In modern times, there have been various representations of exclusion to the colored idealism. As Augusto Rivera mentions in his interviews, when he arrived to the United States, there were signs for “Colored” and “White” people, neither of which he identified as. Although he identified as neither, he thought it would be simple to go for the “White” label, as it is the most accepted cultural norm in the United States. Discrimination for colored people are illustrated at a global scale and Augusto Rivera said it was bad in Perú but worsen when he arrived to the United States.
