I find it interesting that the author of Borderland La Frontera, Gloria Anzaldua, says this: "Or perhaps we will decide to disengage from the dominant culture, write it off altogether as a lost cause, and cross the border into a whole new and separate territory" (79). I feel like if white is a part of who you are, then how can you write it off altogether? You should be proud of who you are no matter who you are or where you come from. I thought it was good, but very strongly opinionated. Here is more analysis of this piece if you want to check it out.
