Will always be amazed by the fact that for Americans and Europeans speaking their language poorly or with a very strong accent is perceived as annoying/shameful/disrespectful.

Meanwhile, for Spanish speakers, having an accent and speaking our language poorly is seen as Interesting and Sexy. I swear, girls go mad over a mediocre white man speaking Spanish.

This is about me. I am girls.

Latino character in usamerican movies: hey let's go get some comida. ay dios I miss my abuelita, she always made me some great tamales while we watched telenovelas together😞 wow what a nice clima we're having. I'm so jealous of you, white usamerican protagonist, for being born in America, the greatest country of all time. I'm so enojada that I was born in a poor shithole país, but at least now that I'm here in the land of the free I can fulfill my life long dream of buying a dishwasher and going to mc donalds

John telling Javier "this people ain't your family" in chapter 6 is so unfair. They are his family, John, the gang was all he's ever had in the US. He lets it crumble what does he have left? what will he do? In a country that is hostile to him it's the only place he's found comfort. John can say he's got his own family now, after refusing to care for it, and in the last chapters he's constantly being reassured that other folk -Arthur and Sadie- had his back.

You know who had Javier's back? Who fred him in Guarma? Dutch! sorry but it's not strange he's clinging to that man.

How can people not understand Javier's struggle? Others have been moving on for a while now, and he's being left behind, stuck in the same place. Being treated like it's his fault. He just tried desperately to hang on what little he had left of his family, he was mean and angry cause he's desperate.

Wow, so Vance sort of defends his wife from white supremacist attacks by, *checks notes*, saying yes she's not white :( BUT I love her so :/ and uh, making sure to highlight she's a good mother because what are women but baby makers?

And they say romance is dead!

hello friends. unfortunately I lost my glasses two weeks ago and since then I have been suffering from bad migraines and obviously I can't see anything well, and my day to day is turning into a nightmare. I'm having a bad time financially so I can't afford the glasses, they cost about $120, my family can't help me so I go to Tumblr. I would be very grateful if you could help me with a reblog or a donation i will be really grateful , thank you!

Nationalism in Russia is so fucking weird. Imagine being so pressed over someone struggling to speak such a difficult language just because they don't do it perfectly. Instead of being, you know, grateful that they are interested enough in your culture to try and learn it, when they could just as easily speak in English. Couldn't be me.

[elbiotipo]

How long do you think will take until someone calls you a fake latino bc you made that post about your family being originally from Europe.

They already told me to "go back to Europe". I am the fifth generation here, and that's only counting my inmigrant ancestors. I couldn't care less about Europe.

(worth noting, the person who told me that was an inmigrant to the UK)

watching kids cartoons while drunk losing my mind she's so real for missing her pet cat more than her family

Hi, I'm gonna make you hurt.

There's this song, Color esperanza by Diego Torres, that was really typical for moms to like when I was a kid (in my country at least, Idk what your moms listened to). Anyways, imagine Catherine Todd singing it while doing the house chores and baby Jay going along with her. Then Robin Jason singing it when he's feeling nostalgic or happy.

Imagine that's why green is his favorite color (because color of hope= emerald). Here's a part of the chorus:

(the original in Spanish)

Pintarse la cara Color esperanza Tentar al futuro Con el corazón

(the translation by musixmatch.com)

Paint the face

Hope color

Tempting the future

With the heart

Anyways, I just think it would be quite bittersweet if he liked to sing this to remember his mom when he was young. I don't know what would be more sad:

He not singing it more after his resurrection because he can't bring himself to sing such an optimistic song because it feels like a mockery to his own life—

Or he still singing it because he needs the hope. Specially after everything.
