According to Anzaldua, “Chicano Spanish is considered by purists and by most deficient Latinos, a mutilation of Spanish” (Anzaldua 32). The Chicano-Spanish versus Spanish conflict that occurs in Latin American society is a prime example of people seeing themselves as right in a situation where there is no right answer. Latinos who speak what they think is normal Spanish are disturbed by the change in the Spanish language. They believe that their own opinions are being questioned, they believe that they are right, and they believe that anyone who challenges their opinions is inferior. People who see all other points of view are, in reality, just trying to make themselves seem more powerful. As in Tan's essay, people demeaned others in order to promote their own views, thereby gaining power over the others they demeaned. According to Tan, "She said they wouldn't give her any more information (...) And when the doctor finally called her daughter, me speaking in perfect English - and that's it - we had the assurance that the scan be found” (Tan 2). of what they consider to be good English, anyone who does not speak good English is generally considered uneducated. In Tan and Anzaldua's essays, lack of open-mindedness is one of the reasons for. which people want to become more powerful than others People don't realize that what they believe in is not always the right answer, as with stereotypes, people try to gain power over others in order to gain power for themselves. make you look more beautiful.
