"Grinding" is a word young adults know all too well. It is a form of dance popularized by hip-hop. Typically, the heteronormative dance involves two parties: a man and woman. Usually, the woman faces away from the man. Both parties slightly bend their knees. Soon afterward, the woman will begin gyrating her buttocks on the crotch of the man. Both members will sway in correspondence to the rhythm of the song being played. During the dance, it is commonplace for many males to exhibit sexual arousal. Meanwhile, on the other hand, after previous experiences with grinding, some women will find the dance to be mundane and lacking any pleasure.

After disclosing my ethnic identity, the reaction I typically receive is one of awe and bewilderment. Occasionally, some individuals retort that I cannot be black because I am Hispanic, or vice-versa. They argue Hispanics should be considered a separate group and our own race, but this is a misconception — “Hispanic” is not and should never be considered a race.
