A recent article in Texas Monthly titled, “How Latino Texans Are Addressing Antiblack Racism,” featured Sandra D. Garza, PhD, an assistant professor & coordinator of the Mexican American Studies program at Northwest Vista College.

Sandra says, “By centering and prioritizing lighter-skinned bodies within the Latino community, we’ve been complicit in sowing the seeds of colorism, says Garza. “We don’t teach children to do antiracist work; we teach them to pass,” she says. “It just makes it somebody else’s problem.”
