As a Hispanic guy who has lived in America and grew up in a suburb my entire life, I have always felt like I was in the middle when it came to race relations. Whenever the issue of race relations in America comes up, most of the time it's whites vs blacks. I am involved with poetry slams and there is a lot of focus on social justice. Whenever a poet uses race in a poem, most of the time it deals with the black and white relationship in America. Rarely do I hear a poem dealing with the Hispanic and black relationship in America or the white and Hispanic relationship or the Asian relationship with any other race. I have seen white people get called out for their indifference towards racial problems but rarely does anyone call out Hispanics or any other minority for their indifference. I sometimes think that if I never speak out against racism, then no one will notice because I am a minority. But if I was white, then someone would definitely notice and call me out on it. Maybe I just don't know that much when it comes to the issue of race in America. Until I started doing poetry slams at the age of 25, I never heard the term, "people of color" used before in my lifetime. It was always black or African American. I ran on track teams where the majority was black but never did I hear any of them refer to themselves as "people of color." It was always black or African American.
