1. A visible minority is someone that right away we can see and already place them in a group. When we see an asian women, we already know that she is asian and place her in that group right away. An invisible minority is a little different; it is when someone is a minority but we may not be able to tell right away. It could be someone who looks mainly white, but maybe when they speak we undestand that they are not. Or maybe someone of a different sexual orientation, we can not tell that by looking at them but maybe when we get to know them we figure that out.
2. Sticking to your own kind means that you hang around/ are with people of your own race, gender, sexual orientation. It doesn't matter which "kind" you mean, but just that you hang with those type of people and no others. Some people stick to their own kind because they feel comfortable with people like them, they believe they won't judge them and they will always befriend them. Also, sometimes people are left with no choice because people don't want to hang with them except their own kind, or their famiilies are against them hanging with other "kinds".
3. Her main struggle is her internalized racism, she is against her own culture and does not want to be iffiliated with anyone of her asian heritage. She overcomes it when she meets other people of her culture and other people who tell her how empowering it is to embrace their cultures.
4.This may sound bad, but I do not really feel that I need to tone down any aspect of my identity. I am an average white female living in a suburban area. I don't have much of an accent or anything to really take me out of the crowd.
