Positive And Negative Aspects Of Hispanic Culture

There are both positive and negative aspects of Hispanic culture, regarding racial stereotypes in our country. Everybody inevitably assumes that because you are of a Hispanic race, that you automatically know how to speak Spanish, as well as read and write. Media such as television shows, film and movies, often show the Hispanic person speaking Spanish. However, there are some cases where the individuals are natural born American citizens. What does that mean for these individuals? Some of these people were not taught the Spanish language, or their family is of Hispanic heritage but they were raised in an American society, which they have adapted American traditions. So their family never took the time to teach their children a second language.
