Tired of constantly having conversations like this:
“Where are you from?”
“USA”
“But where are you really from?/But whats your nationality?/Are you actually american?.. like… full american?”
American isnt a race! American =/= white. Yes im “full american” even though im ethnically latino! If you want to know my ethnicity/race then just ask me that instead of implying im not a “real” american.
I know most people asking this arent doing so from a place of malice, but damn does it get tiring after the 100th time.
There’s a long history of passing as white in America which is sad.
I mean most Latin American countries tried to “mejorar la raza” themselves to varying degrees of success, it’s not just an America thing
America is actually less colorist than most of Latin America. Look at Mexican media for example. It’s all pasty whites
America today is a lot less white than countries like Costa Rica or Argentina or Uruguay
Oh yes so called Hispanic culture is very racist and anti black especially. Dominican Republic has a very clear proof of this. But Brazil too, the hierarchy was much more explicit according to how close to whiteness you were.
