Just Me

“A boy I was seeing used to always tell me how into hooking up with Latina girls he was.  He told me his friend was so jealous that he was hooking up with a Latina girl, it was on his bucket list apparently.  They’re supposed to be “sexy” &  “spicy” and things like that.  I know he didn’t mean to minimize me to a stereotype and at the time I was flattered, but looking back I’m upset.  I was being held to a sexual standard just because of my ethnicity.  I just want to be me.” – Female, 20
