Okay, so a kid whose a lot older than me brought up that a person is treated how they are viewed, ergo I should not be upset that I am mistaken for a white person even though I am Latina. So, basically, because I'm a fair-skinned Latina, I am treated the same as Caucasians.
Race rant... begin!
For one thing, my main objection to being seen as white versus Latina is that I personally identify MYSELF as a Latina. That is to say I was raised mostly by my mom, who is from Chile, and I feel like I am culturally Latina. I'm not just identifying it as my race, but my culture. And if I have to have labels, which it seems like I must, I want to make them myself.
Plus.... I'm continuing this tomorrow. Just that much wiped me out. Hrml.
