This is my official coming out post. I already came out before but I'm doing this again:

I'm Greyrose (aka greysexual and greyromantic or grey aroace). I've been thinking about this for quite some time and I've realized that I feel attraction to people, but VERY rarely. There's also the fact that I haven't had a "crush" on anyone since 5th grade so yeah. I feel pretty comfortable using the label as it describes how I feel so yeah, that's really it.

I'd also like to take this chance to say this: afro latino asexuals, you are valid. Afro latino aromantics, you guys are valid. Afro latino aroace individuals and afro latino people who are on the acespec, arospec, or aroacespec spectrums, you are all valid ❤️

This is something I've been thinking about for a while, but especially now with the olympic games, with some of the comments I've seen about some of the athletes. It seems to me like a lot of people don't realize that there are like, actual black people in Brazil.

It's not just "brown latinos" with darker skin or whatever some americans think goes on. When Portugal colonized Brazil they brought in african people as slaves. So black people from african descent make a huge part of the population along with white people from Portugal and other european places and indigenous (plus also a decent size of asian people, mostly from japanese immigrants).

Now, a lot of those people are biracial because Brazil is a very miscigenated country. But a lot are also not. And then there's also those have liked, one mixed parent and one black one so they're like 3/4th black. But generally, if they have darker skin and/or black features they are considered and identify as black.

There's also the term "pardo" which is kind of an equivalent of both "brown" and "mixed" which is basically people mixed between black and some other ethnicity (white, asian, indigenous) that is usually given to those that are more light-skin/take on non-black features more like straight hair, but it's a whole can of worms because it can be very arbritary and some of them still consider themselves black or are read as black, while others don't/arent.

But basically it's not really any different from how black people and black as an identity is seem on the US, as far as I know. Down to some people not agreeing whether some can be simply referred to as black if they're biracial. Like it's the same kind of discourse.

When people say "afro-latino" they are basically just doing it to point out the person is both from a black and a latino background. Especially since america consideres "latino" as its own ethnicity or even race. But here those people are simple seem as black, and from the same definition that americans themselves use, they are. So someone being "afro-latino" is, more often than not, the same as someone being called "afro-american". The latter part is more an indicator of where they come from than an actual second ethnicity that would make them non-black.

As a BLACK PERSON from Brazil, I am extremely shocked by the absurd level of ignorance that part of the black population in the United States has about the issue of blackness in other territories of the American continent. As Asad Haider said, these are the Mistaken Identity.

To explain once and for all: "Afro-Latino" is not an ethnicity dissociated from black ethnicity. Both in the USA and in other Latin American countries there are black people who have lived there for generations, precisely because they were brought by slave ships from Africa. Black Latinos ARE BLACK PEOPLE! To deny this historical fact is not only to close oneself off from a world of territorial ignorance, but also to embark on the same identity nationalism that marginalizes the black population in the USA.
