The Liminality of Whiteness and Writing About Mexican American Characters (in 911 or elsewhere).

Seeing some odd claims being made in 911 fandom about racism, children of immigrants, and passing.

If you’re interested in that, there’s a whole area of scholarship on the liminality of whiteness in America. And none of it means that you can’t be both subjected to racism and commit acts of racism at the same time! One way white people maintain power is by forcing people to assimilate into whiteness at the expense of their own culture (ie, It’s us or them) by taking sides with white supremacy without being granted full access to power.

My own connection to this comes from the perspective of looking at Jewish identity and media, and growing up in a Spanish, German, English speaking family.

These are just a couple of interesting reads, not a comprehensive bibliography.

Edited to Add: @chuuzmii asked for clarification. So I tl;dr’d some more, cause it’s the hiatus and it’s that or read buddie.

@chuuzmii There’s some good stuff out there in video form. There’s a good video here: https://youtu.be/CVxAlmAPHec that’s part of the National Museum of African America History and Culture that explains how racial categories shifted over time, from first identifying family group to the idea that skin color and/or birth nation mattered.

“Liminality” just means something exists in a space between places we know. Liminal Space is called “Transitional” because people can move Through the Between to go Here or There. And now I sound like Dr Seuss (“I would not like them here or there. I would not like them anywhere. I do so like green eggs and ham!”)

Immigrants and children of immigrants (like Ryan Guzman) often find they live in multiple spaces. Ryan G said, “My mom is from Sacramento, California, and she's a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. She's a whitey. Unfortunately, I don't look as Latin as I am.”

But how does Latin look?

To some, his skin tone makes him white. He has some white privilege. If he dresses up and speaks English, he probably won’t be followed around a store. But if he speaks Spanish and hangs out with other Mexican Americans (some with darker skin, like his dad), he might lose that. On TV crime shows, Latinx men together are often cast as bad guys.

Because he and his wife aren’t seen as 100% white, he wrongly thought they could use a mean word that’s been reclaimed by Black ppl yet is still used by some white ppl to mean “less than white/human/me.” That’s not okay. But ppl can learn. Being able to pass doesn’t mean you want to do so. And sometimes, people fck up and then grow, hopefully without hurting anyone too badly for them to forgive.

Eddie-speaking-Spanish nonnie here with a long vent lol. I don't think even well-intended writers understand that it isn't just about getting the translation right. Eddie only rarely speaks Spanish! Occasionally to his grandmother & auntie. And, if memory serves, only once on the job, in the course of rescuing a Latinx family. Never EVER to a white person. When he has spoken Spanish, it's been short greetings or phrases. It is quite possible that his Spanish is not very good! (1of5)

And it is maybe a source of pain and shame for him! Because maybe he was deprived of deep connections to his Latinx roots growing up, which is a thing that happens! I have a whole head canon about the multiple roots of Eddie's intensely repressed nature, one of which is that his father is very much an assimilationist-capitalist and would only allow English to be spoken in the home. (2 of 5)

Maybe Eddie only got the chance to speak it with his grandmother and Aunt Pepa, but they lived in CA, so he wasn't around them much. Also, in the brief interaction we got after Shannon's funeral, Pepa clearly has zero time for her brother Ramon, and I love it. This is of course just my head canon, but regardless, how, when and to whom Eddie speaks Spanish is actually a nuanced thing and not just a way to sex up your story because you think Ryan Guzman sounds hot speaking it ffs. (3 of 5)

Eddie's relationship with his Mexican heritage and with his own whiteness and white supremacy culture is important and interesting! His mother, Shannon and Buck are all white ffs! (I am fully trapped in the Buddie clown car, but I am actually interested to see if we get to learn anything more about Eddie's relationship with is Latinx roots via his interactions with Ms. Flores.) (4 of 5)

Ok, whew, I have been in quarantine for 2 months and I clearly needed to vent. Anyway, you are smart, and I appreciate your POV in this fandom, and for letting drop my vent in your ask. Thank you! (5 of 5)

Asdfgfljhafs nonny, I answered that last ask before getting these and YES! EXACTLY MY POINT! THANK YOU! I mentioned being Latinx, but what I am is, like Eddie, mixed-race. And maybe I’m projecting from my own experiences and struggles onto him, but like you said, there is a lot of evidence that he has a complicated relationship with his heritage! The fact that he is white-passing matters!  The fact that his mother is white and his father wasn’t around a lot and most of his father’s side of the family lived elsewhere matters!  It means that there is a good likelihood that he is largely disconnected from his heritage and stuck in an awkward, uncomfortable place where he is neither fully white nor fully Mexican-American and Feels Some Kinda Way about that! There are a lot of things about Eddie that are complex and interesting and difficult, and running roughshod over them does a disservice to the character and those of us who see him as a specific type of representation we don’t get!
