I loved how Encanto included a variety of colors of Colombians.

[@vanessavelez1107]

Encanto is literally my family 😂 my entire life I thought every Colombian was mixed like me and growing up is when I realized the racism and division that still exists and took pride in my moms black family as well as my dads indigenous family and how different they are from each other but we’re all still Colombian

[@Fueunachimba]

I appreciate Disney so much for that. They could’ve easily made an all yellow or white skinned family but they didn’t. It’s such a blessing to me

[@jorgebp4412]

That girl is right we are racist to each other. I’m a black Mexican from Guerrero where slavery was abolished first and we had a black president before Obama (Vicente Guerrero). I’m proud to be black or in my peoples words “negro”! Also yes more black Latinos on tv please!!!

[@mele9131]

This was such a nourishing, empowering Afro-Latino meal.❤

[@mau6099]

Andee you made me cry. As a black Mexican I’ve heard anti blackness from my own family and culture. Everything you said I have experienced. It’s so hard to find black Mexicans from Mexico as allies because they have been taught to dislike their blackness and those of us who are proud are constantly told to stop calling ourselves black because we are mixed and to accept everything else that we might be as equally important as a way to try and erase our black roots. I meet black Mexicans all the time from Mexico who are proud to say it but only within their families but never in public because they don’t want to be labeled as black because that makes them feel less. My people have so much confusion because of the anti blackness that resides in Mexican culture. I hope one day to see black Mexicans from Mexico stand proud and claim their blackness like Some of us have done all our lives. Afro-Mexicana♥️ Afro-Latina negra orgullosa! Thank you for this conversation.

[@92118]

I'm Mexican and I can understand how you feel. Mexicans are super prejudice within themselves. Just being morena is critiqued so I can imagine being black. I think it might be more difficult for black Mexicans because Mexico is soo mixed that the majority are light brown to light now. So it's rare now a days to see darker skin Mexicans especially in the media. Also the fact that the man who started and spread this whole mestizaje movement in Mexico made Mexicans think that we are only Spanish and Indigenous when we clearly are way more mixed than that.

True story, my husband's best friend is Dominican. He is dark but swears he is white. He says that he is not black, he's white. He selects white Hispanic on the census. So yea there are Afro-Latinos that deny their blackness.

[@jaeshasway]

Look at the Proud Boy Leader, Enrique Tarrio. Prior to that January 2021 incident, his Wikipedia page just had his name and a much more radical looking picture of him dressed in militant attire. Then, as if to try and improve his image and make him less racist and radical they added, Cuban American and then a bit after that Afro Cuban. You can search back in the edits and see when it was done so someone was trying to clean up his image. Now he’s pictured in a suit and looks like a politician or an attorney.

Yes because it really confuses the rest of the African diaspora and it creates a lot of question marks.

This conversation has to continue with the Afro-Latin & African Americans communities. The colorism thing is partially based on perception of what some people see & how someone speaks as it relates to a respective culture. (i.e. they don't really look black/black enough, you don't talk black enough) Another thing is not being part of a certain culture & purposely being excluded during social interactions because you're not part of a particular culture. In stating all of this, the basis is superficial. Sometimes we never get to connect with good people because of superficial conditioning. Whenever I see myself rejecting a person I just met I question is it superficial? If so, I know this is something I need to work on within myself. How did this way of thinking start for me? I invite anyone reading this message to do the same.

I love this i watched Queen of the south and it kind of upset me that the cast was full of European latinas and not really Latin people who are indigenous to the land or even Afro latinx ppl. It wasn’t until season 4 where they included Dominicans and showed an Afro Latino man but Mexico has dark ppl. Also the idea that everyone in central and South America who is dark is a byproduct of slavery is nonsense because the tropics will produce melanin dominant ppl way more than it will produce anything else so yes we are African because we are HUMAN but some of the ppl in this video could’ve come from ppl who have been in south and Central America before slavery was even an idea.
