Race Code Switching Quotes

“But code-switching itself confirms that we must live our lives by codes, by rules, by standards and by norms. That we must conform fully at any one time. We have no language for being more than one thing at once. We only know and we are only taught how to switch, to slot ourselves in, to constantly, constantly please.”
― Nadeine Asbali, Veiled Threat: On Being Visibly Muslim in Britain
