All of the stories resonated differently, but the one that resonated the most was Roy's. I was born in America but becasue one of my parents was born in India, a lot of people think that I only eat indian foods and do Indian things.

I think all of their stories hit a different note in me. All the questions they get "What are you?" "Where are you from?" all of them were question that I have heard and it made me feel less alone that these nine other people and countless Americans had heard that question too .

All of the stories were about being bullied for their looks but they are being compared to white people and it happens a lot but they all got asked, are you this or that because of just their looks or accents, which I don't really get asked too often.

Someone's identity can shape someone's experience in America a lot. In Armando's story, he mentions how he was beaten by the police just because of who he was. Also in Mallika's story, she was told that she was a terrorist just because of how she looked. Identity's can make someone's experience better or worse in America.

One I really related to was Wendy's. Since she mentioned being friends with one other Chinese boy, the only one in the grade and people would make rude jokes about how they would get married. When I was younger this was also going on, too.

Several people described of themselves feeling alienated or socially isolated when in a group of non-coloured people. Often society ignores the fact that these people were born and raised in America, and they merely focus on their differences in skin color, culture, ethnicity, etc.

Identity shapes a lot of how people treat you. For example, when Michaela's friend's mother heard she was black she immediately changed how she treated her. She was treating her fine when she thought she was 'one of her own' but different when she learned she was African.

They felt they weren't a 'real American' because America is a country that has so many white people and less of colored. They've had white male presidents and white teachers and white athletes and white everyone. It's hard to feel the same when they keep showing you again and again just how different you are from them.

Society is often merely focused on an individual's outer looks and their social identity. Thus, they often ignore one's personal identity and simply lets the stereotypes replace who they are and what their potential can be.

I think that Mallika's story resonated the most with me because of my family's own experiences. My dad moved here from Turkey when he was an adult and was discriminated against often because of what he looks like and because he is Muslim. One time, soon after 9\11 like Mallika, he overheard someone commenting that all Muslims were "bloodsuckers".

Identity can shape someones experience in america by how they will treat you like how Armondo got beaten up but no one else did, it was just because he wasn't white and like everybody else.

A lot of society is based on people's identities and physical appearance. When Michaela was revealed to be black to her friend's mom, she could no longer go to her friends house.

I think this is because they didn't look the way americans looked in many stereotypes. they were also constantly being judged which made them feel left out because of how different they were from the stereotypes.

So many times in this country, american rights and human rights are convulted. Therefore those that are not considered americans are not even granted basic human rights. This is why these people want to fit in, for survival

what stood out to me most was that it was always something small but important that led them to feeling American. In one video, she mentions that standing up during baseball and putting her hand on her heart makes her feel very American.

What stood out the most to me about this series is discovering what the true criteria for being an American is. The way an individual looks or their social identity is what sets them apart from being an American. It doesn't matter if they were born or raised in America.

Mallika's story resonated with me too. My dad moved here when he was 30, and he was financially abused because he could not understand English. He worked a job for $3/hr, way below the minimum wage. Additionally people thought he was stupid and made fun of his accent. Assimilation and erasure of culture is many times not a choice but a decision made for survival

I believe that the people in this series represent a group in America that must have their ethnic identities hyphenated. In society, their cultural and ethnic differences must be emphasized and shown.

All of the stories resonated to me in different ways. Everyone talked about their struggles when faced with society, and how society has a set criteria (their social identity). Each talks about having feelings of alienation as a result of something they cannot change about themselves.
