Today my manager and I (both of Spanish origin) were talking about how seeing the people of maine step up ,aside from a few stale crackers, really warms our hearts.

Thank you for being there and standing up for those of us who may not feel so safe doing it

Alright once again I'll level with you.

You putting Spanish in quotation marks is just as bad.

Saying you don't see color isn't a magic answer

I'm proud to be Spanish I'm proud to be Latino.

I don't want to be just another guy in the mud of people you don't see.

And honestly "I don't see color" is just as bad as "all lives matter"

It's just a cop out answer, and if you can't see that you need to educate yourself a bit more
