I'm not Mexican but I do know that all over the world, no matter what your heritage is, people ARE the same. There are good people and bad, smart people and some who are not so smart, kind people and perfect jerks and they come from every corner of the world. Be a good kind Mexican and be proud of yourself and your heritage and don't allow anyone to make you feel less than worthy of their admiration.
Sometimes, (often actually) people who try to make someone feel inferior are doing so because that it is the only way they can make themselves feel superior. Real bigots are frightened, pitiful people full of bluster but little else. Be a good kind person and hold your head up high because you will equal to any good kind person anywhere in the world.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
