I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.
One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.
A lot of Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive
I lot of Latinos are white, but she was not. Of course to a racist like this guy, no Latino is really white.
Please stop using "latinx".
Not as offended as they would be if called them Lafuckingtinx to their face lmao.
Only Americans seem to draw a distinction between Spanish descendents other European descendents. Presumably because they're poor and on the wrong side of a line someone drew on a map.
Antonio Banderas was bemused when he was labelled a "person of colour".
Yes I've had this argument with some Latino people. I guess they don't to be on the shitside of the stratification, but the racist whites hate them as well.
