What does the metaphorical title suggest about
Williams's cultural identity?

It means that Williams has a very diverse cultural heritage, as she has a mix of ethnicities.

Explanation:

This question is about the article "Ethnic Hash," where the author makes a point and reports thoughts she has about her ethnicity. The author shows how confusing this is for her and her family, since she has different ethnicities, mixed together year after year, making her believe for many years that she was of no ethnicity. In this article, the author draws an analogy between foods and the cultural heritage that she has as a result of the mixture of different ethnicities.

as for symbolic actions, the narrator's tearing down the wallpaper in an attempt to find the "woman" in the wallpaper represents her struggle to retain or regain her sanity.   the wallpaper has been part of her confinement and by her tearing it down, she is freeing herself from that confinement.
