      Growing up on Guam before the 90’s I never really viewed white people in any other way than an authoritative figure or someone in the military. I’ve never seen white people as burger flippers, janitors, construction workers, and so forth until I went to the states.

      Being white gives you an enormous benefit IMO. You are MORE THAN likely to be viewed in a more positive way, if you were standing next to a person of color. I’ve seen that happen when I went to the PI. They thought I was my friend’s driver just because he was white. 😅

      These are just my experiences alone. I can’t speak for everyone.

      But I also believe this is why many CHamoru or people of color in general have self hate even if they don’t realize they hate themselves. Many folks grew up being told to look a certain way, act a certain way, and speak a certain way. It was the only way to be taken seriously.

      This, plus the media portrayal of white ppl just propagates the stereotypes from a young age, besides other reasons. Young ppl consume so much media these days. It wasn't even until recently that we saw islanders portraying big roles on the big screen! Representation matters.

      The only wealthy colored people I watched on TV was Will Smith’s Uncle Will on Fresh Prince of Bel Air 😅

      Sames. And the Rock. And he's half, but he was often portrayed as just black in many movies.
