Thoughts about "A Girl Like Me"

I enjoyed watching the movie "A girl like me". I thought it was so interesting and I guess I was kind of ignorant as to what African-American girls go through when growing up. As a Hispanic, I found some similarities between the two races.

I started thinking about how in hispanic communities we often stereotype hispanics by the way we talk or where we are from. There are chicanos, Mexicans, latinos and mix. There are stereotypes within the Hispanic community from the lighter hispanics to the darker, etc.

I thought the study the author of the video did with the dolls was shocking. It's incredible that nothing has changed within our society.
