@aurabogado @InsurgentPrieta what is a non-black Latina?! Is that a phrase that people are actually using in academic discourse?

@seary1@aurabogado A Latina who is not as visibly negra as you or me or otherwise. Yes its used for clarity's sake. -
@InsurgentPrieta@aurabogado my mother is white or as has been tweeted a "non-black Latina" she'd be pretty offended by that phrase smh -
@seary1 I can't speak for@InsurgentPrieta, but I'm specifically trying to decenter white Latinas from the conversation. -
@seary1 As a Guarani woman (ie not white), I'm also trying to decenter any Latina who is not black from the conversation.@InsurgentPrieta -
@seary1 In other words, I care little about how non-black Latinas might be offended by this choice of words.@InsurgentPrieta -
@seary1 Because centering on the ways we might feel offended works toward anti-blackness.@InsurgentPrieta -
@seary1 And if there's anyone to blame for separating black Latinas from latinidad, its us.@InsurgentPrieta
