As a women period you face oppression hearing "I need a strong man to help me" when a women could do the same. Now also being anything but white you also face challenges. One day as me and my wanted to speak in Spanish the lady behind us made comments as if the language posed a threat. I think you don't get so much privilege's being a women this is my take

As a young women in a Mexican household you are told to do many things that "traditional " parents want you to do . In my Mexican house hold my stepdad and his parents don't think its right for him to do the dishes or cook for himself . I personally don't get along with his mother because she makes us feel like we are nothing but just useful to cooking and cleaning and taking care of our partner . Women are more then that and being told that almost every week makes me laugh . Women have been through so much over the years and still are going through so much . Its a privilege to be able to do things that some men cant . Maybe my family doesn't approve of it but they are just traditional .

In my experience as a young black women I've been discriminated against because of gender, race, looks, and etc.. There are multiple times where men have made me uncomfortable because of my gender and them believing it is okay to stare at a teen in a sexual way. Also when going into a local beauty supply they constantly are watching me as if I haven't been in there hundreds of times and I'm going to steal. And walking into stores, restaurants, and classrooms people always see my skin color first and look at my appearance which is probably why I'm so focused on my appearance.

Being a young Mexican women comes with it’s problems not only for me but for many. I am a light skinned Mexican but when I was little I use to be dark I use to get called Prietita all the time I would get called out a lot. now that I am lighter people say I’m to white to be Mexican so either way people will have things to say.

I realize my privilege as a light skin Mexican and the stereotypes that other Hispanics have to face doesn't sit right with me and never will. Being treated different because of the way you look especially in a Mexican household can take a big toll on you and how you look at yourself and should never be okay. Hispanics face discrimination alone and on top of that; face discrimination on the way they look/color of their skin sometimes by other people or by their own people. And i see that i wouldn't have to deal those hardships so it encourages me to uplift people who don't feel the best about themselves because regardless of your ethnic background everyone deserves a shot at being uplifted and to feel good about themselves. Sometimes being a light skin Mexican with colored eyes can be a little discouraging because people question if i am who i say i am and i won't lie it kind of makes me feel like i have to look a certain way to be who i am but i realize there are people who go through worse than a "light skin Mexican" and changes need to be made and i think people need to realize at the end of the day we're all human and deserve love and acceptance regardless of your skin color or race.

In the beginning of the year, me, my sister and my brother went on a long vacation. We were stressed with Covid and with problems with the family. So we went with a couple of friends, and we went to Nashville, Texas, New Orleans and to Tennessee and to Memphis. And we were on our way to Nashville and we stopped to eat at this little diner. The food was so good. But when you entered you saw pure white old people. Just white people and us over here looking like Mario Lopez and Jennifer Lopez. With dark and light skin. So we just felt like we were being watched the whole entire time. So we just tried to eat as fast as we could but the food was so good and so fulling. But it was a nice trip and the food was so bomb.

I am U.S. Citizen and that comes with its privileges. I get free education and free lunch which is something most kids dont get. but since I am part of a Mexican family and I am female it has a lot of hardships with it. You have the rest of the world discriminating you by your race and gender then you have your family teaching you that as a woman you have to be the one to buy, cook, clean and look after your husband and family. They never show us that men can also be the one to look after or clean after the family. My mother isn't as traditional as my grandmother since my mom works and earns her own money without relying on my dad, but she still has the idea that you have to cook and clean after everybody and she does that especially for my dad. It's already bad enough that men always look down on women and think that women cant do what a man can do and its hard to ignore this when your family tells you or teaches you this too. As being a women in this society isn't hard enough, being a woman from another culture is even more hard. I love my culture and for people to judge me or anybody else because of this is just upsetting. People from Mexico who cross the border sacrifice leaving their families behind to receive a better life for them and their families. They sacrifice and go through so much just to be discriminated by this society. My mother crossed the border and has been though so many things in order to provide for her family and give me and my sister a better life. My sister she is 21 and Mexican she does not follow the traditional rules of needing to look after or clean after their husband and be a housewife. My mom and sister are both my role models and I hope I can be a role model to somebody one day.

Being a women in Mexican culture is not easy. Growing up I was (still am) always told by my grandmother and my father that I have to cook and clean for my future husband because I am women or else I am considered "useless" I never let it get to me and always just brushed it off. In society I know that I am looked down upon because I am a woman and I come from a different ethnic background. Now that I am older, I fight against these machismo mentalities and show that I can be more than just a "housewife" Being here in America, I am able to go to school and get an education is a nice privilege to have. Being able to go out and vote in presidential elections is also a nice privilege to have.

As a young woman I'm already limited in societies eyes but I know that does not define me. Girls grow up to be women who are "better seen than heard"// "belong in the kitchen"// and they're told "girls can't do that. I'm privileged to be an american citizen living in california where the laws may seem strict but they're definitely more flexible than other states like Texas. As a latina I may run into obstacles from american culture. As an american who comes from an minority group I'm prone to hear stereotypes/phrases like "wetback" // "Go back to Mexico"// "beaner". Aside from being told to go back to Mexico I'm actually proud to be a mexican. Not everyone can cross a dangerous river by foot and survive (behind the meaning of wetback). Beaners are typically dark and ofc eat beans pero we're also hard workers. Possibly the reason why mexicans may get so dark because they're typically field workers out in the sun all day. All in all no matter what I'm told about being mexican, being a girl, or even being short my value is not deemed to what other people say. If anything my value boostest whenever I prove them wrong
