To be a visible minority there are a lot of that group. A good example is African American and Hispanics. They are a minority, but there is still a good amount of them that they can still be with people of their same race. An invisible minority is a minority that you cannot tell from looking at a person. Such as a person who is gay, you may not be able to tell, but they are still a "minority".
To stick to your own kind means to hang out with people of your own race and not expanding your horizon. I think some people stick with their own kind because it is easier. They already have similarities, so it makes it easier for them to become friends. Also, you wont feel like an outcast if you are with people of your same ethnicity.
Her main identity struggle is that she doesn't feel like she belongs because she is the only person of her race in her school. So she tries to fit in with the rest of the students and in a way she disowns her own heritage to became more assimilated. But in the end, everyone thought that she should be proud of her culture, so she gives it a chance
I do not tone down any of my identity. I am a mixture of many races and I think that my entire family has become a part of the "American Culture". I am proud of who I am and where my family has come from so I don't feel the need to tone down any aspect of my life.
