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.

@mcastimovies And being white Latina can be complex. But most of that complexity errs on the side of privilege.... -
@aurabogado I think that's fair, to be aware of your privilege in a culture that operates heavily on colorism. -
@aurabogado usually when I bristle at these conversations,it's because the intent is to separate white Latinas out. That feels exclusionary -
@mcastimovies I think there's a difference between the fact that white Latinas are privileged... and talking about that privilege. -
@mcastimovies I think white women (who are not Latina) have the same concern. *shrugs* -
@aurabogado # white feminism. But like I don't want to see a space created for WL because they're not Latina enough and they're not W enough -
@mcastimovies Yet I think that space already exists... Society's made it. -
@mcastimovies Headed to dinner, btw, but will pick on this convo in a bit. <3 - 1 more reply
