Good to see @HarlandaleISD is furthering their #racist history by making #Indigenous head dresses part of the #cheer culture/uniforms. Way to go!

San Antonio Express News published this highly racist and sexist cartoon. It essentially equates women of color as “dogs” biting the hand that feeds them. Also telling is that the hand is white. Disgusting. @ExpressNews @AOC @AyannaPressley @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib #TheSquad

I like how no one’s talking about how the biggest threat to the #GOP, @realDonaldTrump & #WhiteSupremacy are 4 #WOC ... and how in all the time men of color have been in politics, none of them have stirred up opposition like these women have. #BeAfraid #WOCAreTheFuture

[Barrio Intellect @BarrioIntellect]

#Men imagine NEVER having to worry about anyone telling you what to do w/ your penis. Oh wait🙄STFU & sit your ass down if you’re gonna defend #Alabama. But please, tell me again how #NotAllMen when u argue w/ women when they say #MenAreTrash. Go away. You’re grounded!

Also ... for everyone offering help to #France to rebuild this iconic symbol of institutional oppression ... #Flint, MI still doesn’t have clean water. JS

I don’t wish bad in anyone but ...

When I think about the #NotreDame fire, I think about karma.

Also ... the melting point of gold is over 1900 degrees Fahrenheit ... wood’s burning point is 180. THAT’s why the cross didn’t burn. #Science

@FiestaSA is gonna be worse. #PrepareYourself

[Leo Treviño | Xcano @El_Xcano_Tirado]

This is what disrespect and #CulturalAppropriation looks like in #UTSA’s #RoadrunnerNation at #NIUTSA 2019.

@ErikaLSanchez lol ... I had to create “boundaries” for my mom. It didn’t work in real life so idky I thought it woulda work on social media. 🤣

[Barrio Intellect @BarrioIntellect]

@MolinoTony @ErikaLSanchez tf!? Why tf men always tryna tell women how to be!? Delete her account from your feed bro! #ItsThe21stCenturyFool

[Barrio Intellect @BarrioIntellect]

ESPECIALLY the #Alamo’s narrative in #SanAntonio

[Leo Treviño | Xcano @El_Xcano_Tirado]

Notice to NON-WHITE parents ...

Teach your kids to QUESTION EVRYTHING they learn in school ... ESPECIALLY #History. ESPECIALLY in the #Southwest. SPECIFICALLY in #Texas .. so flawed ... SO flawed.

Part 5: If there’s any white sympathizers on my friends list who don’t like the things I post you can remove yourself. I ain’t going anywhere.

That’s the second time in the last two weeks a white man has felt privileged to impose his views in extremely close proximity to me; the first time was a student at UTSA. I’m not being nice about it anymore.

[Leo Treviño | Xcano @El_Xcano_Tirado]

Part 3: Gringo: I should take that shirt off you right now.
Me: that’s probably the worst decision you’ll make all day.

He sizes me up, scoffs and walks away.

[Leo Treviño | Xcano @El_Xcano_Tirado]

Part 3: Me: migration has been part of the human experience since beginning of time. Don’t you think even your ancestors were escaping something they didn’t like when they came to this continent?
Gringo: I just don’t like it when people explain things in a way that makes sense.

[Leo Treviño | Xcano @El_Xcano_Tirado]

Part 2: When the lightbulb in his head turns on he proceeds to tell me about his views on border security and why Donald Trump is the greatest president ever.

[Leo Treviño | Xcano @El_Xcano_Tirado]

Part 1: Wore this shirt yesterday and when I left Houston, I stopped for gas in Columbus ... this white guy in a MAGA cap approaches me.

Gringo: What’s up with that shirt?
Me: I don’t like I.C.E..
Gringo: like in your drink?
Me: 🤦🏽‍♀️ ... Think about it.

WTH, @tombrokaw? “Hispanics need to work harder at assimilation and making sure their kids learn English”
