Let's just say that I think you are very articulate in the English language, Mr_Lu although you make some mistakes and we all do with the Internet. You use idiomatic expressions like a native speaker; in fact, you express yourself better than many native speakers of English from the US and Canada. The questions you ask, speak volumes about you. You have a good mind and you're well educated. Although there are some individuals who may come out of the lower class, get an education because their parents sacrificed for them, and pushed them to succeed, they usually use those skills to get ahead. That's typical of immigrant parents by the way, but I didn't assume that about you. They don't have the luxury of asking probing questions about class, culture and social exclusion and the validation of one genre with roots in the barrio. You aren't from the barrio, but you are with the barrio. Turn it up! I'm listening to what you have to say!
