#you can be white and Latino its ok omfg

[thottyoptimusprime]

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.

Just gotta say I'm in like one of those moods when you are not in the mood... So, tysm bc this chapter had my mind busy from everything else💚

Ahh we finally know!! They are antidepressants! I knew it!! It makes so much sense!!

The way it perfectly captures the frustration of having to take something, even tho you need it, but still being reluctant is just ✨amazing✨

Not until Shinyun had turned up and threatened to shove it down his throat. This is why its so hard to hate her. At the end of the day, they were always kinda looking for each other in a way

Medications are supposed to make you feel better. So, what the hell are side effects? The universe is cruel sometimes. It drove a hard bargain. Side effects are a bitch and literally this is a fucking mood in this moment of my life jshsjskks

I'm really worried about him tbh... Babe don't push this!! It will only get worse!!

Alec is so fucking cute making him Indonesian food!! BUT WTF HONEY YOU NEED TO WASH THE FUCKING RICE!!! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!!

I love Raphael so much!! Some notes: Lily is definetly his friend now ;) He loves Magnus and we all know it. And I also love the way his brain works

And let the white man pay?” Raphael grins. “Always,” Magnus grins back. ✨YES✨

Raphael calling out Alec and all politicians was just fucking great. And the quote OMG "Everyone needs to learn to care about everything. If we only give a shit about things that concern us, then we’ll go nowhere." But also them taking about religion is so on point for both of them jdhsksks

“Sure. I can meet you tomorrow. But I have to warn you though. I make everything sexy.” I mean he is not lying...

“True,” Raphael nods seriously. “That would be an insult to all vampires.” 😂😂

Don’t we all fucking love the way Alec is always trying to do better and he actually listens to other people and learns from his mistakes and informs himself?? Because I sure as hell do💙💙

Part two omg it hits in the feels😭😭

Max makes friends so easily. Rafael wishes he could do that too. Its relating-to-Rafael time already huh?!?

HE IS THE CUTEST LITTLE SHIT ALREADY AND I'M LOVE HIM SO MUCH!! ROSEWOOD 4 EVER❤️

RAFAEL AND MAGNUS>>>>>

Once, dad was on this magazine too. Because he is very important and very gay. 😂HE IS NOT LYING

Matthew being a model. Fuck. Yes. 💖💜💙

Rafael wants to hug them and tell them it’s going to be okay. I would die for this kid

The worst thing is that they both have good points and they are both correct at some level but  the way they are handling it is not ok...

He loves his brother. No matter how much Max yells at him. Because he knows Max loves him just as much – maybe even a little bit more.

Because he wanted Rafe to have fun on his birthday. Max is an idiot. Rafael loves him so much.

HE LOVES MAX SO MUCH AND I AM EMO!! You can't give me Max and Rafael as kids and expect me to not cry. I love their dynamic so much😭😭

Not to point fingers but Alec...WTF???😂

LET LEXI HAVE THE GUN!!

I love how he's always connecting things with Anjali❤️ SHE IS SO BADASS INDEED!!

You are free to like or dislike whatever you want, BUT COME ON DUDE!! TACOS ARE AMAZING!! AND YOU NEED TO DO THE FINGER THINGY FOR THE SAUCE NOT TO DRIP😂😂  I think that’s more of a mexican thing than latino but the point still stands kdhjsnsks

Idk if I can love someone who doesn't like tacos.. jk, jk. I love you Rafe<3

HIS INNOCENCE JUST GETS ME EVERY TIME😭

"The more different bapak is, the meaner things people will say about me.”

“Because sometimes we are scared of people who are different,”

This just hits so much💔

ROSEWOOD SUPREMACY FIRST. HUMAN SECOND

Anjali IS a queen already😎

One day he hopes his kids will love him as much as he loves Bapak. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

*pouring some water in a glass as if it was wine * So, tell me about Ben👀

Please be a royal theme. Or maybe something with a beach. Beach! Fuck yes! OMFG😂

“What’s in this? Ambrosia or some shit?” Idk why I laughed so hard jdhsisjso I mean.. Its David’s recipie. The moans are valid

Magnus hums. “Did you eat?” It makes Alec smile. Some things never change.🥺🥺

Magnus taking care of the environment is so sexy ngl

How is this 18-year-old getting more than Alec? Why is the universe so fucking cruel to him? Sorry but the quote "He can be petty when he isn’t getting any" lives in my mind 24/7

We stan Leslie😎

But he knows this is on him. At least he admits it...

I dont like this foreshadowing

He is comparing the parents. I haven't thought about it this way. Fuck

"Our anger doesn’t just hurt the people who hurt us. It hurts the people who love us too.” All these deep talks are killing me. I love them💙

But not having friends can make you feel incredibly sad. THIS!!

This reminded me of the "He founds a wound and pokes it, just to see how long it will bleed" of LBAF.. Why tf do I see parallels that are not there??

“Because if you hurt him, it will ruin our family. It will make things difficult with Jace and Clary. Not to mention the shitstorm that will happen on Twitter.” 🎶You, clearly didn't think this through🎶 start playing on the distance..

People who burn on your behave because it's easier to set them on fire.🥺🥺

Don’t you love when kids comunicate their worries and the parents actually listen and try to do better?? ✨The way its supposed to be✨

"I earned those, you know,” Max grins. “You want me to tell you what I did to earn them?” “Please fuck off,” Alec says. Don’t we all love Max traumatising Alec with his sex jokes? 😂😂

At the end of the day I think the divorce was necessary for them to see their mistakes, apologise and learn. BUT FUCK IF IT DOESN’T HURT THAT ALEC STILL HAS HIM AS "BABY" 😭

Anyway, I was looking through my camera roll bc I was sure I had a photo of the beach but I couldn’t find it!! I will look through my computer bc now I'm commited to do it but in the meantime have this!

-Photo I took of El Museo de Antropología e Historia

I am floored by this quote. Hold me.

ALSO THE MUSEUM OMG. HOW STUNNING.

I'm glad this chapter made you feel better. Here is a tiktok for you.

The rosewood vibes of this 🥺
