I am a fifty-five year old lady of redneck (share-cropper) densect. I like that the neighborhoods where rednecks live, usually on the edges of Waco, have Mexicans and black people and rednecks that live all together and respect each other. Everyone is out front in the evenings working on their cars in the drive-way or barbecuing.I also, though, like the Mexican part of Waco. It is very homey. People play dominoes on tables out in the front yard, and also work on cars and there are tortilliarias and also burrito places, and Mexican churches and the culture is strong and interesting like a foreign country, but I feel comfortable and welcome there.I am going to college now at San Marcos. It has also a wonderful Mexican part of town, just like Waco, and they swim in the river at the Lion''s Park, and they are welcoming and kind to me, and I find it all very appealing, and I am going to learn their language and make actual friends, fit into that community. It just feels right.
