Level
3: In what ways do you identify yourself? Give 3 titles. Do any of these
conflict with one another? Why or why not? Are these different titles than what
other people would label you as? Explain.
The American conversation about race has always
been a black- and-white conversation, but the conversation has become as
bloodless as badminton.
I have listened to the black-and-white
conversation for most of my life. I was
supposed to attach myself to one side or the other, without asking the obvious
question: Why does it admit so little reference to anyone else? I am
speaking to you in American English that was taught me by Irish nuns—immigrant women. I wear an Indian
face; I answer to a Spanish surname as
well as this California first name, Richard. You might wonder about the complexity of
historical factors, the collision of
centuries, that creates Richard Rodriguez. My brownness is the illustration of that collision, or the bland
memorial of it. I stand before you as an
Impure-American, an Ambiguous-American.
