The correct answer among the choices provided is the second option. People can be of different ethnicities and still have shared life experiences. Gary, the protagonist in "Like Mexicans", loves a Japanese girl even though his family wants him to marry a Mexican girl and they don't want him to have a wife who is richer than them. He discovered that the family of the Japanese girl is also as poor as them when they have lunch with her family.
