The reason for this is because I am a Mexican descendant and I believe that a Hispanic is an ethnic group of people who have heritage in a Spanish speaking country; additionally, I can speak Spanish, and although speaking Spanish isn’t a requirement to being Hispanic, I feel like it adds to it. I don’t like to self-identify myself with any race but I’m considered to be white. I’m actually not sure why I’m deemed to be white, I would assume because it’s the race that is closest to the kind of Hispanic group I’m in.…

    Growing up in a household dominated by males with the head of the house, my mother, being a figure that is very tomboyish has influenced my views on how I see myself in terms of my gender at a very young age. I came from a very open, liberal community and I feel like I was blessed to meet people with all different genders.
