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.
White Hispanics, sure.
But if you look more indigenous or too brown, I don't think so.
The ones that are really brown, yeah they’re going to continually be subject to full on discrimination for sure. I think Hispanics with a more olive skin tone are probably eventually going to just be seen as white people, which is always good being subject to less discrimination is always a good thing.
The concept of whiteness in and of itself is trash though. Not as in recognizing that it exists and hurts and oppresses people, more-so that it’s used to gatekeep people out of being considered a full human and citizen of the country.
Whiteness needs to go. I can’t wait for that part of this shit hierarchy to fade away.
Ehhh, perhaps on a really sandblasted macro-scale perhaps, but knowing spanish and having spanish last names outs someone really quick as not being part of the "in-group".
That and also being denied access to the decades of accumulation of wealth that the white population has access to may sour things a bit.
Yeah, I just think those things will matter less over time as the US becomes overwhelmingly Hispanic.
Im not a sociologist (though I’ve heard sociologists share my sentiments) so keep in mind this just basically a shower thought from me
It would be nice for my girlfriend and potential kids and grandkids to not deal with as much bigotry as being in an outgroup entails,
