My Social Identities: US Citizen
My social identities are Mexican American, democrat, middle class, female, catholic, latin, English and Spanish speaker, young adult and a U.S. citizen. My most dominant identities are being Mexican American and being a young adult. Since I’m Mexican American sometimes me and my family get treated differently than people that are white, an example is when I was in 3rd grade my house was vandalized. There was beer, and beans poured inside of my mother’s fountain, and a racial slur was written on the driveway of my house with a can of spray paint, which made me feel isolated from the rest of my neighbors because a majority of them weren’t colored.
Being a young adult I unconsciously surround myself with people that are my age or close enough
