Every single Latin American nation was founded upon colonialism, imperialism, and White supremacy, but most folks don't know that sadly.

As someone of Indian decent, let me tell you @@BotheredBoy , there are a lot of parallels between Latin and Indian imperialist imposed legacies.

[@mr.goblin6039]

I’m Puerto Rican. When I got to high school and then college, I was surprised by a lot of the white supremacy that was pretty prevalent in my home island. Through out school, they really brainwash you into thinking racism isn’t a thing here anymore, but it ABSOLUTELY is still a thing. There’s a BIG issue of colorism and racism here that is often ignored and excused. Much like our Dominican brothers and sisters, we have a culture that grew up on “I’m not black, I’m Boricua/Dominican”. It’s sad as fuck. We still have this bullshit to this day. We had a black news man who’s entire career was filled with nothing but racism towards him. We had a black politician who ran for governor and most of the criticism against him was mainly “lol, he’s black so he would be an awful governor”. So much of it is STILL prevalent.

[@BotheredBoy]

Yeah, we have a lot to unpack as Latin Americans. Thank you for the additional Puerto Rican insight! It's quite appreciated.

Boricua here as well. My pops is a boomer jibaro and he throws the word moreno/a around like he gets a nickle every time he says it. I didn't realize how deep this stuff runs in the general zeitgeist or the island until I was older and really started to analyze him, and the culture in general. It seems to even extend to discrimination to PRs born on the mainland regardless of their skin color as being illegitimate simply because they were born state side.

[@alittlepuertoricanboy1993]

Stateside boricua, presente. I didn't realize how much casual racism was in our culture until I got to a certain age. It's actually disgusting and disheartening, especially because I have always seen us as a beautiful blend of "Spaniard and Afro-Caribean".

[@harrifongostudios]

@@lonewolf5973 y quien te da la autoridad para decir quién es y no es boricua? Si te sientes defensivo, sientes que tu identidad se está atacando de una manera. Tienes que saber que eso no es el caso. La cultura cambia igual que los valores. Esta nueva generación está tratando a examinar lo malo en el mundo y tratar a corregirlo. Te voy dar un buen ejemplo de el racismo boricua. Nosotros nos sentimos bastante unidos y mucho de nosotros tenemos un orgullo de nuestra gente de color. Pero hay mucha gente en la población que tiene una clase de lavamiento de cabeza la cual deberemos erradicar con educación. Un evangélico estaba en la oficina de doctor donde estaba mi madre. Había pasado el huracán de Haití . Y este canto de pendejo uso ese tema para predicar diciendo que Dios había mandado ese huracán por culpa de que eran negros. Yo tengo un familiar blanco boricua, y lo único que postea en Instagram es de la superioridad de la cultura española y narrativas de la superioridad de el oeste. Hay mucho ejemplos, pero casi toda la gente en Puerto Rico se aman uno al otro. Y para seguir demostrando ese amor, deberíamos examinarnos y sacarnos de encima la raíz de el racismo, y uno de los sitios a es en el lenguaje.

How many times do we have to keep telling people that Latino/Hispanic is not a race. It’s a shared culture, history and language. There are so many different races in Latin America. The United States really needs to stop putting all Latinos/hispanics in the same boat.

[@josephinetracy1485]

It's interesting that the media, American society, or whatever one wants to call it, simply will not allow Giselle Bundchen to be referred to in even the remotest way, or even just geographically as "Latino." I guess a German cannot be "Latino" despite a huge German population in Argentina or south Brazil. It's crazy.

