Riassunto Discussions on Latino/a students’ interpretation of the opportunity structure and schooling treat racial/ethnic identification among Latino/as as static, despite skin color variation. This article provides findings from interviews with six Mexican students who discussed teachers identifying them as 'White-looking' or 'Hispanic/Mexican-looking.' Both groups shared belief in the achievement ideology and understood the opportunity structure as fraught with barriers. However, the 'White-looking' students perceived themselves as being able to permeate such barriers meanwhile the 'Hispanic/Mexican-looking' students believed such barriers affect their ability to 'make it' regardless of their aspirations. This study raises questions regarding theories on academic variability of Latino/a students.
