In the reading “Too Latina To Be Black” by Aleichia Williams shares her first encounter in a “race crisis” as being a black Latina. Williams states, “Growing up in New York City, she did not realize it was abnormal to be black or Latina or both. Williams does speak Spanish and after her first “race crisis” encounter realized she was different. She did not want to identify as just black or just Latina. Williams discusses also how she noticed her race in different situations during her life. Williams feels that people should be not be set to one specific race or identity. I believe the author’s message was we shouldn’t assume that since someone is of another race that they do certain things because of that, for example, don’t assume Asians just eat rice. Everyone is different and we can’t assume that just because someone is Latina that they speak fluent Spanish or that since someone is black that they love fried chicken. Let’s stop being judgmental and get to know one another.
