For any Latino/a/ or Latinx person living in the U.S. there exists this debate of whether or not you’re Latino if you don’t speak Spanish. Although this is a somewhat common tension within Spanish speaking communities in the U.S, most of us would disagree that there exists only one way of being Latinx. In this we sit with five New College students who tell us about their experience between language and Latinidad.
