One trope that super annoys me in a lot of tv shows (mostly) and movies (not as often) of the past idk decade or so is when some white character experiences an Accidentally Racist Moment and assumes the Latine* cast representative is Mexican, and is rudely corrected that “I’m not Mexican, I’m [insert any other LatAm ethnicity]” and the white person has to backtrack

I’m not mad bc of the correction or representation of other Latin American ethnicities. I think it’s really great and important to highlight different cultures from the whole Latin American region, there’s a HUGE range of diversity in culture and language and food and customs that most definitely need to be represented and explored in American media.

My problem is this happens to almost every nice, fun, personable, well rounded character. Which leaves the only Mexican representation to be cartel, coyotes, and undocumented migrants/domestic workers. Again, these stories can be super important to tell and represent (if done correctly which honestly I have seen very very few times, at least in more Hollywood/studio productions)

Also often the character correcting the white people are offended at the idea of being Mexican. It’s implying “how rude of you to just assume I’m Mexican, you racist!” Bruh if they’re racist against Mexicans they’re racist against you too, you just caught them off guard

Idk in general I just want this post to be calling for better Latine rep and especially Mexican rep. And like, Latines of all colors, we got light skinned folks and black folks. We have the range darling, it’s time we showed off

* Latine (LAH-teen-ey) is being used here rather than Latinx or Latin@ for:

1. Gender neutral language that also includes non-binary Latin American folks

2. Speakability for Spanish speakers; “Latinx” (or so I recall) was meant to be a figurative placeholder in writing until a better option was found (we found it!) and while in English it’s fairly easy to adapt to “Latinx” in speech, it does not work well for Spanish speakers, and has no way of translating into other gendered vocabulary or work as a usable word in speech. “X” as a letter is pronounced differently in Spanish, and simply just cannot lingually exist well at the end of a word to

A nightblogging a day keeps the emotions away and I'd like to sleep tonight so lemme tell ya'll about my shitty ass pokemon mystery dungeon story concept that I've put a lot of effort into over the years but has never left a handful of notepad files on my computer and maybe never will. I'm going off memory and I haven't really touched it in some time so it's a little fuzzy but who cares Concept number one: Mew. There was gonna be a big thing around Mew. Probably some kind of natural disaster that Mew was needed to solve or something. Mew was there. Mew was a huge focus point. That's all I remember about Mew Concept number two: Igglypuff. One of the major characters was an Igglypuff named Clara. She had blue eyes. She was supposed to link back to Mew in some way, either be Mew using transform or something. She was on a rescue team but I don't remember who the other major character from that team was. Concept number three: Growlithe. Growlithe was on another rescue team from another guild. Remember like nothing else about that. Concept number four: Evolutionary stones. One of the four characters on these two teams was from a family than ran a shop, specifically selling evolutionary stones. Also, a concept from the manga: there exists a fire, water, and thunder stone one each that can be used infinitely. They've never been found and are thought to be more legend than anything. Wishful thinking, maybe. Concept number five: taken from I think the card games? I remember realizing that in some form of Pokemon that I don't participate in that Pokemon can devolve, and have a move that instigates this devolution. This was also a thing here. Specifically, an Eevee had a move like this. I belieeeeeeeeve a Ditto had this move and could use it on other Pokemon, or something like that. Concept number five: the pokemon level up and shit throughout the series and I had a bunch of movesets planned out throughout time but not anything specific just. Like. Shit. The way this shit started: once upon a time the Growlithe team that has Growlithe and shit received a mission. That evolutionary stone shop? Some ass stole a bunch of stones from it. Reports say it was some Eevee. They're like, okay. Let's bring the escort to justice. They go on their way. Meanwhile, the Igglypuff team received a mission too. Some asshole needs an escort through some dungeon for whatever reason. It's an Eevee. They're like, okay. Let's help the guy out. Eevee is escorted to end of dungeon. Growlithe team shows up, all, hand over that Eevee he's a wanted outlaw. And other team's like, no, we're on an escort mission for him we're helping him you probably have the wrong guy??? Fight ensues. Inevitable plot twist: obviously yeah that's all the same fucking eevee anytime I mentioned an Eevee. The asshole stole those stones and then got some nice little fucks to protect em from the big mean scary guys. Eevee's obviously a bad guy. Stole the stones because he can devolve whenever he wants, but he meeds a stone to evolve again, so like, I'm a fuck I'mma steal em? But so like one of these stones could be like the legendary one that never runs out too and that's what I'm actually after. There was probably some shit like, yeah growlithes has a knack for finding legendary shit or something stupid like that. So, that specific store, take the stones. Eevee throws the gang off by being evil but unrecognizablr by evolving into different shit because like yeah that Jolteon and that Vaporeon can't be the same guy and we saw the Eevee after that so he can't have evolved so it can't be him? Somehow turns into some kind of treasure chest to find thlegendarye stones or maybe even somethong else who knows?. Mew is involved somehow. Probably either knows their location or outright has them. Yeah That's everything I remember !!!! I had concepts for side characters and shit too but I can't remember shit and I'm gonna sleep and sorry for the long obnoxious post this concept is like around five years old
