After reading \u201cIdentity Terms\u201d the term that most describes me is \u201cLatino,\u201d \u201cLatin American,\u201d \u201cLatina,\u201d \u201cLatino\/a,\u201d \u201cLatin@,\u201d \u201cLatinx,\u201d \u201cChicano,\u201d \u201cXicano,\u201d \u201cChicana,\u201d \u201cChicano\/a,\u201d \u201cChican@,\u201d \u201cChicanx,\u201d \u201cMexican American,\u201d \u201cHispanic.\u201d I arrived in the U.S \u00a0from the Dominican Republic when I was seven years old. I immediately saw how my identity completely change; Back in the Dominican Republic, our population is not as diverse as the U.S, and coming to the U.S completely change the way I perceive my identity and others. Here in the U.S, my identity went not only from being a Dominican but being Hispanic or Latino; That what people call me. These were terms that I was not exposed back in the Dominican Republic. Also, experience a lot of people confusing my country of origin, saying are you Mexican, Colombian, and sometimes even white. I remember people saying, \u201cyou don\u2019t look Dominican because Dominican are of dark complexion; Are you Puerto Rican?\u201d. That\u2019s when I realize that Americans had an stereotypical way of identifying individuals base on how they look.<\/p>\n
One of the theories in the \u201cFeminist Philosophy of Language\u201d was \u201c 2.5 Generics\u201d it really caught my attention. For example \u201cGeneric statements are ones such as \u201ccats are furry\u201d, or \u201ca cat has fur\u201d, which are neither universal generalizations (there are furless cats) nor existential generalization (the claim being made is clearly stronger)\u201d.\u00a0 This demonstrate that we as individuals speculate or even categorize individuals or things creating an illusion that because humans have hair all human need to have hair. This exclude those that does not have hair is creating the illusion that everyone need to have hair and if you don\u2019t there is something wrong with you.<\/p>\n
