@AwkwardLatina And we hardly talk about this publicly... -
@aurabogado not a single Latino I know has ever discussed on our blasé racism. It's a damn shame. -
@AwkwardLatina And when black women (and black Latinas especially) point it out, we non-black Latinos derail, derail, derail. -
@aurabogado I have an afro-latina sister who is 1/2 Dominican whose nickname was Negra . I mean, it's instilled in us as kids. - 1 more reply

@aurabogado I teach this in my classes. Latino students react w that uncomfortable giggle. Que sad. -
@PalmTreesnGz I can imagine, esp bc as non-black Latinos, we face our own oppression. But it's time to be real about our anti-blackness... -
@aurabogado@PalmTreesnGz Yes, yes, yes, yes. Anti-blackness is a thing in my family. They're explicit about it. -
@AndreaGarVar@aurabogado@PalmTreesnGz my dad's family are very euro looking dominicans and my mom's side is very "dark." so much racism. -
@adefillo@aurabogado@PalmTreesnGz My mom as called negrita when she was young by her own siblings, because she had darker skin. -
@adefillo@aurabogado@PalmTreesnGz And she was rarely called pretty as opposed to her sister, who had lighter skin. -
@adefillo@aurabogado@PalmTreesnGz What's sad is that she once told me "You can't date anyone who's darker than ME."
