C. Reflecting on the following quote from the chapter should contribute to your discussion:
“It was then that I realized that growing up I had been infected with a terrible disease many Mexican Americans and other Latinas/os suffer(ed) from. It is an emotionally and psychologically debilitating disease that a lot of people have had and don’t even realize it. This disease is a by-product of racism and ethnocentrism. This disease has been called internalized oppression and is the result of whitestreaming in society – especially in schools.” (p. 48-49)
Be sure to appropriately cite the chapter and any other sources used according to APA format.
