Identity tells us a lot of other people it tells us who you are and how you thought of yourself and the way you are seen by the world and how it defines you. The reading ”The Power of Identity Politics” tells us how most people thought of power which is individualized. ”One wakes up in the morning feeling empowered but empowerment is different from power. They had to teach them to do it for themselves because how they don’t have enough power. And how they have for women’s freedom was only given for white women and not for freedom of all women makes it so unfair. So the purpose of power tells us that not everyone can get the power only the white race can.

When I read To Latina To Be Black, Too Black To Be Latina I couldn’t really relate to her but her story tells us that she has been through a lot when she is sitting at the table with other girls and every one of them went quiet. Doesn’t want her to sit there because of her skin color. But she learned to embrace herself and her identity. And doesn’t care about what people say about her. This also tells us that we cannot really do anything to change our race and everyone should accept who they are even if it is hard. And we should all help one another out we are all humans. The only thing that happened in school for me is I don’t even like myself because of how I am Asian American and many people always say these sort of things like do you eat dogs and cats because of what I eat. And I was born in America and many of the people made fun of me and thought I didn’t know English. But everyone can say what they want from their own mouth just don’t listen and try to accept yourself the way you are. I’ve noticed that there doesn’t hurt me as much.

The SnapShot that really stood up to me was Jaisely Dominguez because it shows us all the races and even gender. Basically telling us that every single one of us is humans and we can’t change our race to another. And not only that there are stereotypes in many races like I even wrote about my own race. We should all help each other out. And I felt that not only it help the community but everyone in this world.
