since im half deliriously bitching about things anyways, i would like all non-latino people to stop. just stop! stop talking about latino culture. stop having weird takes about latino characters. stop acting like we're either flamboyant af or vicious. stop pretending u are an authority on our culture. leave us aloneeeeee.
