    It’s bad sometimes because people will automatically assume you want to steal something. I’m Mexican American and there are times when I go to the mall with some white friends and I notice that I’m always the one being followed or asked ‘if i need any help with anything’. Then many times people will assume I don’t speak English and will try to speak Spanish to me, when I’m fluent in English. It’s frustrating at times; people still stereotype. Like if a Hispanic person were to steal something, people say ‘oh, he had to be Mexican’.
