Names matter

Please don’t call me Negrito

Cause that is not my name

Could you not call me Negrita?

Cause I’m not playing that racist game

Referring to me as a color

You may think is without much ado

Yet how would you feel

If it was to happen to you

Repeat what my parents call me

Nothing more or nothing less

Showing me a modicum of respect

Tells me you’re at your best
