The autoethnography in this article explores the author's struggle with racism. The emotional landscape causes her to blur the boundaries between the individual and collective human experience. She reflects on memories of discrimination and reveals the irony of how she lives in both a culture of diversity and a culture of prejudice. Reflecting challenges the author to realize that racism still exists despite societal efforts at advancing the notion of tolerance and multiculturalism. She explores constructs of ideology and hegemony, power and powerlessness, domination and resistance, representation and misrepresentation, normality and abnormality. By blending autobiography and ethnography, the author resolves a deeper understanding about the personal and cultural influences shaping racism
