In fact, Texas used to be called New Nueva Vizcaya, which is a part of the Philippines because they used to bring Filipino migrants in the early 1700s to the state of Texas.

So there's so much history that goes on

And so from an early age, places I would go, people would speak Spanish to me.

And I remember it used to frustrate me as a kid because I'm like, man, I speak English.

I don't speak this language.

And then as I got older and started working with my dad in the landscaping business, I had to start really learning it.

I took it in high school, barely passed it.

I didn't really enjoy the language.

But when I started working with my dad and all the employees were Spanish speaking, you better believe I had to learn this language.

And so I started to actually appreciate it.

And as I got into the workforce, I started to take it less as like a...

somebody was just profiling me which is it's how it feels though right when you when you're not of a culture you're not of a language and all you get is that especially when you wear a name tag like i had a work in property management as an on-site manager well my name clearly said mendoza on it so all the vendors would come and immediately start speaking spanish with you and although i could speak it out of principle i want to just say hey listen we speak english in here

Once I get to know them, then we can chop it up in Spanish.

We can go that route.

But the reason why I'm bringing this up is everybody faces some type of profiling, right?

Whether it's racial profiling, physical profiling.

It's happening all around us.

But I think the racial subject is one thing.

that really should be highlighted and tackled because it just 12 years old.

And so for those of you listening, I want you to remember back to 12.
