En esta breve carta de tres páginas, casi ninguna de nuestras preocupaciones o historias se valida, ni se compromete a buscar justicia, bueno, el tipo de justicia que se aplica a todas las personas.

Boletín del Racismo por Vanessa Larios

Mientras escribo esto, estoy sentado aquí pensando ¿cuándo terminará el racismo? ¿Qué va a hacer falta? Desde mi primer día en el jardín de infantes, me sentí diferente.

Mis padres no eran abogados, médicos ni maestros, mi papá es paisajista y mi mamá limpiaba casas.
