“Well you’re not like super Hispanic”

“You don’t talk like most Hispanic girls do, you don’t wear your hair like them, you don’t listen to the same music as them, you’re just not, well you’re not like super Hispanic”. This is what my white college roommate said to me during our first semester of freshman year when I asked her about her first impression of me. I said to her “well my mom cleans houses for a living and my dad is a maintenance worker and drives a pickup truck, does that help me qualify as super Hispanic?
