Addendum.

After the (Christmas) party at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker and I were talking about it, and, in reference to our (Guatemalan) coworkers, she was like, “They all have kids,” and she said something about them being so young.

“It’s the culture,” I was like, and I said it didn’t seem like a bad thing, since they worked a ton and also they had all their extended family here and people were looking after the kids, so what does it matter.

Also, that same day I asked my one (highly indigenous) (Guatemalan) coworker with the silver tooth or two if he speaks to his daughter in his (indigenous) language, and he says that he does, and I told him that was really, really good.
