Hispanic Privilege

After reading the article on white privilege I've come to realize that although Hispanics are often associated with being part of the marginalized groups in the United States, that I too have some privilege attached with my ethnicity. Here is my list.

1) I can identify with hair commercials  

2) I never think about not finding my skin shade in cosmetics. 

3) I know I can also find someone who speaks my language. 

4) Food I enjoy to eat is usually available anywhere I go. 

5) The majority of time, I am not the only Hispanic person in a room/area. 

6) As a female, I can wear "nude" pantyhose without thinking it will look awkward

7) I can go tanning without the people at saloons wondering what I am doing there

8) I get through airport security fast and do not get questioned
