Wait Clawdeen is biracial? I thought she was just afro latina.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the struggles and what it means to be biracial over on other countries. But if her father is afro latino and her mother is latina, isn't clawdeen just afro latina? (and I say this as a trigueño latine person, I truly don't understand how different is race and etchnicity in the US)

This is exactly what I'm talking about!

It's confusing!

Her dad is black, and her mom is latina. Mattel has stated that Clawdeen is both biracial, and afro-latina, so the assumption was her mom would be white latina, which would make her biracial.

But a picture leaked from an upcoming episode of her parents, and they are both brown-skinned, and to me they both have black features.

The only way I can make it make sense in my mind is if her dad is half black and half white, and her mom is half afro-latina and white, which would still make Clawdeen biracial and afro-latina.

But the possibly more likely answer is that Mattel is confusing ethnicity and race.

The way I would pay good money to have Eddie celebrating dia de los muertos rather than Halloween especially with an episode called masks and the symbolism of the sugar mask around regeneration and rebirth

I only know Mexican Spanish, so I can only speak for myself and those I grew up with but "mami" and "papi" are not the equivalent of mommy/daddy as used in sexual or intimate relations.

We use mami and papi with our kids. It's what our tíos and tías call us that affectionately. It's what the lady from the corner store calls us when she's sweet on us and can't quite remember our names. It's what our grandparents call us as they fix up a scraped knee. And they bring out papito/mamita when we're either in deep shit, or in need of comfort that can only come from someone with more knowledge, power, or experience than us. It's a diminutive term of endearment.

I'm not saying it's never used as mommy/daddy, but it's hardly ever a title. The context of it is so wildly different, because it's usually what we call someone we're responsible for.

"Mamas" tho? Mamas can fuck.

I know nothing about music so if i describe this all wrong pls forgive but you know what kind of song would be really fun to get from TAD? A real barn burning boot stomping fiddle and banjo heavy song. Mayhaps it is the Ozarks in me, the Appalachia in me, but I’d be down with that.

Thinking self-indulgent thoughts regarding the 141 boys and their little quirks with a spanish speaking reader. Some stumbling through their accents, some begging for more, some keeping their own knowledge of the language secret. I might come back to this later...
