What is considered white. Hell, I’m Sicilian and some of my Hispanic friends are as light or lighter than me. Of course we know with chuds, they will find another group to demonize.
I’m reading a book on immigration by Chomsky’s daughter and the thought just came to me. I’d like for that to be the case, my girlfriend is a Latina and a lot of my friends are as well, I’d rather them eventually be absorbed into the whiteness blob so they aren’t in quite as much danger from bigots.
After that, I’d rather whiteness as a gatekeeping concept go the fuck away entirely.
To be fair the Spanish were colonizers. Not saying this applies to your friend.
Hahaha true he’s just a brown Cuban dude so it’s funny to hear whites calling him a colonizer
Well we would be getting into the realm of Spanish race science then. As racist as us Anglos are, we don't hold a candle to the Spanish when it comes to arcane blood quantum mathematics. Personally I think the whole idea of blaming random people for being colonizers these days isn't helpful unless they are doing active colonizing like building pipelines over reservations or something. Yes in the abstract calling someone a colonizer can be correct in a theoretical sense, but most normal people will just look at you like you are a nut.
I think mainstreaming settler is good for the discourse. Too many settlers in the anglosphere think that genocide is a thing that their ancestors did, not an ongoing project
fucking amazing. And you're right, the Spanish variant of racism is absolutely bananas not because it's especially egregious, but because it makes 0 fucking sense. At least the racial hierarchies presented by Anglo racism suggest some rules. The Latins in the new world change them on a yearly basis.
