Languages and Culture

In the article the main argument is how her culture was not acceptable no matter where she was. It also mentioned how she did not feel comfortable in her own skin because of the way people looked at her whether they were English or Spanish speakers. This article also talked about the many different languages for Spanish for people who lived in different areas of Mexico or just picking up different lingo. They also mention how music and food can really bring back the feeling of being at home and she misses it because being in American made her change who she was deep down. This essay also comments on how America changes people’s culture by having these standards when in reality that it is okay to have different languages or lingo etc.

I can somewhat relate to this essay because I always felt weird in my own skin growing up as an Asian American especially with my household being half Asian and half American, but me being full Asian. I felt like my own family wouldn’t understand my views because they were half white and I wasn’t.
