In the reading “Too Latina To be black, Too black to be Latina” Williams explains the concept struggle of being an Afro-Latina. In society, if you’re an Afro-Latina it’s either you’re too Latina to be black or you’re too black to be Latina. When she moved to North Carolina she begins to get talked down to by a Spanish female who didn’t want to sit where William was sitting in, until then her friend realized that she can speak spanish. When violence broke out in middle school, there was a person who ask which side she was on because of her race and ethnicity. This is part of gender identity, again gender identity is a tendency for people of a particular region, race, or social background, to form exclusive politics. Most of the time especially today, there have not been people who have been with the same people of the same race and not a different race to make them feel proud, to make this sentence less confusing, an example is when being Afro-Latina people will ask which side you’re on when you can be proud of being Latina and African American. People would want their own kind to be representative in the world and not have other people of the same nationality but the different race join their kind. When she uses a powerful statement, “I’m Latina. I’m black. Also, I’m human. No one can take that from me.” This statement means that no matter where my family is from or who I am, I am just like everyone else; human.
