subject a mexican question – del barrio real… Boyle Heights
mailed-by gmail.com

Dear Mr. Arellano,

1. Why do little Mexican kids have silver teeth when they’re three years old?
2. Why are there Christian Mexicans, Catholic Mexicans, Mexican Jehovah Witnesses, and Mormons? and why do they hate each other if they all believe in God?
3. Who is God and where in the hell is He?

Victoria Kraus, a half Japanese half Jewish gabacha who grew up in Baldwin Park, Montebello and Boyle Heights where she was called guera for her fair skin and passed as Mexican.

The answer to your first question is in my book! Short response: rotten teeth and the cheapness of silver. As for the other ones–ask G-d!
