Another cool idea has to be language and how if you speak the same language, you’re literally a shoe-in.
Now this isn’t always true (speaking english doesn’t always make you a shoe-in in America, or in any country where the predominant language is spoken), but it does work when you find someone who speaks a language that isn’t prominent in that area.
Being able to communicate with someone in another language that others don’t understand opens a whole new window of ways to connect and share. For some it may mean insides joke while for others it may mean job opportunities and acceptance. How much you’re able to get away with is amazing.
By speaking another language, you could easily get access to a whole underground network of clubs, drugs, jobs, and hook ups that you wouldn’t otherwise know of unless you spoke the same language.
In many ways, race has made language has made it harder for us to accept that we are all different. In our english class alone, we have read about English Only Movements and have witnessed racism even in our classmates, “there’s something about it when you hear it in spanish”. It shouldn’t matter if it was in english, spanish, chinese, or jamaican, say it in a language we can all understand and stop being such a bitch about it.
