What are we to make of [Enrique] Tarrio — and, more broadly, of Latino voters inspired by Trump? And what are we to make of unmistakably White mob violence that also includes non-White participants? I call this phenomenon multiracial whiteness — the promise that they, too, can lay claim to the politics of aggression, exclusion and domination. (1/15/2021 in Washington Post)
Cristina Beltrán

Julissa  Arce
We cannot make ourselves or allow others to make us small so we can fit in the minds and hearts of white people. America might never love us back, so we must love ourselves.
Julissa Arce, You Sound Like a White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation
