The American dream has never been as easily accessible to minority citizens as it is to American-born citizens. Affirmative action was first implemented around the year 1972, however it was not widely accepted or practiced. During this time society was just getting used to including women in institutions of higher education, so the concept of including minorities in higher education was almost non-existent. My Beloved World, by Sonia Sotomayor, shows the challenges that a first-generation, lower socioeconomic status Puerto Rican woman faced during this time. Through his autobiography he shows the difficulties he faced throughout his life, focusing on his college application, university experience and insight into his cultural background. My Beloved World features White Supremacy ideology and other phenomena such as structural inequality and socioeconomic inequality that interfere with Sonia's inability to receive college preparation and these things show that America has not kept its promise of equal opportunities for all. Due to the presence of structural inequalities, Sonia went through emotional and mental distress throughout her school career. The structural inequality in Sonia's life was due to the plethora of discriminatory comments or setbacks she encountered because she was from a lower socioeconomic minority. A key example is when she explains how she felt and was treated throughout her high school life. He attended a Catholic high school that served disadvantaged children of Irish and Italian immigrants. Sonia grew up with little to no expectations for higher education. At his school, the idea of ​​higher education for students already exceeded parents' expectations and would make them extremely... half way ......rican Dream is the idea that one can come from the world the worst possible background, work hard and achieve success. To make this goal achievable for as many people as possible, our country was built on the promise of equal opportunity for all. However, even though our founding fathers wanted equal opportunity, contradictions exist between the intended equality and reality. Sonia Sotomayor wrote an autobiography that effectively highlighted these contradictions. Sonia has faced white supremacy, structural inequalities, and racialization throughout her life that have humiliated her, attacked her mental and emotional well-being, and forced her to work harder than her white counterpart to achieve the same things. His experiences show the unresolved contradictions of American history and these phenomena and ideologies that threaten the founding promise of equal opportunity for all.
