Who Are You?
Who are you? They ask
¿Quién eres? Me preguntan
Are you the Mexican?
O eres la weda?
If you’re Mexican, why does your name sound White?
¿Por qué te llaman Amanda si eres morena?
So, do you eat tacos all the time?
Vas a escuela privada como las gringas.
Are you closer to your dad?
¿O tu mamá?
Well I have something to tell you.
Soy latinoamericana.
My father is Irish.
Mi mamá es Mexicana.
They sent me to a private school
Porque quieren que yo tengo una buena educación
I am not a chola.
Ni una weda
I am Amanda. I am smart, funny, happy.
American.
Just like you.
