Assignment task: Jayden is a 28-year-old woman. She lives in Sacramento, CA, where she was born and raised. Her mother is Puerto Rican and her father is of Swedish descent but was raised in Spain. Jayden is the oldest of three children. She has a younger brother and what she refers to as a baby sister. Jayden has always wondered from where in the family she inherited her looks. Her sister is tall, thin, and fair-skinned, with long, straight, black hair, and, in her own words, "can pass for White." Jayden has always struggled with her weight, has curly hair, and brown skin. Her family only speaks Spanish in the home, and although she understands it, she only responds in English. Jayden was on a Zoom call with some of her old college roommates. They were talking about a mutual friend who recently got married. One of her old roommates said, "Tara got to marry into White and rich once she stopped speaking like the help and started blending in."
