Food Zheng – Reflection #10

With this week’s articles, I identified too much with Williams’s “Too Latina To be Black, Too Black To be Latina” since all my life I have lived in this same uncertainty, the “Too Asian To be Latina, Too Latina To be Asian”. I feel that I have said many times about my race mix, but when I read this article about how she was, her mother tongue was Spanish and she only went to sit with the Latinas but they began to discriminate against her because of her color . This would have happened even if she went with the black people, since she is not familiar with the language that is why I felt very sad. The fact that many people have had to experience this discrimination, just for being or seeing yourself differently. The political identity would have to be able to catalyze each person as it should or even not catalyze them in general. Only get to know people by their feelings or by who they are has a people and not just by their background or how they are physically.
