  1. Hi everyone.
  2. My name is Richard Galindo and I'm doing a video
  3. presentation for dr pagodas.
  4. Introduction to LGBT studies class.
  5. So position Haliti refers to how differences in social position
  6. and power shape identities and access in society.
  7. So the first uh picture that I'm going to use
  8. for the word procession.
  9. Now you will be this picture of glass.
  10. What sucks And some tape that I used to be
  11. the solar eclipse back in August 21, 2017 at 1:16
  12. p. m.
  13. with my ex boyfriend whose name was Jordan.
  14. Yeah, so the glass isn't one specifically um reminds me
  15. of position al Itty, but I think that the experience
  16. afterwards what reminds me of that.
  17. So uh my boyfriend, I we I mean my ex
  18. boyfriend, not my boy, We have argued so much throughout
  19. the year.
  20. We have been together for 10 months by August 2017
  21. and on that specific day during a solar eclipse, I
  22. remember it being a half day started off, well we
  23. need to sort of eclipse and it was pretty fun
  24. experience and I think that's a very nice memory because
  25. it was the first time ever that I saw a
  26. solar eclipse.
  27. However, afterwards we had argued really badly and arguments were
  28. things that were very common in our relationship and I
  29. thought that was normal.
  30. I since there was a lot of arguments that were
  31. happening in my home, I thought that it was the
  32. same thing everywhere else.
  33. Um it was very hard for me to leave the
  34. relationship as well.
  35. And okay, during this day on august 21st 2017 Jordan,
  36. he made me realize that uhh he made me realize
  37. my possession in this society.
  38. He, after I threatened him telling him that I was
  39. going to call the police and tell them what, tell
  40. them that he was distributing things that he wasn't supposed
  41. to. He um, he proceeded on calling me some very
  42. racist things.
  43. Um, he um, told me that police were not going
  44. to believe me because my skin color because I'm mexican
  45. and because I'm inferior to him, he's white.
  46. Um, unfortunately due to experience, it provoked a lot of
  47. feelings of invoked a lot of feelings of anxiety.
  48. Um, I started ruminating a lot.
  49. I would think to myself, what does he mean?
  50. I've never felt inferior with.
  51. So it's very surprising.
  52. But yeah, this picture reminds me of that.
  53. Um, and yeah, thankfully I ended up breaking up with
  54. him, I'm not so long after.
  55. So, uh, this is a picture of my current boyfriend
  56. Daniel. He's holding my hamster cast.
  57. This picture reminds me of the word intersectionality, which is
  58. a communicative communicative way in which the effects of multiple
  59. forms of discrimination, such as racism, Sexism and classism, combined,
  60. overlap or intersect, especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals
  61. or groups.
  62. So the reason this picture reminds me of that is
  63. because I'm currently living with a white man who is
  64. a professor at Rice University, I I'm a caregiver.
  65. I only make $12 an hour.
  66. It's not that much and he has a lot of
  67. friends who are also wealthy and successful and whenever they
  68. come enjoying I feel that I get treated different due
  69. to who I am and also my experiences and uh
  70. the uh different ways I live my life compared to
  71. them I guess.
  72. Um there's always this feeling of of discomfort and also
  73. um many of his friends don't tend to communicate with
  74. me either which makes me feel a little bad but
  75. I guess it's understandable.
  76. Um That's just the way society works and but I
  77. don't think it should be that way though.
  78. Our neighbors who are also white data sign not to
  79. talk to.
  80. I say hi they ignore my my greetings.
  81. They I don't know I guess it's a very strange
  82. thing for some people see a white successful man being
  83. with a mexican who um I guess looks like he
  84. can't be in the same position as a white successful
  85. man. But but yeah okay.
  86. Uh Living with him though it's it's amazing.
  87. I love it.
  88. He loves it.
  89. We like we like interacting with each other, we like
  90. interacting with our hand sir.
  91. And but unfortunately due to certain standards in society there
  92. are a lot of awkward uncomfortable experiences that I experienced
  93. the tempter sexuality.
  94. And yeah these this picture of my boyfriend with his
  95. hamster and this picture of um A glass that I
  96. took back in 2017 are good reminders of what intersect
  97. intersectionality and position maliti are to me.
  98. Um Thank you all for listening and watching.
