog"
Eliel: (Raises his hand)
Everyone Around me: (did he really raise his hand, he can't be that dumb!)
Strange white kid: "Hey you want one, sure take one"
Eliel: "Really gee thanks"
Everyone Around me: (wow i wish i had a hot dog)

That was funny.

He wasn't that strange but he was a little too happy. Tried to speak Spanish. Actually most of the White people around me tried to speak Spanish to me. I answered everyone back in Italian. I don't like people who speak Spanish to me just to impress me when they first meet me. That is tacky. When Abena speaks Spanish I feel special.
Okay all my white friends in the cyber blog world, If you want to speak Spanish that is great, but don't do it when you first meet me, and don't assume that I can speak Spanish just because My skin is tan. Or any other reason for that matter. Some people that have met me thought that I was Indian or Middle Eastern, Or some other Nationality. Few People guess Dominican, but most Dominicans know. A good number of Ricans know too. Besides that it is up in the air.

When I used to work in McDonalds, in the Drive thru, and non Latino People tried to impress someone by speaking Spanish to me I acted totally ignorant and stated that I didn't know how to speak that language. I would say that I was a weird mix or something.

Anyway that was all I could think of at the moment...
Happy Friday...
