Rita and her old friend Juan get into an argument. Juan eventually accuses Rita of ""acting white"". Rita is offended as she has always thought of herself as Hispanic and that she behaved as such. A symbolic-interactionist would explain this as Juan and Rita associating different racial meanings with certain behaviors. True or False?

A symbolic interactionism is a theory in sociology which states that how people relate to the society by employing different aspects that they have developed over time from their individual lives. It develops from the practical consideration and refers to the utilization of people's dialect to make normal implications of their life.

It is a reference frame to closely understand how people interact with other people to create their symbolic worlds and how these worlds helps to shape the individual behaviors of the person.

Thus in the context, Rita is creating her own symbolic world that she belongs to Hispanic race and behaves and interact with others like a Hisapnic people does.

Thus the answer is --

True
