“For Latinos, we are too black and for African Americans we are not black enough,” one scholar says. 'We really need to design strategies to get to know each other.'
For Edgar Bautista, 25, also known as Jubal, every day in Chicago feels like “living in two different worlds.”
He grew up in the city's North Side and attended a military academy, where the student body population was mostly black or Latino. He identified with both groups since he found similarities in customs and traditions. In Chicago, Mexican-Americans make up almost 75 percent of the city's Latinos; many live in the neighborhoods of Pilsen in the city's Lower West Side and La Villita in the area of South Lawndale. Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Dominicans make up most of the rest of the city's Hispanic population.Raquel Dailey and Rebecca Wooley, founders of BoriquaChicks.com.
