This presentation, aimed at promoting awareness through the Spanish Club, challenges the assumptions we make about ethnicity based on appearances. Can you really determine someone’s ethnicity just by looking at them? You might be surprised! We'll introduce prominent figures such as Christina Aguilera, a proud Ecuadorian-American, and Tony Romo, a Mexican American, reminding us that ethnicity can be diverse and complex. Additionally, discover the global impact of the Spanish language, which is the first language for nearly 350 million people across 21 countries.
