"I intentionally avoid wearing certain labels because of Asian stereotypes [that we wear lots of them]. I feel like I would seem totally cliche if I wore Burberry or Louis Vuitton, so I won't even consider buying their clothes as a result, even if I like them." — Sue Jin, Asian American
"I think that a lot of people expect latina women to be very voluptuous and sensually dressed at all times, like a Sofia Vergara type, and, growing up, I resisted that as much as I could because I really didn't want to prove the stereotype right. I don't think there's anything wrong with women who prefer that look though, and as I've gotten older I've allowed myself to try it out more the way women with other backgrounds might, but I still occasionally feel like a caricature of my race when I'm dressed like that." — Eva, Mexican American
