Hispanic Man vs Man

manmirrorA couple of weeks ago I set the stage for a question:  Do you see yourself as a Hispanic man…or a man?

When you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, who stares back at you?  A man or a Latino?  A woman or a Latina?  When is it that you walk into your culture…is it when you get dressed, or prepare your meal or turn on some music?

How would a Black man respond?  Does a white man see a white man or a man?

I wonder how many Latinos see themselves as men (or women) first, and then Latino – or vice versa.

Your answer may show how culture dominates your outlook, and I’d imagine differing generations would have varying degrees present.

Personally, when I wake up I’m disassociated with the conversation of  society – it’s just me and the new day.  Slowly the reality and conversations of the world catches up to me and I done the cloth of culture.
