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/ …

@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? -
@mcastimovies Let's talk about it! Tweet about it, I guess. -
@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 And I wanna put some pressure on that silence, I guess... -
@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. - 1 more reply

@aurabogado could you put out a color chart so I can see if you think I’m a person of color? ThanksThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
