   I call myself Mexican-American because that is the easiest way society wants to describe me. There’s also Latino and Hispanic. My 81 year old grandmother was born here in the U.S. The other side of my family is native Texan. I can’t speak Spanish and have never been to Mexico. Why do I still get called Mexican-American? I’m American. White people whose families haven’t been here as long as mine get called Americans. Let’s add a prefix to all of our people. White Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans. There. We’re equal.
