Reflection #10

The two readings were both eye opening but the standout one for me would be the reading “Too Latina to be black , Too black to be Latina”. I think she captured some of the feeling that comes with not fitting into a specific ethnic space or what people perceive as the ideal characteristics of an ethnicity. I myself have been that person who has been mistaking or called out for not being this or that enough but I never let it bother me or define who I was . I understand that not many people have that kind of will power to just push through that. Most end up allowing themselves to be defined by the group they surround themselves with. Even worst they lose a sense of who they are to gain a place to fit in. In school they referred to those kind of people as “posers”. I also like that the question of what topic everyone would like to see was asked. I am eager to here everyone answers on that .
