I think it’s funny how Wednesday and Enid are like one skin tone apart and yet gringos will draw her as almost black because she’s supposed to have Mexican background

#also the way they implied that Mexican colonialists weren’t racist assholes? extremely yucky and racist #that one scene where her ancestor is calling out the pilgrims saying that they lived at peace with the natives or whatever before they came #almost made me stop watching #like girl wdym you had the whole caste system and pretty much didn’t consider #anyone that wasn’t white and Spanish human #like according to the beliefs back then even being born in the new world already made you I feriar to Spaniards #they destroyed places of worship art and recording of history and shoved Catholicism down peoples throats #they very much raped and murdered as much as the English colonialists #sjhcbsjsbdjshdbd living in peace with the natives my ass #it was such a disgustingly white washed sanctimonious Mary Sue moment just gross man #hsdbjscbjcbeuchbrc I hated that moment so much #like girl why are you going out of your way to criticize colonialism and then be like oh but Spanish colonialists weren’t evil #they were nice and good and lived at peace with the natives #jdsbjsdbjdhbejebwi disgustang #criticize them equally or not at all #anywho originally I was going for how in Mexico people with wednesdays skin tone sometimes bend over backwards to act like they’re gringos #because internalized racism #and very much perpetuate racism and often consider themselves white or brag about their Spanish bloodline and shit #while they’re very much considered nonwhite by white people #and I’m always like girl why are you being cringe like that stop it #I’m really trying to cool down these tags give me a moment #weird Mexican rambling about how race is subjective and what’s considered white here is very much not considered white in other countries #and also how that impacts representation and how Mexican media is exclusively very fair skinned people while American media has arguably #better Mexican representation but it seems to come from the racist ass stereotype of what a Mexican person looks like that gringos have #and just talking about race in modern internet times is a nightmare because race is very much subjective but racism and colonialism are #so permeated in a ton of cultures that they are like cockroaches that you just can’t exterminate or escape #snfejnfekwkjdw #look man it’s six am and I woke up in the midsts of a panic attack for no reason and was trying to distract myself #I’m pretty sure I’m not making any sense #mein shit
