Never mind that caste system throughout Latin America favors being "pale." cc: @aurabogadopic.twitter.com/JtkeA8IzRr

@reylc What?! What struggles do white people, including Latinos, face because of the color of their skin? @AdrianaMaestas
@aurabogado @AdrianaMaestas not really struggles in the aggregate, but internal struggles. I have a more than one friend who is white Latino
@reylc No but I'm not here to have this conversation out of context. @AdrianaMaestas tweeted a photo whose caption...
@reylc ... included "the struggle is real." For starters, that's an appropriation of African-American Vernacular English... @AdrianaMaestas
@aurabogado @reylc I don't know where Latina mag was going w/ that b/c the link that they had in that update didn't even really address this
@aurabogado @reylc now @Latina is trying to say that we wish that we were Disney princesses: https://www.facebook.com/latinamagazine/photos/a.203115535602.258518.48654660602/10154659980020603/?type=1&theater …
@AdrianaMaestas @aurabogado @Latina to be fair, I occasionally do wish that ;) context: that's a joke.
@aurabogado @AdrianaMaestas and feels like they don't fit in & are sometimes teased or bullied for being not being Latino/a enough bc color
@reylc @aurabogado ok, I have seen/heard of that experience (the issue of not being "brown enough" in certain circles).
@AdrianaMaestas @reylc @aurabogado 1. YT latin@s get best of both worlds. Representation in LatAm media + can exist in Western culture
@AdrianaMaestas @reylc @aurabogado 3. Why are YT feelings prioritized over the actual erasure of afrolatin@s and indigenous ppl??
@FranziaFanon @reylc @aurabogado I think that a big reason for #3 is media messaging like this one from Latina mag.
@AdrianaMaestas @reylc @aurabogado How are they gonna say theyre left out of latinidad when representations in U.S. & LatAm are all light/YT
