woww this was a great read. And you’re right near me today! haha. I’m about 20 miles south of Tempe, in Maricopa. Did NOT know about the no Mexicans rule til 1946, and STILL, the must speak English thing… all of it is SO messed up. I love Mexican culture too, there’s so much here and I love it. I just don’t get how people can be so racist. You do see a lot of that here. But you’ll find me here, just enjoying the culture and great food hahaha
