A reminder that: 1) Everyone's a human being and plenty of PoC find reasons to adopt white supremacist ideology, 2) "Latino" has never actually been a racial category to begin with, and TONS of Latinos have always considered themselves whitehttps://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1337940114295705607?s=20 …

Same thing in Scandinavia, people deciding it was normative to be blue-eyed and blonde and saying a "Black Norwegian" is someone with black hair who therefore is descended from southern foreigners at some point in history Highly unscientific but a whole cultural thing

Weirdly, when the Vikings invaded Ireland, they were called "the dark foreigner" The surname "Dougal" or "Doyle" was originally "Dubh Ghall", "dark foreigner" or "dark stranger" The racial-purity theorists in Ireland decided this means black hair came from Scandinavia
