The way we see ourselves and wish to be seen by others is oftentimes different than how society actually views us, especially for marginalized individuals living in a white dominated America.  Claudia speaks of two particular instances when society projected their negative, stereotypical views onto her, deeming her violent, aggressive, or a gangster because of her Latino heritage.  Projection of a stereotype onto an individual steals their power of self-representation.  Representations of her identity are presented in color, and stereotypes are shown in black and white.
