04/14/20: Page, Showing my color

When it comes to skin tone color so many different things are expressed just by our skin tone on the outside. Growing up for me I can totally relate of feeling isolated into a certain race already I have always been so white on the outside so many people never looked at me as if I was Mexican. Everyone told me that I was able to have the white privilege because of my skin tone and I always told them I didn’t want that privilege I grew up very racially diverse so I never viewed me as wanting privileges just because of my color of skin tone. I never wanted to be separate because of my race but when I think back I usually always had Mexican friends but I never ever in my head thought that I was not racially diverse. This has to do a lot with how someone was raised in my opinion if they were growing up and was told to be someone who hung out with different races but some parents already instilled the racism in some kids head that was their way of thinking . I would have loved to be colorless but to me it selfish for me to say something like that considering the fact that many people feel way worse in their skin tone with the isolation especially with how society is set up. Race is so prominent in our life although we have came very far from the past. Ethnicities are of such a wide variety we need to just realize that different cultural being mixed are beautiful instead of always trying to hide our color we should just be focusing on embracing it.
