• Question: Do you wish you were black? - Anonymous
  • Answer:

    No. If anything I just wish my name wasn’t the most Hispanic-sounding name ever. This isn’t because I’m ashamed of my heritage, it’s because I feel like I face discrimination over it. On paper you’ll read my name and this stereotypical image will pop into your head but once you meet me in person I’m super Americanized and I’m not who you thought “Enrique Juarez” would be. As far as my skin tone goes, I’m fine with it and I figure it’ll make me stand out more with what I want to do.
