One question I have always had with Assimilation is how that when people (of non-white descent) assimilate to the American lifestyle, or in most cases, "act white", they are still categorized as a stereotype. If that's going to happen either way, why bother changing yourself?

I am a Mexican American, or Chicano for short, and I have tried to work against any negative stereotype against the Mexican people, yet as soon as someone sees me, I am automatically considered a "threat" or something negative. All I work for, just to be given one look and categorized in a negative way. It doesn't always happen, but who says that it doesn't run through someone's mind.]]> 2021-02-25 05:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagofranco3321/9dp0ppeltf5r3cuw/wish/1239536848 Connection #2 santiagofranco3321 https://padlet.com/santiagofranco3321/9dp0ppeltf5r3cuw/wish/1239556956
I am a Third Generation Chicano, and I can see how much my family has assimilated into the American culture. My grandparents are either from Mexico or are from a very Mexican household, and I can see the differences in there culture and mannerisms compared to my parents/tios/tias. I am also sure when compared to my parents, I would be more "American" than my parents. I am sure the cycle will continue as I have kids of my own, but I will make an effort to keep the culture strong within our family.]]> 2021-02-25 06:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagofranco3321/9dp0ppeltf5r3cuw/wish/1239556956 The Latino family found it difficult to assimilate to the American customs, as they were very different from their own culture back in their old home country. santiagofranco3321 https://padlet.com/santiagofranco3321/9dp0ppeltf5r3cuw/wish/1239576802 2021-02-25 06:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagofranco3321/9dp0ppeltf5r3cuw/wish/1239576802 Very few foreigners assimilate very easily into a new culture, which is why most foreigners struggle adapting, and have to depend on their children to help them santiagofranco3321 https://padlet.com/santiagofranco3321/9dp0ppeltf5r3cuw/wish/1239582765 2021-02-25 06:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagofranco3321/9dp0ppeltf5r3cuw/wish/1239582765
