@Nick_O_Larse There's real light skinned people... But there are white people. Like, clearly blonde hair blue eye people, you know?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@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?3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@aurabogado I mean, yeah, that's the post.
I usually keep quiet about it because I feel like it's such a personal thing.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@mcastimovies That's all real. But which Latinos that are most successful? And which Latinos that are most oppressed? Color matters.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@aurabogado completely! I don't disagree with that at all. My issue is that I don't think it's a hard set line we can sort ourselves by.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@mcastimovies I think I'd add that this practice of non-black Latinos suddenly claiming Afro-Latinidad is also super problematic...1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@aurabogado oh yeah, if you didn't ID as one before that's so strange to me. Like that wasn't a part of who you were before, why now?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
@mcastimovies I think the why now is a way to avoid the privilege we have a non-black Latinas, tbh.
