This month we are taking on an episode of the Code Switch podcast: "What Does it Mean to be Latino?: The 'Light-Skinned Privilege' Edition" which features guests Maria Hinojosa and Maria Garcia.
Maria Garcia and Maria Hinojosa are both Mexican American, both mestiza, and both relatively light-skinned. But Maria Hinojosa strongly identifies as a woman of color, whereas Maria Garcia has stopped doing so. So in this episode, we're asking: How did they arrive at such different places? To find out, listen to our latest installment in this series about what it means to be Latino.
