There are studies that reveal specific cases of identity performance. These include the investigation on the experiences of Latino students in the American public education system. It was found that within culturally coded classrooms, members of this ethnic group have to perform identity in the form of behavioral signal that they are as worthy of achievement as their white peers.[11] This also underscored that the white identity serves as the standard and that the performances often emulated it so that they form part of the how individuals from different ethnic groups assimilate.
