“Too Latina to be Black” by Aleichia Williams, made me think of how people just make assumptions without ever really knowing the facts, solely off what they see. In the world they want us to believe we are progressing and equal but no matter how much we want to push that insinuation many actions continue to remind us differently. For example I believe no one is 100% percent themselves at work, but me I feel I have to try a little harder to be grammatically correct, present myself softer and consciously articulate my delivery when speaking. More-so then my white co-workers. If I mention how hard I have to try or work at this they probably wouldn’t even understand my struggle with it, because it Is the only way they know to speak which is proper. Society has it so that my way of speaking and how I present myself on an off day is not socially acceptable, but because of who’s standards?… not mines or my cultures that’s for sure!  Identity Politics is something I will hold close to me because it is important to know that my language, my culture, and my community is how I identify. Not this conformed forced society they are trying to continue pushing on us and calling equal.
