@AugustusVi26115@RhomasDaThomas@AridoAmSubstack You know Latin Americans can literally be Asian, white, African or middle eastern right? Shakira, the most famous latina, is literally Lebanese. Latin Americans are descendants of people from all over the world.
@paredros13@FrozenHell_@pervitinyummy Well Latino isn’t a nationality or an ethnicity. It simply means if you’re born in Latin America then you are Latino lmao. Believe it or not but white Latinos exist and they’re 30% of the Latino population worldwide
@jobe_dobe@SmiggleyPuffz@arakkosuperstar Her father is Lebanese and her mother is Spaniard…. Yeah she’s Latina bc she’s Mexican. We all agree with that but by your logic she isn’t bc she’s a descendant of immigrants like Anya
@jobe_dobe@SmiggleyPuffz@arakkosuperstar 30% of Latinos are white, pure European. Yes many are descendants of colonizers but most are recent immigrants. Most Latinos are descendants of immigrants. If you’re from Latin America, you’re Latino, we are diverse. By your logic Salma Hayek isn’t Latina either
@jobe_dobe@arakkosuperstar The last name doesn’t matter. Latinos can have Anglo last names. And Latino “culture” doesn’t exist. There are thousands of cultures within Latin America. We don’t all have the same culture, if you’re really Latino, you would know what I mean.
@SmiggleyPuffz@jobe_dobe@arakkosuperstar My favorite brown Indian woman, Anya Taylor Joy 😍. Afro indigenous queen 👸 Omg why do yall think it’s impossible for Latinos to be white? White people exist in the US… they’re gonna exist in Latin America too.
@steph83815148@invincibat I think it’s the opposite. Many people think they have indigenous ancestry when they have little to none at all. There are more Latinos with Mediterranean ancestry than native ancestry. In the end, I think it balances out so 40% of Latinos being mestizo seems accurate.
