See the thing is you do not realize your privilege as a white Latino. There’s a lot of colorism within the latinx community and those who are white Latinos have privilege over the indigenous looking ppl. Sad how I know more about your culture than you

Paper is different from how they’re viewed in society tho, if they walked into a room, people would assume they’re white. They wouldn’t assume Latino, they have that privilege vs someone darker who can not pass for white

I disagree that they would assume white. I’d say I am more white passing than they are (lighter skin, lighter eyes) and most people still assume latina. HOWEVER, I would still be treated differently than a darker latinx would be. So, yes the privilege is definitely still there.
