It was so hard for me that eventually I became what my cousin called me a “self hating Mexican”. My mom prefers we steer torwards more American culture, not the Mexican stuff. I speak Spanish but not good and I get made fun of, then I don’t want to speak it at all. I can relate ! Growing up in a predominately white I had a serious identity crisis from middle school until I graduated high school. I cannot adequately express the immeasurable disappointment I feel of having to frequently justify my own existence and force my own inclusion in the places where I by all rights inherently belong. I was never hearing enough to be included in or able to more conveniently participate with hearing people. I was never deaf enough for the deaf community.

I was never white enough, because my skin is too dark. I was never American enough because my name was too different. I was never black enough because I never had "the black experience" or because I spoke too white. I was never Hispanic enough because I didn't speak Spanish. Being an American born Hispanic deaf man. The kind of people who gatekeep blackness. I'm running the same race and jumping the same hurdles you are, so why are you tripping me up? You said we need to stick together but you don't even know what that means. You think I'm a sellout, why? Because I live in a big house or I dress a certain way? Or maybe it's because I like Barry Manilow.īeing black isn't what I'm trying to be, it's what I am.
