Julio Castrellon: Where are you originally from?
Meghan Loera: Here, from Houston.
Castrellon: What is your major?
Loera: I’m in graduate school.
Castrellon: For what?
Loera: Social work.
Castrellon: What do you want to do with that?
Loera: I’m not sure yet.
Castrellon: You don’t have any places you want work for?
Loera: Well, right now I’m employed at (Child Protective Services), and I’m eventually going into political social work.
Castrellon: What are your views on politics right now?
Loera: I don’t really like to say that (laughs).
Castrellon: You don’t? Why not? You don’t want anybody to know?
Loera: No.
Castrellon: What’s so forsaken about it? Are you afraid how other people are going to look at you?
Loera: I just… what do you mean "look at" me?
Castrellon: Yeah, like somebody sees you and they’re like, "Oh my God, you’re Republican. Oh they’re a Democrat."
Loera: Like judge?
Castrellon: Yeah, they’re going to judge you for being one group over another?
Loera: I guess so.
Castrellon: So you’re not going to tell me who you’re voting for?
Loera: No (laughs).
Castrellon: So overall, what do you think of the candidates?
Loera: I think in general what’s happening is really great. There’s a woman and an African-American… and I think that says a lot about where we’re moving.t
Castrellon: From a country that will have riots after a Super Bowl, or other big sporting events, what do you think’s going to happen if a woman or a black man becomes president?
Loera: I think the same thing will happen that happens after a Super Bowl (laughs).
Castrellon: How likely do you think it will be to happen? Like a 90 percent chance of riots in the streets?
Loera: Yeah.
Castrellon: Ninety percent?
Loera: Or higher.
Castrellon: So you lost your belief in humanity a long time ago?
Loera: Nah, I just have a reality of it.
