You are a million percent correct. There is a lot of work to be done and it starts with our communities being self-aware and accepting of these issues. Most of the time, we shrug them off and refuse to acknowledge it.
As deep-seated as this issue is, I find the statistic you cite toward the end of the piece to be encouraging: "The number of Latinos who identified as multiracial increased from 3 million in 2010 to more than 20 million in 2020."
I, too, find it encouraging and I hope that we, as a collective people, start to have these difficult conversations within our community, starting with our families.
As a Cuban native, I can attest that this is also an issue in Cuba and by extension, Miami. There's definitely a lot of work to be done in this area.
