“So willing — eager, almost — to shed our rich culture for the cheap thrill of being seen as American. Thinking that if one day they accumulated enough stuff, if they learned to act the right way, they could be seen as the same. And because of course, white America will never see them as equal, they die owning lots of things, but having lost themselves.” — Xóchitl González
