i hate the way people will say the most out of pocket nonsense about Latinos in the US and then act surprised when people say they’ve got some racism issues. “oh if it weren’t for the fact that people in the USA hate everyone with ancestry from Latin America, lock Latino children in cages even under democratic presidents, and regularly hop on tv to call all Latinos evil rapists and murderers, they’d all be considered white” yeah no SHIT if literally every aspect of how Latinos in the US are racialized was different, they would be racially categorized in a different way, that is a very intelligent thing to say about race relations and doesn’t at all exacerbate issues thanks you are so wise and educated and learned

#i followed someone on here that did this too. like ‘i can’t be racist against latinos bc a lot of them are white’ firstly if u start calling #italians dirty immigrants who have too many kids someone is going to rightly call u a bigot it doesn’t *matter* the race of the person if #you are purposefully engaging in bigotry against that person bc of their ethnicity! and SECONDLY #like…a lot of asians are light skinned a lot of indigenous people are white a lot of arabs look white etc etc #every group has a lot of variance bc people are varied. just bc a large swatch of arabs ‘look white’ doesn’t mean they are treated that way #it is not different with latinos. you are zeroing in on this specific group to justify your ‘i don’t hate latinos i just think they should #live with Their People and not with My People’ racism bc you think hating another minority will gain you privilege with white supremacy. #they are trying to coup several countries right now bc this country views latin america as it’s fucking war games playground do not talk to #me about privilege that latinos apparently have when my aunt was frantically telling students to keep their parents from work bc there was #a fucjing ice raid going on in the city!!!!!!!! fuck you genuinely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #rani makes text posts no one will read #also the way people will pretend like latinos are the *only* voting block of poc that vote conservative. EVERY SINGLE VOTING BLOCK DOES THIS #TO SOME EXTENT.
