i& #39;m a latina. i know way too well how we are raised. and i know way too well that we have this philosophy of "if it didn& #39;t happen to me, if i don& #39;t feel it, if it isn& #39;t about me or if it doesn& #39;t affect me, i don& #39;t care" +
+ i know that while in other cultures empathy comes naturally, here you have to learn it on your own. i know how hard it is to put yourself in the place of other person because you& #39;ve been living your whole life inside of a bubble of "me, me, me". +
+ and i do understand from where it comes the lack of understanding l-atinys are showing right now. they are not the ones being oppressed; so they simply chose to ignore it is happening, and say that it isn& #39;t real. +
+ "why is hj& #39;s fault that you& #39;re so sensitive and get offended at something so dumb? he apologized already, get over it" or "my friend wore that hairstyle too, why are you so offended?" +
+ those are clear examples of "i& #39;m not the one living it, so how can it be a real thing?" and i can swear to all of you that this happens with EVERYTHING here. no matter what it is, if it doesn& #39;t involves us, we can ignore it and no one will say a thing +
+ and it& #39;s horrible. because right now, they think that how 8 men feel about this is more important than ca. i& #39;m not saying we shouldn& #39;t care about atz, i& #39;m just saying that right now they are not the main topic +
+ right now, this isn& #39;t completely about them. wake up, l-atinys. i know we are used to see whoever we admire as some kind of god that is never wrong, i know we are, but wake up. yes, i admire hj. yes, i can still say he did something wrong. +
+ stop thinking about yourself or whatever is going on in your world, step out of it and see how other people are feeling for a second. you vote that song because "it& #39;s what /i/ like" "it& #39;s what /i/ think sounds more like atz" "it& #39;s what /i/ think that can give them a win" +
+ this isn& #39;t about you, for once. accept it and start seeing the whole image.
