I've experienced some cultures besides mine. Instead of my Hispanic heritage, I learned much more. Such as, German, Irish, Filipino, Indonesian, Hawaiian, Korean, Japanese, Native American, African (really. I mean a real African, she goes to my school with her colorful clothing. It's so pretty!), Dutch, Mexican, Spanish, Cuban, Chinese, Honduran, El Salvadoran, Jewish, Indian (Mostly Hindus), Saudi Arabian, Iraqian, Afghani, French, Austrian (Not Australian, I mean Austria), and Czech Republic. I've experienced a lot of cultures throughout my life. For the first years of my life, basically elementary, I've lived in Germany for most of my life. And I've met a lot of Germans, Dutch, and then a lot of Hispanics. And once I moved to the United States, I met more Hispanics, then the Filipinos, the Asians, and then when I got to high school, I met the Hindus, Middle Easterns, a Native American, Irish, and the Africans. My goodness, I felt like I took a tour of the whole Earth. I love these cultures! Although, all my friends are either Hispanic, Asian, Black, American, or European. Either one of those. But, I mostly have Hispanic and Asian friends. My best friend from 5th grade is half German and half Czech Republic. Although, we stopped being friends after this one little incident happened. I still talk to her to this day, but we're not best friends.
My favorite cultures will have to be Asian (like Japanese, Korean Chinese, Filipino), Hispanic, Native American, Dutch, Indian, Jewish, Saudi Arabian, and Africans. I've really gotten into the Middle East and Asia. I've studied a lot about India and Saudi Arabia, and I've studied a lot about Japan, the Philippines, Korea, and some Indonesia. I just love these cultures because they're very exotic to me. I'm also VERY into Native Americans. I remember when I was in elementary, I would always make dream catchers, and drew Native Americans. In 5th grade, we had to do a report on the....Aztecs, Mayans, or the Incas. I think I did the Incas. Those were like the Hispanic Natives I think. And I found out that maize was "corn" in Spanish, and my brother calls me something similar to that. He calls me, "Mai" (pronounced My-E) Sounds like maize only without the "z." Native Americans were actually my first culture to love, and I still love them to this very day. My Hispanic heritage came later when I asked my mother many questions about Puerto Rico. So yeah. So many cultures, but so little to learn about. I don't have enough free time. And if I did, I get at least a few minutes before I have to fall asleep for school. I look for some free time during lunch, but we can't use our laptops in the lunch area, we have to go to the designated area. I really don't want to move and end up forgetting about it later. Please tell me your guys' culture! I want to know!
