As a Hispanic kid growing up in Storm Lake, Iowa, Matthew Marroquín had no concept of race.
“I just knew that if I go over to this friend’s house, I say ‘hello’ to their mother in this way, and if I go to a different friend’s house, I had to learn ‘sabaideebor’ for Laos, or ‘xin chào’ for Vietnamese,” he said.
