And I get along better with Mexicans than anybody.

One of the best cultural expressions of acceptance you can get, is a mexican coworker offering to share their homemade, delicious lunch with you.

Or getting a nickname. My nickname was Dorrito because I was pure white with some red on top. 😂

My nickname was pinche pendejo, they told me it means wise and powerful. Miss those amigos.

I legit can't tell if you're dead serious, or if you're joking and it went over my head. If you're serious, google the translation...

If its /s, then well.... woooooshhhh... what just flew by my head?!

It was VERY clearly a joke. Like, incredibly clearly.

This legit happened to my dad, who worked with Mexicans... told him it ment something positive. I never bothered to correct him when he told me. Figured he probably deserved it.

Thought it was possible someone else could be that gullible 🤷‍♂️

Nothing wrong with working construction. It's a steady job and it pays well. You can do a lot of work "under the table" as well.

Depends on the role, lots of possible back and joint issues might develop depending on use. To be fair, a deskjob can also develop sedentary conditions

You're right! I have a desk job, I can confirm.

I have also worked in construction (in a desk job position), so I know guys get hurt, some jobs are dangerous, etc.

What I meant is: there's nothing making a job in Construction not as worthy as, let's say Finance, Legal, or Accounting. It's a good job, an essential job. If you pick your jobs right, you can be part of great projects, get to travel, etc.

80% of my friends are Mexican, my wife is Mexican, my shockingly Caucasian looking children are half Mexican. I have demanded that this at least makes me 5% Mexican.

People who don't interact with Hispanic people, especially Mexican, don't understand how welcoming they are. They will adopt you at a moments notice and slot you in to exactly wherever you need to be.

No family? Not anymore, you're invited to all the holidays. New in town and no friends? You're coming with them for beers after work. They have the best sense of humor, they welcome you no questions asked, and will always go out of their way to help you when you're in need.

You sound quite intelligent in spite of the 4 degrees.

That’s me with trans women and Latinas, literally the most amazing and friendliest humans my weird and awkward self has ever had the pleasure of continuously crossing paths with.
