You Know
It’ll be so easy for you.
What Will?
Getting into college.
Why would you think that?
Because … You know….
No, I don’t.
Well, you know….
No, I don’t know.
Could you tell me?
I mean, it’s always easier for people like you.
What’s easier for me?
School. College Admissions. Everything.
It’s easier for you to get into everything.
No, it’s not.
But, it is.
You don’t have to try as hard.
No one expects you to.
That’s not true.
It isn’t easier for me.
It’s not like I get a gold card for being me
Despite what you may think,
Because no one expects people like me to work hard
Or be a doctor, engineer, or CEO,
I have to work harder.
I have to succeed.
For me, there is no Plan B.
There is no failure for me.
I can’t prove them right.
I don’t have that privilege.
Yeah, but it’ll still be easier for you.
It’s always easier for you.
Why?
Because you’re Latine.
