That’s where the inside jokes and authentic references come from—the stuff that makes the community go, 'awebo, esto sí me representa.' Trying to dictate how we should feel and ignoring that national identity is a cultural concept that varies by country is just a total miss.
I have Russian heritage,but I don't speak the language or know the culture,so I'm not gonna act like I can speak for Russian people.Having roots somewhere doesn't mean you represent the actual nation.If Mexicans are saying a team of US streamers isn't Team Mexico,they're 100% ✔️
Ludwig defends Team Mexico after the Streamer Games announcement sparked backlash over the team’s players not being “real Mexicans.”
“The concern is that they’re not real Mexicans, which I have a problem with. As a first-generation American, people like to erase your heritage..it happens a lot. I get that they don’t actively live in Mexico, but bro, you’re Mexican even if you’re living in America.”
muted because my tweet was meant for someone who made a comment I found offensive as a Mexican. It’s wild how people try to justify it with 'but they speak Spanish.'Get it through your heads that no es solo el idioma:it’s about actually living the day-to-day experience in Mexico.
@1ShotX7 Por más bienintencionado que suene, la realidad es que sus referentes culturales, su humor y su perspectiva siguen estando arraigados a Estados Unidos.
@1ShotX7 Asegurar que pueden representar a México exige argumentos más sólidos que 'hablar español, haber ido de vacaciones, comer tacos o sentirse orgullosos'. +
@Yoni2077 Real. I learned this the hard way when my friend's dad got reported to ICE by another Mexican—and the ICE officer who picked him up was Mexican too, even though he was completely legal.
@1ShotX7 Y mi punto es sobre un estadounidense queriendo dictarle a los mexicanos que deben considerar representación.
Osea cool si esos streamers se sienten orgullosos. La cosa es que si alguien te dice que no se siente representado;lo escuchas y preguntas porque. No lo otro mamon qpdo
@1ShotX7 Eh a mi no me va a andar diciendo gringo, tengamos tantito respeto.
No lo simplifique, tu lo hiciste ver ese esa manera; Son correctos de representar mexico porque hablan español(algunos) y porque han pisado mexico alguna vez. Fueron los únicos puntos a favor que diste.
@thisisit4noww bringing up displacement to justify someone acting like they represent a country they don't even live in is wild fr 💀 stay on topic bestie
@1ShotX7 Bro really said they represent Mexico because they went on vacation and ate tacos 💀 fluent or not, doing tourist stuff doesn’t mean you speak for an entire nation. Cool for them tho.

Que les pregunten quien es nuestro extraño enemigo, cual era el libro escolar mas pinches grandes que teníamos, o que tipo de vestimenta llevábamos el día de la bandera y en que tipo de clima siempre tocaba
Es una oportunidad para que no se sientan "Dismissive" (easy btw)
