During the public hearing, Osmín Tobar Ramírez stated that when he moved to the United States with his adoptive
family, he suffered “a cultural shock; I was removed from my culture, whether this was rich or poor; I never felt that I
fit into that society, […] due to the color of my skin. In the United States, children, […] if one does not look like them,
then one is not accepted; there was a great deal of bullying owing to how I was and how I had been born.” Statement
