#ConQuito

[escapedartgeek]

Chris smiles as Z unwraps their gift, happy to finally present it to them. He was always hype to plan out gifts for his friends. Especially when they've been wanting something specific for a while. Plus, it was nice to catch up with Z during the holidays. His hands pour them a bit of conquito into a glass, "It's good to see ya as always. I got some silly stories for ya while we chill."

Zora was always glad to get to exchange gifts with Chris - and they hoped that he would enjoy the custom tees, and records that they had gotten for him - picking up on the kind of artists he had been fixated on over the past few months.

In the meantime, they were thrilled with their own presents, smiling at him with genuinely appreciation. And the sight of conquito being poured into a glass only made the occasion that much better.

"Of course, it's always a wonderful time catching up. And doing so now.. is especially nice. But you can't tease me with those silly stories and not spill the details Chris, you know.. full well I want to know."

Chocolate & Advertisements

Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-22/nestle-pulls-beso-de-negra-candy-reviews-portfolio-for-racism

Chocolate was reinvented as a middle-class treat in the 19th century. Coming into the 20th century big corporations enticed their consumers through an advertising industry that pushed ideologies thought for centuries: that the indigenous peoples who consumed chocolate before were hedonistic. They also pushed the ideology that romanticized colonial exploitation too. Advertisements like these reflect the racist stereotypes common during this time period.

Even though the Mexica and Mayan civilizations are widely credited as the inventors of chocolate, it is common knowledge the Europeans swooped in and ultimately prided themselves on removing chocolate from its heathen brethren and turning it into what it is today. These ideologies were pushed through advertisements in commercials. Corporations stereotyped Mayans as inferior and exotic. The JELL-O Mayan commercial illustrates the “exoticness” of Mayans by playing the flute in the background, something that one would think is an ode of admiration but instead a common stereotype that alludes to the wilderness. Although the commercial correctly describes how Mayans sought protection from their gods by paying tribute to them in form of gifts such as cacao beans, corn, and potatoes, the narrator of the commercial belittles these traditional foods by calling them “boring” and “lame” (MarketwiredNewsVideo, 00:00:08 – 00:00:15). The commercial belittles Mayan culture and promotes the notion that they were inferior.

The Mayans were not the only ones attacked. The Conguitos advertisement specifically dehumanizes African Americans by characterizing them as savages that lived in straw huts and carried spears. The advertisement's simplistic figures only focused on the difference in features between African Americans and Anglo-Saxons and focuses on characteristics like larger eyes and lips. One part of the commercial is the transformation of a group of black human bodies turning into chocolate balls that would be later picked-up for the consumption of a white woman. (Conquitos TV, 00:00:01 – 00:00:27). Unfortunately, this advertisement is not far from the truth. Europeans scrambled for Africa in the second half of the 1800s and (no so) coincidentally, large chocolate corporations began to extract cacao from these areas. Throughout this process, cacao farms continuously kidnapped children. Even though the main goal of the ad was solely to sell Conguitos’ chocolate, there is definitely an underlying message; suggesting that African Americans are submissive and happy to be colonial subjects. In addition, this ad allows consumers to believe that a colonizing mentality is natural and logical and most importantly acceptable.

The industrial revolution allowed chocolate to become mass produced and have a middle-class price point. However, it also birthed an era were big chocolate companies were promoting any and all ideologies they saw fit through their advertisements, essentially brainwashing anyone who came across them. Through these advertisements, the chocolate industry both shaped and reinforced racial stereotypes.

Week 9: Chocolate Advertisements in the 19th Century

Now that cacao could be massively produced with emerging technology, the industrial revolution forced chocolate corporations to search for new areas of cacao production. As a result, Europeans colonized Africa as they sought cheap labor from children. Due to an increasing supply of chocolate production, competition arose between large corporations. Consequently, corporations reinvented chocolate as a middle class treat in the 19th century. Once chocolate’s identity had been reinvented, big corporations enticed their consumers through a booming advertising industry that characterized the Maya as inferior and exotic. Corporations also created ads that romanticized colonial exploitation too. Overall, these advertisements are mirrors of their society, and thus reflect racist stereotypes common in the mid-twentieth century.

Even though the Mexica and Mayan civilizations are credited as the inventors of chocolate, indigenous culture is erased and appropriated in 19th century advertisements. Corporations stereotyped Mayans as inferior and exotic. The JELL-O Mayan commercial illustrates the “exoticness” of Mayans by playing the flute in the background, a common stereotype that alludes to the wilderness. Although the commercial correctly describes how Mayans sought protection from their gods by paying tribute to them in form of gifts such as cacao beans, corn, and potatoes, the narrator of the commercial later belittles the food by calling it “boring” and “lame” (MarketwiredNewsVideo, 00:00:08 – 00:00:15). The corporation was uneducated to belittle the food that Mayans used as tribute because in Mayan society, cacao beans were so highly valued that they used them as a currency.

An additional racial stereotype that was displayed in advertisements was the romanticization of colonial exploitation. The Conguitos advertisement specifically dehumanizes African Americans by characterizing them as savages that lived in straw huts and carried spears. The advertisement's simplistic figures only focused on African Americans' big eyes and lips. One of the most troubling scenes is the transformation of a group of black human bodies turning into chocolate balls that would be later picked-up for the consumption of a white woman. (Conquitos TV, 00:00:01 – 00:00:27). This advertisement is not far from the truth; Europeans scrambled for Africa, and coincidentally, large chocolate corporations began to extract cacao from these areas. Throughout this process, cacao farms kidnapped children, plucking them one by one from their communities. Even though the main goal of the ad was to sell Conguitos’ chocolate, this corporation is suggesting that African Americans are submissive and happy to be colonial subjects. In addition, this ad allows consumers to believe that a colonizing mentality is natural and logical.

Despite that the industrial revolution allowed chocolate to become mass produced and have a middle-class price point, the advertisement industry can be described as a looking glass into our society. Fundamentally, chocolate corporations enticed their consumers through a booming advertising industry that reinforced racial stereotypes.

“Conquito Aqua” menciona, en sus rasgos la imagen de la completa concentración--- sólo la imagen. “No me sale,” anuncia a su compañera, con aquellos ojos hinchados del sueño y el pelo revuelto. Además, se ha olvidado su libreta en el dormitorio, aunque eso no es algo que admita a la chica del hielo. Esas cosas simplemente se omiten, aunque resulta bastante obvio cuando ni siquiera está diciendo el encanto correctamente. “A ver, inténtalo tú.” // @pkryeon​
