-yes our skin gets burned and needs sunblock too
-not all of us play soccer
-not all of us are named Juan and Jose
-not all of us have huge families living in one house
-not all of us have Spanish accents
-no I don’t know how much the Hispanic looking item you found in Hobby Lobby, would be in Mexico
-no I don’t have a green card because I was born in the US
-not all of us work on lawns(anyone can be good at lawn care it’s not a culture thing)
