Multiculturalism
You Need to Know the Language
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

There used to be the saying in south Texas "there are few wrecks, but when there is one, it is fatal." The roads stretch out flat, for miles, an engineer's dream, and there didn't used to be a speed limit in Texas. People would fly down these roads at 80, 90, 100 miles an hour and when a rare intersection came, they weren't always prepared to stop. And people would put their children in the back of the pickup truck, just riding free, sitting on boxes or crates, when they had to go somewhere.

When Sam would arrive at the hospital, often in the middle of the night, having driven 100 miles, the emergency room would be full of the dead and the dying ("carnage," he called it) and he would get busy sticking tubes into tiny veins. He often talked about how hard it was to fix up an IV for a premie, and he was proud of his skill at it.

"I've had way too much practice," he would say, and he would show me how he did it, with his gentle hands. I never saw Sam walk into a room with a baby in it, without going over and picking the infant up. Just to play.

Sam continued, "I thought the Mexicans were horrible, because when they were in the ER all they did was talk about themselves while their children were dying. They kept saying 'mi vida, mi vida,' - 'save my life.' "

The literal translation of "mi vida" is "my life."

Finally one day he talked with a Latino about this, and only then did he learn that, as they lay dying, they were calling out for their children, who were their life. "Mi vida, my child, my life."

I think he spent the later years of his life working through that multicultural misunderstanding, continuing to study the Spanish language and culture. He became, he said, an *aficionado. He participated in conversation classes for years, and helped others learn Spanish. And he would tell people this story, urging them to learn and understand.

We have so much to learn. Where do we start? Sam would say, "learn the language."

* Aficianado -- from the Spanish, a person who likes, knows about, and appreciates a usually fervently pursued interest or activity
