Americans are by in large very ignorant when it comes to the experiences of people unlike ourselves. Not only do we not know much about other people, the school systems don’t teach us and then we don’t do the work to learn on our own. Thankfully, Cardi is here with a world history lesson as it pertains to race, nationality and colonization.
See what she had to say below.
“I understand that in a lot of places in America, they’re not familiar with people’s culture or places where people speak Spanish. A lot of people are dumb so they don’t really know the difference between nationality, race, ethnicity. And that’s not nobody’s fault. It’s actually the school’s fault because schools don’t be teaching this sh*t to people.
This week somebody in California they were talking about Mexico. And somebody said, ‘You should be up there, you Mexican.’ And I was like, ‘I’m not Mexican bro. I’m not Mexican at all. First of all, I’m West Indian and I’m Dominican. I speak Spanish because I’m Dominican.’ He said, ‘So, what’s the difference between Dominican and Mexican. It’s like everything, everything.’
