But many locals will avoid us like ICE. And there will be protesters, including members of my own family and my friends. I can guarantee that."
Ramón's throat tightened. "Julieta, you are from the community. And I'm no gringo---I'm Mexican, too."
"You're a coconut, Ramón. You may be technically Mexican, but you are not part of this community.”
― Alana Quintana Albertson, Ramón and Julieta
