So only indigenous descendants are Mexican? Does that apply to the US too? So as the majority of people including African Americans, Asian Americans, Irish Americans, etc etc aren’t Americans either?

Except Michael Rapaport can never be black but he could travel to Latin America and become Latin American just as Ukranian and Russia immigrants (for example) traveled to the US later in their life and became Americans.

The problem is that people in the US constantly apply ethnocentric views to their heritage. And you can clearly see it in the using/confusing nationality with race. Mexican is the nationality of people from Mexico. It’s our nationality and thus what it means to be. Yet people in the US confuse it with ethnicity as if…

I’m Mexican and Puerto Rican and stuff like this drives me up the wall. Literally by some people logic, it would be the equivalent of saying Ilhan Omar isn’t american because she doesn’t have “US blood”. It would be beyond controversial and rightly so. Then people would go on about how the US is a melting point and…

And people here are confusing ethnicity with nationality as they always do in the US as if there is an “ethnic Mexican” or “Mexican blood” (as an example) as if it’s a race and as if the US was the only country that was a melting pot.

But you can’t be using the same words because first and foremost it is a nationality. It’s not specifically about her (I’m not arguing or care much) but like Hilaria Baldwin about the fact that this policing is as or as problematic. Like I remember in one of the discussion somebody saying that Hilaria Baldwin isn’t…

Except it’s nationality not race here. It’s what’s bothersome here that people keep calling her white as if there are no white persons here in Latin America. People keep talking as if they are races which is as offensive. To me it’s as offensive that people in the US are policing nationalities when it’s our…

Domincan isn’t a race, it’s a nationality. There are white people in the Dominican Republic. People are missing the bigger point that while it’s up to debate her national identity, it’s a lot worse how people in the US are once again equipping Race with Nationality as if you had to be born into it as if people can be…

There are white people here in Latin America. This are all nationalities. It’s to me insane that this post fails to acknowledge this which is more offensive to me than whatever this reporter claimed.

I think they might be panicking from the POV and fallout of this event to the public. Like the how you never think the guy who blows his fingers with firecrackers would be surprised by it but they do almost every time.

A lot of cancel culture is all about feeling morally superior by ending people, not in helping people grow. This bean dad thing is the best example because people are trying to cancel this girl’s dad supposedly to help her when it would be the worst thing for her and what she probably would like the least. Not that he…

It’s a nationality not a race. If she said she was Peruvian, she could just as well be because they are white peruvians just as there are white Mexicans, White Cubans, white brazilians and white Puerto Ricans. This idea in the US in so many things that happen because they can’t distinguish between race or nationality…

Nationality is not a race which is precisely my point. If she supposedly vacationed every year in Spain and her parents live there and she travels to there, she has a bigger connection to Spain that many people who claim nationality because of their descent when they have no ties to the country besides that and have…

Yeah and it was super weird what she did trying to pretend but still she has a connection with Spain and it’s weird to me that there is this outrage when if it was a person whose has never set foot in Mexico and knows nothing substantial but the basics about the country but their great grandparents were born in Mexico…

Yeah what a terrible answer as the perfect casting choice. She doesn’t look like her and is a different nationality. Adriana Barraza would be the better choice but no way is she getting it.

Yeah but that’s my point about the US. Italians is the nationality of Italy the country. Yet people in the US can claim the same nationality as a country without having any idea of the country just because they grew up with descendants. I’m Mexican and Puerto Rican (from Mexico and Puerto Rico) and it happens all the…

I said it before but it’s weird to me that people are so against the Hilaria Baldwin when the US is the country filled with people who claim nationality of places they never been, don’t speak the language and have no clue of what’s going on there culturally or politically.

I kind of find it funny that the US, country of the people who claim nationality of countries that they never been, don’t speak the language, or know anything about the country are having such a tough time with this woman. At least she went to the country and feels for it and if she gets citizenship, would be a…

Don’t you see? Ali Larter is the Victim here. Also how dare you question women’s idea o safety and how comfortable they are feeling safe? ( I might have confused my white liberal women defense for their prejudice).

This is why as bad as some comics are in their privilege in a lot of complains, I hate the answer back is “there is no cancel culture” because there is absolutely a culture out there of people looking for the dopamine release of tearing down somebody that didn’t fit into what they perceived is woke enough. That and…
