Race of my own, confused

Xitlali Parada,
El Cerrito, CA

As someone who comes from Mexican descent and grew up in the US, my own understanding of my race is confusing to say the least. I often feel stumped when it comes to picking a race and will pick none and focus on my ethnicity instead. However, I still don’t feel my ethnicity really captures my lived experience, or identity.
