One cultural difference I've noticed a lot it's that united statesians cannot let memes die and keep stretching them to their limit, like I've seen them bitches post that one ishowspeed image in Blue fanart almost everyday let that shit go bruh
Big fan of everyone learning to draw black features bc of Blue but I’m not praising you for that. Like we’re not aliens. You see us everyday lol we are not a new species you need to adjust to drawing
less than 1% of black people are in the military, both latinos and native americans serve at higher rates, yet black people are the only ones told that we can’t criticize the racism our diaspora faces bc some of our “kind” serve, despite facing the brunt of internal oppression
This entire time they have been intentionally obtuse and while they insist we think gringo is a slur, I've seen them call Afro-Palestinians, Jamaicans, Trinidadians, Ghanaians, Black Brits, Virgin Islanders, PRicans, Dominicans, and Afro-Colomnians gringos. It's been a time.
Last thing I’ll say on this discourse. When I made my orginal tweet, I was well aware gringo isnt a slur. I specifically referring to a certain type of non-black “leftist”, that likes to hide their anti-Blackness behind anti-imperialist language. I was NOT referring all of latam
Also, I'm not American, you little cunt. I'm Trinidadian!
The American government stole vaccines from my home country. I hate how white Latinos will cynically use the real colonial relationship b/t the US and the Caribbean/S America to say vomitous things about black Americans.
Seeing white queers call queer hijabis “contradictory”, using queer Muslims as a debate topic, “solo poly hijabi amputee” joke etc etc. It’s disgusting
you question why arab/African queers would rather support their own people than the white savior gays who don't give a fuck about us
white queers will never actually see us as part of the community, they'll become extremely racist the moment we don't fit their narrative, always
