I’m mixed with Mexican, and Puerto Rican and many times I hear I’m not Puerto Rican enough or Mexican enough which is extremely annoying. I was born and raised in America my parents both moved to the United States at a really young age so they too grew up ” Americanized ” I’m not Mexican or Puerto Rican enough because I don’t like certain foods or music that belongs to each culture which makes me feel as if I need to prove myself. I’m tired of people trying to label me or tell me about MY race and if they feel like I’m Latina enough for them.
