@AdrianaMaestas @aurabogado that does not mean that pale Latinos/Latinas do not face their own struggles because of the color of their skin
@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
@reylc To claim what's been a black struggle and caption it for a white is unacceptable. @AdrianaMaestas
@reylc For you to say that white Latinas face their own struggle because of their skin color? Also unacceptable. @AdrianaMaestas
@reylc Again, there's a context here. You don't get to suspend it over some white person's hurt feelings. @AdrianaMaestas
