Internalized racism is the belief among historically oppressed people that stereotypes about themselves are true. Black and Latino/a then follow through with this subjugation based on the ideology that the oppressor has stereotypically positive qualities and they themselves are not equal or inferior. Black and Latino/as would also suppress their own identities and cultures to conform to Eurocentric standards.
The first-person point of view is identified by singular pronouns such as; me, my, I, mine, and myself or plural first person pronouns like we, us, our, and ourselves.
