"To the person who’s felt not Latina enough because of not being low-income, my experience with Latinos/Latinas has been the opposite. The people I’ve met who identify as Latino/a tend to be from a middle income background, or grew up privileged in other ways. I’ve yet to meet another inner city, low income, public school graduate, and I feel like just as often, I get discredited because I don’t exactly fit the stereotype of inner city minority youth. Despite that, I’ve also probably been part of those trying to make you feel less Latina based on my own income background, so I’d like to apologize for that. Seeing the spectrum of income and privilege among Latinos here has taught me that Latino/a is so much more than my hometown, a media image, and political statistics."
