God damn so true. I learned very quickly how to tell in job interviews when the HR person had chosen me as their one Latina candidate and is surprised to see my pale Latina self walk in. I had a person ask me what I was post interview.

Point out the boxer Canelo or Louis CK who both are Mexicans with full citizenship. Super pale red heads. But in America majority of people have such a narrow definition of what a Latino looks like. I would seriously love a video where each well known and not so well known as a Latino pops up to say hey!

Yup. Usually it all comes down to how you are perceived and treated by those in power. Also there are Latinos who are black like Seu Jorge and Pele and those who look like Louis CK or Canelo Alvarez. Both red heads with light skin. Basically the US’s definition of what a Latino is supposed to look like is very narrow…

It helped me come to terms with certain aspects of being bi-racial. I am white passing, my sibling and quite a few of my cousins are not. And the class was originally going to be more on just gender dynamics. But the professor got a teaching position at a better paying school so she just decided fuck it. I’m teaching…

I took an amazing social science class on modern day class and racial structures. So I wrote an entire paper on this once I figured what was going on with my white side. (Well in particular with two aunts who wax on about the good days.)

She was voted in during 2008 when President Obama was not yet a sure thing for the Democratic nomination. I was working in this race as a staffer for an opponent and no one gave two shits. I had people look at me blankly when I would try to get people to even consider looking at the race. There was six people running,…

Thank you for this response and then gif.

I loved reading Zealot by Reza Aslan, because he points out how Paul was hated by the disciples of Jesus who knew historical Jesus.

Thank you.

While his buddy is just so much hotter so you suffer his fool ass to hook up with his hot friend. Google Guy Berryman is what I’m trying to say.

Go to slick deals everyday. The boyfriend and I found a KitchenAid that retails for $300 we got it for $150. Then it got stolen off our front porch. So now just waiting for the deal. Which happens like twice a year.

Yup it is the casual relationship with guns that bugs me so much. I grew up in shotgun houses with multigenerational hunters under a roof. However I had not clue my family had shotguns. Simply because my Dad, Aunts, and Grandpa all had gun safes which we hidden away from us children. It is so strange simply because I…

I grew up in a shot gun house. And I never even knew until I was old and mature enough for both my older brother and I to know and use them properly. My Grandpa and Dad did not show them off because they recognize just how dangerous guns are. They never pulled them out and tried to make them somehow a toy. They were…

I am stealing this phrase. I met a woman who was born and will always be a billionaire. It was through my job where I lucked the fuck out in getting it. I could not explain what it was like to meet someone like that. I learned a lot on that job, one was the difference between old and new money. Also most wealthy…

I’ve read Ms. Marvel and just find it so fun and a great storyline. I however have not read any Miles Morales but I’ve been meaning to pick up his first trade.

I mentioned this in another comment but while there was migration this was happening too. (See link below.) I would like to see a multi-generational drama starting in the 1500's where a Jewish-Spanish family escapes post Alhambra decree Spain for California. The family struggles but flourishes and watches as America…

They just need to make a Netflix tv show about Kamala. She already has a theme song.

You are just reminding me of younger me being so excited for Dark Angel because it starred Jessica Alba. She was a Latina and happened to be a super human. She was not the maid’s daughter or teaching the white kids about racism on the OC in a very special episode of the week. Also a Netflix tv show about Ms. Marvel…

This is what we did for my Mom. Me, my brother and father stood for seven hours, a constant stream of people. We saw so many people that day. If you ever find yourself in that situation. Make sure to eat. Take care of bathroom stuff before hand. Wear comfortable shoes like nice flats, no heels, and get someone to…

This was similar to my older brother and I until teenage years. It is probably multiple factors but I feel like our fights have made us better friends as adults. Instead of letting our anger build about childhood annoyances we had screwed up child retribution right then and there. We got our shit out.
