As a Los Angeles Mexican this is so damn true. You can’t please anyone and your parents naturally assume you figure out and master both sides on your own. Took me years to just be happy with MYSELF and not try to prove anything.

As someone from America of Indian descent, I get it. And you get judged by everyone when you don’t fit a stereotype they know.

Olmos and JLo are father/daughter again in the terrible movie Office Romance

Well having a Puerto Rican daughter isn't going to help! Thanks, casting.

The problem is that by being both you are actually none

Standing between two cultures is difficult, especially for the second generation as they grow up, since both sides expect them to adapt to their respective norms.

I was thinking about this scene and line last night while making dinner. His character gains so much depth with multiple rewatches.

Sell taco's what?

My wife is from Texas, and she's Hispanic.

It's not good there. Instead of the racism being overt, it has been institutionalized, burned into the culture and understood to just BE.

As a teenager at school it was simply known that if you weren't a white girl, white guys would sleep with you but they'd never date you. There were some places non-white teens just didn't go, because they knew it would end badly. No racist slurs. No fights. No Nazi salutes. Just "Know your place."

What about his lookalike, Edward James Almost?

He’s nearly as good. Just about as good. Very close, anyway.

Not great, but not terrible either.

I see why later he joined the Colonial Fleet to get away from all the Capricans calling him "dirteater" just because he was initially from Tauron.

Was that after his falling out with his old friend?

Been a while since I watched it, but I'm pretty sure: He'd just finished giving a speech about how they weren't just going to let themselves die and be the end of humanity. They weren't buying it, so he made them.

BSG

Yea. BSG was one of those shows that in theory would be exactly my type of show but in reality it was just another 'Lost' but in space.

Literally two of the best shows of that time period.
