Thank You! My bff is Afro Latina and people still question her ethnicity, accuse her of not wanting to be “just” black (fuck you assholes that said this to her). They are erased from soaps and tv shows. And yes almost all the news correspondents have light eyes and skin.

I’m so ready for Latinx ran media. We’re not a monolith, but everyone treats us like one. Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Brazilians, Mexicans, Hondurans, etc. Our issues are so different from each other but the politicians, Hollywood, and news organizations all pender to us in the same condescending ways.

Because there are so many permutations, I try and ask how people self-identify, or try and avoid generalities in re: groups of people. That said, I support your garlic initiative and would like…

It’s to promote inclusivity, so we won’t stop.

I understand the need for some people to have a label like latinx.

I wonder if Laverne is still working there?
