The stereotypical story of US Hispanics is that of a Mexican running across the Border or that of a Cuban risking their life on a shabby raft for a better life in the U.S. They are often depicted as running behind trucks in hopes of scoring a job in manual labor or they are portrayed as single mothers with no education, no job and a handful of children. Even my parents’ story can fit right into the American stereotype of Hispanics. My mother’s struggle as a five year old girl who only spoke Spanish when she moved to the United States and had to grow up in a home with her mother who could barely pay the bills on her own and eight of her other siblings some of who she had to help raise is very stereotypical as well as my father who came to America in his twenties and struggled to get by, got his citizenship thirty years later and til this day barely knows English.
