Identity has always been a crisis for many , whether it’s a racial crisis , gender crisis or even individuality. People tend to struggle as a hold in this world but to struggle or buy in a box because you belong to Romeo different races I can see how that would affect a person. A lot of times people who struggle with racial identity tends to be an easy target for crowds that likes to stir politics. The article “ too Latina to be black” the author poured out her problems she facing as a mixed with Hispanic an Black, in her story she states that’s she from NEW YORK CITY which is a big melting pot full of different cultures when she live here in New York it was easy for her to be herself without wondering if anyone else finds it a problem because there’s so much culture here nobody has the time to judge if your both for us that’s a big blessing to be able to portray both cultures but upon loving she realizes that the acceptance of New York isn’t spread to certain states, they aren’t aware of mixed cultures/ people so they aren’t accepting as they should be. Instead of being polite an gaming knowledge the kids of her schools weren’t polite to her. A group of Hispanic girls because just maybe her putter appearance wasn’t up to their standards maybe it’s the kink in her hair or maybe it the color of her skin but without a doubt they misjudged her before she even gotten a chance to speak a word to either of them. Another reason why you should never judge a book by its cover because u never know what’s in side until you open it. In the power of identity it. An classmates snapshot or response that I relate to was Allison Williams she discussed and showed awareness to racism identity and the the discrimination that you might face from your own race if you mixed. I think it’s had enough to feel the pressure from the outside race but to to feel like you have to choose to fit in with your own is definitely overwhelming.
