Imagine using a white Mexican’s success stats made possible by Latin American white supremacy, and the U.S. military imperialist industrial complex....to make a point about... racism. https://twitter.com/gustavoarellano/status/1264555093572980742

Y’all really need to stop acting as if ALL Latinos end up being actual, real victims of racism. A white Latino could never be a target of racism. Xenophobia maybe? Racism? Lol stop it now.

Just cuz a white Mexican billionaire’s surname is “Moreno,” don’t make him one. Lol Cut it out.

This is white Mexican billionaire Arte Moreno and his white wife. He is not a Latino that would be the target of racism. He’d be the beneficiary of it. And is. Lol. Y’all can’t be this simple.

Doing this & saying stupidity like “white-passing Latino,” lies abt the fact that white Latinos BEEN oppressing in LatAm right now & for the past 500 yrs. White Mexican Billionaires like Arte Moreno & Carlos Slim are indistinguishable from their white North American counterparts

Some Latinos migrate to the states to then complain about the “racism” they experience, that they be doling out themselves in their home countries. Lmaoooo Like calm down, Ligia Elena.

So, Desi Arnaz: Born Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha, III, in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. His father was Santiago's youngest mayor and also served in the Cuban House of Representatives. His maternal grandfather was Alberto de Acha, an executive at rum producer Bacardi & Co.

Desi Arnaz’s family was part of the ruling class of whites that were exiled after the 1959 Cuban Revolution and had their three ranches, palatial home, and a vacation mansion on a private island in Santiago Bay, Cuba confiscated. As mentioned his fam were politicians and execs.

Per colonial heritage, you don’t get to be a politician in LatAm if you are not: white, moneyed, degreed, propped up by the U.S., did a military coup/strong-armed or all of the above. That’s why “poor” presidents in the region like Panama’s Omar Torrijos were so celebrated.

Are y’all really saying because a white Latino has black hair and/or are “tan” (whether real or sprayed on) they are then considered “of color”?????? Is that what y’all are telling me??? I just—

& Bacardi? Spaniard, Facundo Bacardí founded it 1862, son of Spanish migrants, came to Cuba during blanqueamiento period.
Bacardí’s wife was Haitian granddaughter of a French coffee plantation owner& daughter of a captain in Napoleon’s army. Her fam funded Facundo’s biz. ventures

Continuing w/Desi Arnaz,“the family then fled to Miami, where Desi attended St. Patrick Catholic High School. In the summer of 1934, he attended Saint Leo Prep to help improve his English.” A life of private schools in the U.S. So tough! STOP INVENTING OPPRESSION OF WHITE LATINOS

“Arnaz was deeply patriotic about the United States. In his memoirs, he wrote that he knew of no other country in the world where ‘a sixteen-year-old kid, broke and unable to speak the language’ could achieve the successes that he had.”

The U.S. loves to prop up certain white and pale Latinos as a “measure” of the successes of “The American Dream.” First of all, white Latinos have access to English classes in their countries. Many white moneyed Latinos speak/know/learn/can access English. That’s first.
