    Blaxicans Richard Rodriguez Summary

    In the essay, “Blaxicans”, by Richard Rodriguez, states that using race as a basis for identifying American in not valid, rather culture should be what defines Americans. For example, the author says, “One sees white Hispanics, one sees black Hispanics, one sees brown Hispanic, who are Indians, many of whom do not speak Spanish”(95-96). This evidence reveals Rodriquez’s perspective about how he sees race, which is that culture defines a person. Although, Hispanic can have different skin color, what really defines them is their own culture. Their unique culture comes from their family’s, or the place he or she was born.…

    Personal Narrative: My Latino Family

    Although people assume otherwise, I am Latina, and I'm proud to be a part of that community. I obtain my Latin blood from my father, who moved to the United States from Uruguay as a child. My parents divorced each other when I was young; however, when I was with him for either the weekend or the month of July, I embraced all the wonders of my Latin family. Latino culture entails prodigious amounts of cooking, and we always cooked Uruguayan food; it was almost taboo to eat out. From flan to the glorious empanadas, my family always ate homemade meals.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Mexican Student

    Being a student at one of the most prestigious schools in the United States, you are given amazing classes which teach us various topics which eventually bring us back to our major or main topic of our undergraduate. Being a Mexican student, my knowledge is primarily about the struggles and stories from my own country. Coming to this school and meeting other minorities from other countries and taking classes that teach us about those countries as well, my knowledge about other problems and stories that happen to other students, families, and youth throughout the countries makes us realize that we are all the same and not alone when it comes to tragedies and inequalities like the ones many of us encounter in the US already. Attending "El Pais Que Viene” a Non-Profit Event & Book Launch, allowed me to connect the various topic and stories I learned in my Chicano studies class called “Central Americans” where we discussed the important events and inequalities that are happening throughout these central American countries and looking at stories through literature and media. Living in the Untied States as a minority, we tend to not tell our stories from our countries or even identify ourselves from those countries due to the negative image that the US has towards the people who come from these different countries.…

Without questioning these assumptions, there are moments I come to believe I should fall into the expectation.…
