Moreover, being united provides the opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities as Latinos and break the barriers society has imposed upon us.

    "Why are you in LASO?" and "Isn't that club for Mexicans?" are the two questions I get asked frequently. At my school, Leo and Key service clubs have always been very popular with many prospects each year. Due to my school consisting of fifty-one percent Hispanics, I was particularly interested in the Hispanic and Latino culture. Thus, instead of trying out for the popular clubs, I decided to join the Latin American Student Organization (LASO). Being a Chinese male, I had trouble fitting in with the fellow members as I did not speak Spanish or have knowledge of their culture.…

    Texts clearly in opposition of a single group because of the actions of some of its parts are commonplace throughout history. Often, in times where a single group finds itself attacked or oppressed it can be easy to pin the blame on the entirety of a single group pinned as “the cause,” this is seen especially so in many cases where a minority group is struggling to achieve equality, like the speech Chicano Nationalism: Fighting for La Raza by Rhodolfo “Corky” Gonzales. However the blame for events such as those described does not often lay solely on one group and even less often are all parts of said group responsible, more often then not smaller parts of a multiple larger groups are responsible for the current condition. Even yet with this…

    In Academic Profiling: Latinos, Asian American, and the Achievement Gap, by Gilda Ochoa, it describes how a focus on the achievement gap, can cause harm to both Latina/Latino and Asian American students by ignoring systematic and structural injustices that maintain “binary” and “hierarchical” thinking. One of her arguments is that the achievement gap gives off a mirage that inequality is being managed by moving the focus to “high-stakes testing”. According to her bibliography Gilda L. Ochoa lives in Southern California. She enjoys reading, writing, and running. She is also a professor of sociology and Chicana/Chicano and Latina/Latino studies at Pomona College.…

    The club is compromised of an open-minded, diverse collaboration of youth who diligently fight for racial equality. Ethnic tension has always been extremely prevalent at my school--students often choose to segregate themselves by hues of skin pigmentation. At the root of this tension is restless silence on the most controversial topics, and thus Black Student Union was created to spark intelligent dialogue and debate on racial issues. Growth flourishes at every meeting, newfound respect and comprehension generated between students of vastly divergent backgrounds. I channel my pride in my black heritage into the empowerment of local black students and education on cross-racial understanding that takes place at BSU.…
