“So my nickname has been for a really long time “Chino”, and it is just because of how i look, i don’t really care or see that as offensive, I think its just funny, cause I do look like a chino.”
Edwin Acosta, 9, said.
“My friends called me “choco” and “chocoroll.” They put me that nickname in football and it is because of my skin color, and also because it’s just funny that everyone has a nickname that is weird.”
Anthony Avalos, 9, said.
“My nickname is “El Chanate”, and I have this nickname since 7th grade and a friend of mine put it to me just because a Chanate is a bird that is scary and seems malicious but it is not.”
