Mexican Whiteboy part 3

Similar to Danny's experiences, I've had my own during my middle school career. In 6th grade I went to school in Wildomar, Temecula.  I went to David A. Brown  and the racial differences were very noticable, I was like Uno! I was the only african-american student in all my classes and had a very hard time  relating to my classmates the way they all related to each other.  The majority of the school was caucasian. Then when I would go to North Carolina , where in the area I was in, the majority is black. My style and my accent set me apart instantly , because my accent wasn't southern and I did'nt dress like most southern females, almost instantly I was looked at differently. My family would say, "why do talk so white?", and why are most of your friends white?.....I COMPLETLEY understand.
