Welcome to White-Passing, where I, Ali Juell, and Jillyan McKinney, the Ethnic Studies teacher at Granite Bay High School, discuss being white and latinx. This podcast series will focus on ethnicity, race and what it's like to be (you guessed it) white-passing. New episodes every week.
We’re coming back from a brief hiatus, so I’m excited to be bringing you a new episode. So, what’s the difference between ethnicity and race? I had always assumed that they were the same thing: what physical characteristics a person has that can be attributed to a certain group of people. But in reality, ethnicity is a much more complex, abstract concept regarding how strongly we identify with our cultural origins or surroundings. Is one a more important and valid representation of a person’s background than the other? Mrs. McKinney gives a summarization of the two concepts. Mrs. McKinney also recants the experience of being stereotyped on campus as a latinx-identifying woman and the numerous words typically associated with Hispanic people that reinforce ethnic assumptions. That and more on today’s episode of White-Passing.
