Polar opposites: A Thin Line between Ethnicity and Race...


 Are many people stereotypical about Ethnicity and race? Or is assimilation taken too far in the U.S. many people in Latin American goes through racial or is questioned ab. In the article “To be or not to be (Hispanic or Latino): Brazilian racial and ethnic in the United States.  The biggest   problem is racism in Brazilian many people that are from there is Latino but when they come into the U.S. they are identified as another race or ethnicity. They are told that they or their ancestors are from the European, second the way they view Latinos that immigrate to the America and they are being put in a category. Lastly is the crucial outcome of Latin Americans identity.  

 Many people that are Latino are put into this classification system made in the U.S. with what race they are. The problem with this classification system is that if you have any European ancestry so people who skin tone or even by generation. The children of two generation have different experiences living in the U.S. many Brazilians that immigrate to the U.S. coming as a child. Are more accepted one reason is because they have a chance to get the right education and being around other racial ethnicity. They also have better chances learning English. When adults Hispanics or Latinos migrate they don’t know how to speak English. Secondly the way U.S. view Hispanics and Latinos they only look at the unimportant about Latin’s in American and the big impacts. The hard work they do while living in the U.S. the good work they do but still to be stereotype as bad to the U.S. 

Lastly why it is crucial for immigrants of Hispanic and Latino ethnicity is because in the U.S. It is a high rate of racism that has to do with who fits in the category to actually be American and

Who is closer to being the right color to be American or even with class; higher and middle. When I was younger growing up I went to school with an elementary school with mostly black kids and Hispanics they had many programs for students even speech classes for the students that didn’t speak English clearly. So my opinion is that the U.S. wants immigrants that was born or was migrated in America to take on the ways of the American people and make it as much as possible for other race to be similar as whites. Some Hispanics / Latinos don’t even know much about the ethnicity they come from.

So to conclude yes assimilation is taken too far in America. There is too many people being grouped in categories and this is bad because it’s not a good dream that people destined for in the article 'Latino Americans,' A History of Immigration and Assimilation many dreams are damaged by deportation and separates family if they don’t fit the category or without documentation they get sent back.
