Brainstom 7 Teresa

Listening to the first episode of Undocumented and Awkward, I get that they are supposed to be awkward but when the one girl said that every one was so "articulate" after the two people from china had just spoken, I honestly almost lost my damn mind. It's very interesting to me how latino/hispanic culture is so diverse within it's self and actively fighting against injustices it faces. Yet much of it still continues to harbor underlying recial prejudices, especaily against people from Asia. I have really never understood it. As an edit I didn't realize that it was supposed to be like one person who was undocumented and everyone else being really ignorant about it. It's still really interesting. It also reminds we on this one sort of interview type video that was like talking to ted cruz supporters that came out when he was running against Beto O Rourke where there was an immigrant who was like i think illegal imigration is bad, like he had gotten here illegally, but now he was a citizen, and a proud supporter of the law and thus against illegal immigration. I always think that's funny when immigrants legal or not, just turn their backs on their community cause now they have it made.

Julio Salgados interview with TIME magazine is interesting to be because of the conversation of intersection. I feel like in many movements fro social change there are many queer people taking part and often helping lead the conversation. What is it about the intersection between different minority groups that pushes those people to the front? We see the same with women and social movements. I believe that because queer people and women experience additional oppression when compared with people in other groups that they belong to they feel more impassioned and can inspire more people to over through the systems holding them down. They connect with more people out side the movement in more ways as well wh.ch can help more outsiders to recognize the stuggle,
