#you can be white and Latino its ok omfg

There are white Latinos. Prominent white Latinos would like yall to stop saying the entirety of Latinos are mixed, especially afro and indigenous Latinos who are continously oppressed and scrutinized by white or mestizo Latinos. Randomly saying whitinos don't exist doesn't stop them existing. Especially when they make up the media and politicians. Also you tagged this Americans need to stop thinking race equal skin color. And the same argument was happening in the Twitter thread, ethnicity and race are 2 different things. Also you brought up Carlos, i didn't name drop him in the post and was mostly talking about Rafael and characters that stayed in the background.

So I love transformers everyone who  knows me knows this. And when Transformers Rise of the Beasts came out I enjoyed it immensely. Me and a friend were talking about finally some black people, finally some culture in this franchise. But I didn't post about it because i knew I would get whytes in my mentions like this.

Not only are they comparing these characters, but they are pulling a bunch of whataboutism. "Miko was in Transformers Prime, so there has been POC" ok...we can't have more? Also OP brought up specifically black characters. Every character brought up to try to bring down the positivity of the post was either an asian character or a whitino as if that should be enough, we should be satisfied with that one POC in a franchise that's existed since the 80s.
