Ok before I went to kindergarten my mom said I knew no english...then during school years...lost most of my spanish, at that time my mom, sent me and siblings to live with our non-english speaking grandmother to re-learn it back. I try to keep from losing it again...and though I may be horrible at spelling in the language...I can read it and understand most of what is being written.
However...my roommates ex had said that because we lived in one side of town (the white rich side - so the guy says) that we are white wash???
First off...we moved here to West Hollywood not knowing there was a white side and a Latin side (Silverlake / Los Feliz)......also...we moved to a place where the rent was cheaper & rent-controlled and just happened to be in West Hollywood. I even tell the kitchen help at my job to speak to me in spanish!
Is this person who says we're white wash.....jealous??....is that what it comes down to??

I think the only way that you are "white washed" is if you think that everything associated with the White race is better, other then that your just a product of your environment. Just tell those people to mind their own business.

i dont know. I hate that racist term.
You are poor, you are poor. The term assumes that all failure/success is race based its not. If you are poor you have higher chance to be poor.