La raza no existe. Es un concepto anglosajón, que como buenos pueblos bárbaros de europa siempre tuvieron mentalidad tribal, es decir, juntarse con ellos aunque eso llevara a veces a la endogamia. Los hispanos-americanos son descendientes de la mezcla latina (europeos) con otras tribus nativas de la zona producto de la herencia de la cultura Romana. Los verdaderos pueblos latinos descendientes del Imperio Romano son los españoles, italianos, franceses, portugueses y rumanos. El "resto" de Europa nunca fueron descendientes de Roma, ni siquiera en lenguaje, esa es la mejor prueba, porque todo puede borrarse con el tiempo, menos el vocabulario de las personas. Es irónico cuando anglosajones tildan a Hispanos de no ser "occidentales" cuando por herencia, lenguaje, tradiciones, cultura, etc son más descendientes de Roma que ellos mismos. Cada vez que un anglosajón dice que es la herencia de Roma miente, consciente o inconscientemente. El Imperio Romano jamás creyó en razas, y nunca se negó a unir pueblos que en "sangre" sean diferentes. El Imperio Español siguió su ejemplo en América, fusionando culturas que antes no se conocían. De ahí la leyenda negra inventada por el mundo anglosajón para desacreditar a España y afirmar que "el mestizaje" es malo y contrario a lo "civilizado". De ahí que en esa mentira, ellos, los anglosajones se "dicen" descendientes de Roma, ya que el concepto de pureza racial fue creado por ellos , y fueron siempre ellos los que como pueblos tribales y bárbaros de Europa, veían con desdén a otras poblaciones diferentes a ellos. Grandes males de la humanidad como el racismo aún imperante se lo debemos a los anglos, que al ser la "cultura dominante" enviaron su mentalidad tribal a otros pueblos, infectando incluso la mentalidad de los verdaderos pueblos herederos de Occidente (Imperio Romano).

[@doreenramsey1016]

Latinos are a race. They are the children the Spaniards produced when they landed in the Americas and raped the black indigenous people. Just like Chinese, Japanese Filipino etc. You will see black indigenous people in South America with wavy hair and black skin. In the Philippines they are called the Aeta indigenous peoples and they have the same features as Chinese and Filipinos. Even in the Pacific you will see the black indigenous and the mulattoes thanks to the British who came and whiten their race. The middle East and wherever besides Africa.

[@timasuna1756]

I don't see how anyone has trouble understanding what Latino is. How many countries in Europe have a shared language? Almost none.

[@liamsmith4018]

@@breakingboundaries3950 I'm just confused what the point is. English doesn't really have accent marks most of the time, you just remember where the stress is... And putting the stress at the end makes it sound less like the way you say latino or latina in Spanish. So all it does is make it look kinda Latin to people that only speak English and make it sound more silly to people who actually speak Spanish. I don't blame people for not knowing this but nouns that end in e don't do that in Spanish. It's estudiAnte not estudianté, gEnte not genté, agEnte not agenté. The words that end in é are almost always verbs in the past tense and first person except maybe some french loan words. The only explanation i can think of is that it sounds more like the way white people say Latinx. They always say it like that Latinéx Latin. X. even though they say latino more or less normally not Latinó. When people use inclusive language in Spanish they will say persones latines, gente latine, les latines, with the standard emphasis on the second to last syllable. No accent necessary.

The imprint left by colonialism and its colorist system is lived here on the daily, and its almost shameful to think that a lot of people in Latin American (regardless of race/ethnicity) struggle to recognize that there's such an issue here. It is way too common here to hear people say "mejorar la raza" (literal translation: 'improve the race' i.e to have 'whiter' children). Racial issues I think are imo a lot more complex over here given that the boundaries between what constitutes each racial group are severely blurred (heck notice how 'Latinos' are lumped in despite just being an essentially geographical term); and the amount of thought given to racial issues is abysmal in comparison to say what the US has done. Once widely acknowledged only then can we take massive steps to remove prejudice & inequalities within our societies.

[@BleedForTheWorld]

As someone who is brown latino and grew up extremely conservative in many ways, I grew up not thinking about any of this. We grew up not caring about any of it at all.

Pretty great summary on this issue for people that are out the loop.

Race got tied to economics and politics and there were so many civil wars that sprung from that. Also yeah colorism is still very much present in Latino communities where grandmothers rejoice when their grandchildren are born with light skin and theres always somebody who says something negative about having curly hair or darker skin.

