Wow! We are American. My Puerto Rican mother born on the island made turkey, and vegetables and mashed potatoes every Thanksgiving! Really? Having a Turkey on Thanksgiving denies your ethnicity? We are everything! How ignorant! Inclusivity!
Beautiful!!!
Hermoso así es en la vida real
As a mixed Puerto Rican this film...sigh....no, I am offended. "She thinks she's American." WE ARE AMERICAN! WE ARE NATURAL BORN CITIZENS! We don't have to go through immigration. We don't have take a citizen test. We don't need green cards. Acting like we are foreigners is such a slap in the face to all the Hispanics who have to fight tooth and nail to get here and all the hoops they have to go afterward just to stay here. Also, out of all the dishes she brought to school that could have been rejected, the writer chose Arroz con Leche???!?!?! RICE PUDDING!?!?! That dish is everywhere. For God's sake, even the Brits have it. To make that the dish that kids would turn away for being "too foreign" is out there. Especially when we have actual Puerto Rican dishes that are certainly acquired taste. Have her bring in our take on bacalao. That would have cleared out the room. And on a final petty note: that kitchen didn't have any garlic bulbs anywhere. Not a real Puerto Rican kitchen if you don't see the minimum of four garlic bulbs.
As a black American I feel your frustration for what you go through as well.
No se porqué he llorado, me rompe el corazón lo que los niños de inmigrantes puertorriqueños tienen que pasan en los Estados Unidos.
