As a POC to another POC, please, when a white person asks how they can help understand the situation going on or help out in any way, TEACH THEM. We can& #39;t yell "We need change! We need help!" if you& #39;re answering white people with & #39;you don& #39;t understand& #39;. Help them understand!

We are living in times where hatred is spreading like wildfire and we need to stand to together to put them out.

Be a teacher, open their minds, don& #39;t push away support because you& #39;re hurting. Let them join you in the hurting, let them join you in the change you want to see.

Yes, I am Mexican. I was born in Mexico. I& #39;ve been targeted, stereotyped, questioned, yelled racist slurs at and more. The fact that "I don& #39;t look Mexican" enough for you does not invalidate the racism I& #39;ve experienced in my life.

Please open your eyes. Jeez