I didn't say that the US didn't have a negative impact on Mexico, of course it did. What Im saying is that from the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1519 to Mexican de facto independence in 1821, the caste system ravaged Mexican society. Immediately after winning independence there was infighting amongst the different factions and that lasted before the US started getting involved. 1836, if we count the Texas Revolution, is when American citizens went into Texas to form a break-away state. Then 10 years later in 1846 was when the US formally attacked and stole land from Mexico. And guess what happened after that? Um civil war from 1858 to 1861, which again was stirred up by internal conflict, and then there was the French Intervention between 1861 to 1867. The three periods in Mexican history where the US extended itself the most was the Mexican American War, the Porfiriato ( 1876 - 1911 ), and then the Mexican Revolution and Border War between 1910 - 1920. TLDR: the caste system ruined Mexico and led to disunity upon independence which allowed the country to be taken advantage of easier by the US. Institutionalized racism had been cemented in Mexico for centuries before the gringos even had a border with Mexico 🤦‍♂️

“Blanqueamiento” doesn’t exactly mean to make something better, it means to hide how bad something is under a more pleasant façade, which is probably even more racist lol. Another very racist Spanish term: “trata de blancas” which means human trafficking. It’s “trata de blancas” and not “trata de personas” because kidnapping, abuse and enslavement was only a crime when committed against white women.

Being Latino is something cultural, it is the region in the world that has the most mixture of races, that is something important to keep in mind. The wealthy class (not all of them of course) is the one that has historically marginalized the rest, many average people idealize that social class, that is why many people try to bond with them and putting aside what for them represents poverty. Classism is a major problem in Latin America.

If you're trying to identify as white you're not white. Whiteness was created in America. And the definition of white means not mixed according to British eugenics standards. So, anyone that's not British and unmixed is technically not white. That includes Eastern Europeans aka Russians, Southern Europeans aka Italians, and the other Latin countries, France, Spain etc. because they all have mixed ancestry. The Latin speaking countries Black ancestry is from over 800 years ago. They deny it but it's known anyway. Germans tried to claim pure whiteness during WWII but they failed and didn't meet the qualifications that were set up in the US because of their mixed ancestry. So, they claimed they were superior because they were German. But it was still a failure. That's why claiming whiteness is stupid. Because there is no one that doesn't have Black ancestry and if you were able to successfully breed out all dominant traits you would be insanely inbred, which the British and white Americans are. That's why they have high congenital and genetic diseases, lots of mental disorders, and have trouble reproducing. They've bred themselves to only have recessive traits. They are inbred. Therefore, they are white and you are not. They know they are inbred and are happy to be so. They are proud of their "pure" genetics. Research American Eugenics and you will understand that trying to fit into whiteness is the stupidest thing ever.

[@Joyful_Smiles]

Clues to knowing you are not white: Your native language is Latin and not Anglican. You have black hair. You have dark eyes. You have "dark features" or "exotic features". You're Catholic. You're Slavic. You're Asian. You're Latin. The One Drop Rule aka one drop of colored ancestry. Whiteness is not just determined by skin color but also ancestry and heritage.

[@Joyful_Smiles]

They allow other groups to identify as white because they need the numbers for power and influence. They only tolerate those groups and use them to do the dirty work of racism. After the 1965 Civil Rights Act passed tolerance was the new word of the day. Then the immigration act was passed the following year. So now, they tolerate non-white groups to identify as white because they understand those new groups can be exploited, especially if the new groups desperately want to be white and believe it's a privilege. Whites are actually the minority and have always been so. Research the Bacon's Rebellion. It's when whiteness was created so the minority wealthy could remain in power. Non-whites don't usually realize they're being exploited until 2 or 3 generations later. By that time it's too late and the people realize they've been used, have lost their identity, and are in poverty. Then some are deported back to their homelands or they're forced to go back because of poverty. Also, there are huge numbers that die fighting in America's wars or have PTSD. Some white wanna-be groups are still holding onto the fairytale of whiteness after hundreds of years of being in poverty and unkept promises, the Scotch-Irish. They fall for the white supremacists promises every time. Probably because they're mixed with British ancestry and speak English. But they are mixed with Irish and were always rejected by the British even when they were in Ireland. It's always funny to see when the Irish can't believe they're not white because they exclaim with all sincerity that "the Irish are the most palest group in Europe." LoL Their reaction is hilarious!!! How they forget that Ireland was the first country to be colonized by the British and fight for freedom pales any comprehension. 😂😂😂

My family is Mexican. My grandpa thinks white people are just better than non-white people. I was at a doctor’s office and one of the nurses was talking to me about how her partner’s mother is Mexican but extremely light skinned. When the nurse got pregnant her mother in law would always say that she hopes the baby has light skin and all that BS. When the baby was born and turned out to have fair skin, this lady was all happy and saying the baby was beautiful and lucky to have her family’s light skin. The nurse told me that she finally got sick of it and was like “I’m just glad that my baby doesn’t have your family’s huge nose!”and the lady got super upset. The nurse’s skin wasn’t even that dark, it was a light tan. After all this I took a moment to reflect and was like, holy shit. This nurse told me all of that information without me even knowing her at all; it showed me how much this experience bothered her if she’s willing to tell me, some random patient, about it.

