okay gringos i’ll say this slowly and you can repeat after me: NOT👏ALL👏LATINOS👏ARE👏POC!!!

latino is not a race but an ethnicity, shoving a white ass latine fc in your character and calling it poc while giving yourself a pat on the back for being OOOH SOOO INCLUSIVE isn’t the hot take you think it is bruv????

it’s even worse when ACTUAL LATINOS (especially those born and raised in LAC, y’know, those who actually know how living in latin america works) tell you it’s insensitive and wrong to do that and you straight up try and tell them that they are wrong and dont know what they are talking about???

lets get real y’all, if you do that you probably didn’t even want a POC fc in the first place, you just wanted that circlejerk of praise and shit for being ~inclusive~ so please, take this advice from your fave latine friend: ffs take your rachel dolezal bs elsewhere, ok??

#sometimes the void screams back 「dash commentary」#psa.#cw; vent #i am feeling SALTY #not directed at any of my moots but jesus h fuck i saw a blog that did just that #and their unitedstatian ass just straight up tried to claim that they knew more about this than the actual latine people who #reached out to try and tell them it wasn ok to do it #i mean ???? how self centred do you have to be to believe you know more about someones culture than someone who belongs to such culture?!?#h o w ?#also??? can yall stop using latinx pls???#the accepted gender neutral version is latine #learned that recently and it made so much sense gOd #we’ve been forced to conform to other peoples culture and ideas for so long #theres no better time than now to free ourselves from it
