      This is probably a good time to consider @BlackGirlDanger on white Latinos who say they are people of color:http://www.blackgirldangerous.org/2012/08/20121127the-white-skinned-elephant-in-the-room/ …

      And we should probably talk about the rising number of non-black Latinos who've decided to identify as Afro-Latino in the last year.

      Three Latinxs I personally know, who have not lived their lives as black people, are now claiming their Afro-Latino because of an ancestor.

      I get the thing where we want to honor our ancestors of color... What I don't get is when people suddenly front for something they're not.

      If you're not black when you go to school, go to the hospital, apply for a job, when get pulled over, then you're not black. Sorry.

      And I get that there's a stigma for Spanish and Portuguese last names. But if you're white, you're white. That includes white Latinos.

      As I've said previously, if you're a white South African, your country of origin doesn't make you a person of color. You still white.

      Take Cameron Díaz. She's Latina, and proud of it. But yeah, she's white. Don't tell me otherwise.pic.twitter.com/SK6FncuzhD

          @aurabogado So do you think it's mainly (or toatally) to do with skin colour?

          @Nick_O_Larse There's real light skinned people... But there are white people. Like, clearly blonde hair blue eye people, you know?

          @aurabogado @Nick_O_Larse my issue with this is what's the cut off? Brown hair and eyes? Is it weird if siblings ID as different?

          @aurabogado I mean, yeah, that's the post. 😉 I usually keep quiet about it because I feel like it's such a personal thing.

          @mcastimovies To your question about difference among siblings: yes. I think it makes sense to identify with how society treats you.

          @aurabogado and in that, I've had very different experiences north vs. south. Read white in some places, told I wasn't American in other.

          @aurabogado could you put out a color chart so I can see if you think I’m a person of color? Thanks
