In this chapter, Anzaldua states that if her people--a people of color--and culture are attacked by those outside of her culture, that she will defend her culture. She even states that she understands why, when people of color are put down by Anglo culture, people of color glorify the values of their non-White culture. Why does this glorification of non-White culture by people of color occur?
a. Because non-whites refuse to accept that, since the passage of Civil Rights legislation in 1964, race no longer matters because all races are now equal; it is individual motivation and hard work that leads to success. b. Because non-whites refuse to let go of the so-called 'race card', playing the 'race card' whenever possible. c. Because non-white groups refuse to assimilate into the dominant cultural norms. d. It offsets the extreme devaluation of non-white cultures by the dominant white culture.
