    Let me start off with some background information for those of you who do not know what a “Zoot Suiter” is and how they came about. “Zoot Suiters” were often belonging to Mexican American Culture and often times were young in age, most under 25 years of age.

    Throughout the centuries on Earth, Great Empires expanding mass amounts of territory have arisen, and crumbled in the forms of the Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Han Dynasty, Mongolian Empire, and the Aztec Empire only to falter to the test of time.

    Born and raised in the United States, I consider myself as an American woman. However, some people seem to question my culture and I would then tell them that I am Dominican and Ecuadorean due to my parents born in each of their countries of origin.

Coming from a family who are primarily immigrants, there is great expectation for her to represent her culture, but being born in America already makes her seem less Mexican to the native-born.…
