@sodafizzin People can’t comprehend that racism can develop differently and yet still exist, latam is obviously still very racist even if our concept of race is different than the North American concept, one thing doesn’t annul the other
@yuuinstars I don’t think it’s gonna be an invasion but the US has a history of meddling in our politics, they literally supported a military dictatorship in 1964, and now with oil on the table nothing is stopping them from doing it again
@esilvaalves@lestatlioncutie Ent, se eles me fizessem um teste de dna pra saber a minha etnia n ia da latino-americana, ia dar uma mistureba ibérica igual muito brasileiro branco
@ch1naweee Even the post-slavery politics were performed differently like full on legal racial segregation in the us and the encouragement of interracial marriage to “lighten” the population in Brazil, both come from the same prejudice and yet developed different racial concepts.
@crazyfrogsson_@safictem Exactly, you look Western European so no one is going to deny that you are white, I look extremely middle eastern, but I’m not actually from there, I’m just Jewish and like so white I look transparent. it’s not everywhere though, it’s def more an American thing
@crazyfrogsson_@safictem I’ve been told by Germans that I’m not white because I was born in Brazil, it’s not just an American thing, it’s worse there yes, but they do it in Europe too, especially if you don’t look west European
@emicorrrta That’s usually genetics, as a former anorexic, I always had naturally bigger breasts and even though they decreased as I got emaciated, they remained big, especially in comparison to the rest of the body, but they do kind of drop eventually
@caro_lain@yonceremover Try to explain that to people, I’m from Brazil and I lived in Europe for a while and I vividly remember being told I wasn’t white when I’m almost transparent, to them it wasn’t about skin color, it was about origin.
