In Racial “Triangulation” Revisited, Alexander elucidates the implications of racialization and the rigid role Latino workers have filled in the service industry. She explains the prominence of Latino individuals within certain industry jobs, such as those in the ‘back of the restaurant’; as a result of the association between the categories of “Latino American” and “Migrant Worker”. She further suggests that because minority workers are typically placed in the “lowest-wage and low visibility positions” there is a common belief that one must transform their identity to be more white (10). One Latino interviewee describes this strive towards alteration, “You can’t be heard talk Spanish…you’ve got to act the part if you want to be moved up” (14). This sort of racial take on “code-switching” is undeniably existent and prompts me to question how firstly, we might abolish these categorizations and social emphasis on racial differences, and secondly, how we eradicate the idea of “acting white” for better opportunity. This concept was especially rampant throughout my high school. A school which was comprised of a minority population of approximately 65%, the term “acting white” was tossed around excessively. I can remember in particular, a classmate saying she had to, “try and act more white” with the parents of the children she was babysitting. This social construct unfortunately influences the way minorities may present themselves when trying to attain a certain job. It is discouraging to see this belief that there is a need to separate oneself from their ethnic roots and racial category in an effort to seek out higher-visibility, higher-wage jobs.
