Manuel accepts the values and attitudes of the majority culture. Although he is Mexican American, he is often embarrassed by other members of his group. He has a strong desire to assimilate into the mainstream. Manuel is probably in the Conformity stage of minority identity development.

Explanation: The minority identity development model is made up of 5 stages. The first of these stages is called "Conformity" and it is characterized by an individual who has a group-depreciating attitude towards other members of his own minority group. Moreover, in the Conformity stage, this individual has a group-appreciating attitude towards the majority culture, that is to say towards the dominant group. In that way, Manuel is probably in the Conformity stage because he feels ashamed of his own cultural group and  perceives the dominant culture as "positive" and "beneficial".
