The Race Card Project
By Michele Norris

When I was in middle school, I noticed that my classmates tended to form “cliques” with people of the same ethnicity. However, I preferred to learn about the values and traditions of other cultures. Speaking to people of different backgrounds continues to allow me to stay open-minded and gain new perspectives.

For as long as I can remember, I have been fluid with my sexuality. I love… everyone. I never made it a thing, I never came out with some grand proclamation. I just happened to start seriously dating a girl that I fell in love with. Of course I had to tell my parents, who I imagined would be a bit taken back seeing as though I had never brought home a girl before. My mom is rather open-minded, but her initial response was “but you played with dolls growing up”. This only solidified the need for our society to place everything in boxes or prescribe labels to things when I didn’t so neatly fit into one box or the other or identify with the labels gay, straight or even bi. And yes, I did play with dolls growing up, but that has nothing to do with who I decide to love.

Everyone that is not open minded see ALL Hispanic/Latinos that they are from Mexico and well of course that is not true because I am a Latina but from El Salvador.

I don’t want to be stereotyped as a racist just because I am Caucasian. I believe that only through open-mindedness, tolerance, and communication can we make this a better place. We should focus on dialogue and this might be a good place to start.

I was raised to be open-minded and appreciate all cultures equally. Then I grew up to discover that my culturally different friends were raised to see people quite differently. I have been pegged a white demon in at least a dozen situations. My parents believed that racism starts and ends at home. Sadly they were both right and wrong.