That's if you view yourself as equal to other people, and all of us equal in having to die and being thrust seemingly out of nothing into our dying bodies. No one chose their body or race, or the history they inherited. But that concept is lost on the far left, unfortunately. They don't view people as equal, they think in terms of groups and original sin that can never be forgiven or washed clean. Victims can do no wrong, and oppressors can do no right. And the only way to move beyond racism is to pick it apart and dissect it endlessly and make it the primary focus of everyone's lives.

Since race itself is a social construct, it's not surprising that the definition of white changes to fit the desires of whomever happens to be in power. It even varies from country to country. In early America, you had to be Anglo-Saxon or Nordic to be considered white. Every new immigrant group had to literally petition the government to gain white status, including Greeks, Hungarians, Italians, Irish, etc. What people tend to gloss over is that Mexican Americans also did this. In fact part of the agreement ending the Mexican-American war was that Mexican people who were living on the annexed land (i.e. New Mexico, Texas, etc.) would be allowed to become American citizens, keep their white status and own land (rights that "brown" people didn't have). In the 1930s, the government tried to create a Mexican-American race category, and Latino orginizations protested it because being able to legally call yourself white allowed you to own a home, own a business and so much more. White privilege isn't just a vague concept. It has legal precedent. Until the Civil Rights Act, every group was trying to be white, and that's why you still have those check boxes for "white hispanic" and "non-white hispanic."

[@aulenebeckford6268]

Now as many school systems I've been in and as many museums I've been to, I can't tell you *where* I learned it. Could have been Californian elementary school. Could have been a Jesuit homeschooling program. Could have been Florida middle school. Could have been a Virginia high school. Or, again, literally any of the countless museums I've been to (though I think I studied the historic chart marking out the Carta in a textbook.) PPS: kinda disappointed you didn't get into the real, historic, famous WS folk who ran away to *certain* places in Latin America. Literal Confederates and Nazis ran away and resettled there.

You touched on some very valid points and at 70 years old I can attest to everything you said. I’m multiracial. My father was Puerto Rican, my mother was an Anglo white woman. My paternal grandfather and his parents were all listed on the US Census records as Mulatto or Negro. Because my mother was white, I inherited the fair skin and so have been able to pass as white. My Tia (aunt) used to say back in the 50s that my father’s union with my mother and producing children was “mejorando la raza.” That is the same meaning of the term which you used, blanqueando, and I never gave it much thought until recently. Yes, there are pure white Latinos and we come in every shade from black to blonde hair, blue eyed, fair skin people. But I am proud of my heritage.😊

I am the whitest of my family, since my dad was Spanish (not the colonizer kind, my mom kinda stole him from his family when she went to Spain, lol), and my grandmother often tells me that I am beautiful because "my hands and my feet are so clean" and I tell her that makes me uncomfortable, and that it is a racist thing to say (not towards me, but towards herself!) And she brushes it off. She often talks about "mejorar la raza" (making the race better, whitening, as you said) and I just stay there complelty uncomfortable with the fact that she thinks I am superior than her. And then you have my Spanish family, who called my mom slurs (I mean my grandparents, my dad and my uncles did not do that) and that treat me with reticient acceptance because I have BROWNER skin, but still whiter than those "black indians". It's sickening to watch my loved one be self depricating and praising me for something as arbitrary as skin tone, something I didnt choose or work for, when I know *they* worked their asses out for generations just to have a semblance of financial stability, while I am, arguably, a lazy fuck.

Teach them the definition of whiteness and they'll stop. Once people realize the true definition of whiteness they will stop trying to appropriate other people's identities. White means unmixed.
