There are still overlapping experiences, no matter the term, and there are still experiences to be acknowledged, whether they are using the term or not.

are we just celebrating that we were colonized?
interesting point. I would like to know what my peers think of this? In Belize, I don't know that we have a hispanic heritage month. Our independence was from the British and it's the 21st of September.

I think the reason why is, by bringing all people of color together, then you create the conditions to question the national identity and, honestly, also for protest and revolution
Imagine if we all came together and demanded social justice.

there are situations in which you are identifying as a person of color but you take any opportunity you have to separate yourself from black and indigenous people.
This is why I believe the latin community isn't inclusive. How can you be against other people of color who share similar struggles or are even from the same place you are? It is not a racial category. When I look at the boxes, I can't identify with any other than white. Yet, I am not a white woman. I do consider myself to be a person of color. Those race boxes are too confining.

There are Maya in the Yucatán peninsula, there are Maya in El Salvador, in Guatemala, in Belize.
I've seen it happen in Belize. Mayans fighting for their land which I believe they have every right too. My dad's side is very much mayan but the culture is lost, unfortunately.

so Latinidad here looks different
Exactly, Latinidad can be defined differently. The question is, Is our community open to accept our differences?

AA:
I share similar sentiments. I identify mostly with Caribbean culture but I do not identify as black. My country is very much english speaking and spanish speaking. Where does my latinidad fit in?

APL:
I think his answer is very interesting. It's crazy to think that for some there is some sort of privilege behind this identity. I kind of agree with his answer. I don't feel like the identity is inclusive enough. What is it that actually makes us latinx? I may be labeled latina based on just looks, when my experiences make me feel otherwise.

I agree. There really cannot be a common Latinx identity because of our lived experiences.

Fue solo cuando hablé español con fluidez que finalmente llegué a conocer mi verdadero yo. Quién era y de dónde venía
Creo que muchas personas estan buscando su verdadero identidad. Pero algunos de nosotros no sbemos lo que nos falta. Para mi, muchas de mis experiencias están en las tradiciones caribeñas en lugar de tradiciones mayas. ¿Crees que esto es cierto?

uando regresé como un hablante de español, tuve mis primeras conversaciones adultas con mis abuelos, tíos y primos.
Esto es algo que yo consideraria muy importante. Mi abuela habla ingles pero yo creo que sus historias tendran mas sentidos en espanol. ¿Alguien tiene la misma experiencia?

si olvidábamos el español
Creo que mis padres pensaron asi y tambien porque ellos tambien saben el ingles no era problema. Me pregunto si otros estudiantes tienen experiencias similares.
-
la década de los setenta, el español era el idioma de la pobreza y el atraso a ojos de los directivos de las escuelas yde muchos otros.
Yo creo que todavia esta así. Muchas escuelas no enseñan el español. No hay un lugar para ninos latinos para aprender y ser seguros con la idioma.
