200%ers ¡Presente! | 100 % Latino / 100 % American | Radar 2021

For many Latinxs, our biculturalism is key to understanding who we are. There are those of us that relate to the phrase, ni de aquí, ni de allá, meaning you’re neither from here, nor from there. That’s because a lot of us Latinx hyphenates exist between two worlds where we’re frequently made to feel that we aren’t American enough, nor Latino enough. Today, more of us identify as 100% American and 100% Latin Americans…be it Mexican, or Puerto Rican, or Dominican…you fill in the blank—we’re opting to be two-hundred percenters. Both from here and from there. Picking a side would be an affront to our authentic selves. Because of this, Millennials and Gen Z-ers are shifting away from assimilation and instead, are choosing to express our biculturalism in all forms. Whether it’s through the businesses we build, the languages we speak, the global politics we follow, or the content we create, bicultural Latinxs are no longer apologizing for being exactly who we are.
