The Myth Of The Latin woman

Today in class we read a story about a lady being stereotypically labeled as she traveled to different places. She was often called “Maria” because of her Latina origin, and was treated differently by others. She stated “ If you were a Latina, especially one like me, who belongs to Rita Moreno’s gene pool, the island travels with you.” By this she meant that leaving her country didn’t really change her identity because people still stereotypically judged her wherever she traveled to.

Current Events

Nathaniel Woods is currently facing lethal injection execution due to the killing of 3 police officers that he didn’t kill.
