I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Guyler and I thought her point that these stumbling blocks to health care are not unique to Latinos, but more to the lower socio-economic families. There are so many barriers to success. "People" will talk about the need to get our lower income students up to par without understanding the hurdles: stress, violence, health, communication etc. that stand in their way.
I was interested to hear about the paradox. I think it's concrete evidence of our diservice to our low socio economic communities and our American lifestyle as a whole.
I completely agree that the socio-economic aspect being a bigger factor than being Latino was enlightening. It makes me appreciate how the Latino group is forced to survive against not only cultural bias, but illiteracy and generational poverty as well.
ReplyDeleteI also agree, the stress and hardship intensifies with low socio-economic status. Facing all these challenges and not knowing what the future holds for you as far as their legal status is concerned can be a lot to handle.
