ENG 363 Project 3
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- There are plenty of stereotypes for being Mexican. Beans being such a significant cultural food for the Mexican identity, is something I don't enjoy eating. As a kid I would actually get teased for it. I also had differing music taste that was outside of the norm of corridos, regaeton, and rap.
- I like listening to Luis Miguel and Natalia Lafourcade.
- You're so white man, only real Mexican listen to corridos and banda
- On top of that you don't even like beans either hahaha
- Slide: 2
- I also experienced otherness with my other friends at school, who predominantly from higher social and economic statuses. I would feel different and conflicted, for I could not be American. I am a Mexican living in America. This disconnect had made me vulnerable as it messed with my confidence. But aware of our mistreatment, I grew up with teaching telling me I am equal my white peers and "Que no me deje." A line in Zamora book reflects this when his dad tells him in his truck "always look gringos in the eyes." This sort of teaching have allowed Latino youth to compete with their white counterparts. In contrast immigrants typically compare and compete with one another. However they don't usually do this with people not in the same situation. (Zamora, 12)
- You don't know who Tame Impala nor Red Hot Chili Peppers are?!
- HAHAHA NO WAY YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE!?!! HAHAHA!!
- Slide: 3
- This reflects what Lopez talks about in one of his poems, how only Americans can be Black and White. That was the mindset I sort of had as kid, I didn't know any better I disliked being both as it meant I was not fully American nor Mexican. As I grew older I accept my Mexican-American identity with pride, and to accept and love my skin, accent, and culture, the same way Mama Maria had told him. (Lopez, 29)
