They may be poor, uneducated, disenfranchised--but Gawdawmighty! at least they are not Black. https://padlet.com/esantana1982/ej7w3daezg1xwoiz/wish/2379357273 2022-11-10 22:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/esantana1982/ej7w3daezg1xwoiz/wish/2379357273 egonzalez90_2 https://padlet.com/esantana1982/ej7w3daezg1xwoiz/wish/2379357382 It could be that their race does not have a negative impact on their life.
