Ambiguity

Me dicen güerita No morenita Quien soy? Sabrina Camargo

Where are you from Who me—Or my parents Depends who asks

Why can’t I just be me

Hablas muy bonito el español a pesar de haber nacido aquí Y el novio Le deberias de ayudar a tus papás

The brown girl with good grades The brown girl with only white friends Who am I?

You’re really pale for a Mexican, look I’m tanner than her You don’t have an accent when you speak English You’re actually smart, are you sure Spanish is your first language

Why can’t I just be me

Too Mexicana to be American Too American to be Mexicana What am I?

I walk with my head high in search to accept me
