How do you feel about lighter latinxs calling themselves black vs afro Latinx? I’m conflicted and not sure if I’m being colorist by not wanting them to use the term black. Black to me represents being visibly & identifiably black in America.
Part of me feels bad for feeling that way but then I’m like I don’t get to take away the Afro from my Latina. It’s evident in every facet of me.

I don’t think it’s something to feel bad for because it’s pretty common for them to pick and choose when they want to be black

A whole TED talk can be had on that
