Now, I’m ambiguously beige, when I’m in the Mediterranean belt of the world people assume I belong to them, but I don’t exactly “pass” for white, and don’t think of myself that way.

Now, my parents – one a Peruvian immigrant, one a first generation Mexican American – absolutely prized assimilation. But I absolutely consider myself Latino, and I consider my children Latino.

How do you think that this plays across generations? Is it a pendulum?

I worked in Latino television in the late 90′s (hobo you like that phrase for dating yourself) and I realized that once latinos assimilate they don’t want ti consider themsleves Latino. They want to think of themselves as white.
