White people cannot be "white-passing." Y'all are beyond annoying with this. There is no such thing as a "white- passing" Latinx. They are white.
If I mean "mixed-race" or "mestizo" I *SAY* mestizo. If I mean a white mestizo, I say "white mestizo." If I mean white, I say "white." Nothing in there means " white-passing." In many spaces mestizos *ARE* the whites. You can be mixed AND white. What are y'all not getting?
Y'all keep comparing and centering whiteness on the U.S. Why? Many white Latinxs never left their country and they are still white like their white European ancestors. And we call them white and they call themselves white. Periodt. We use the word "white" and variations of it.
Y'all acting like we don't say "blanca/blanco/blancona" etc. Where in our lexicon exists "white-passing"?? Stop making shit up to make yourself separate and apart from your participation in white terrorism. You are complicit. You live and breathe it. Own it. WE ALL SEE YOU.
For the trillionth time it is very EASY to see that these white Latinxs using dumbass terms like "white-passing" never actually interacted with African descended or indigenous descended Latinxs. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CALLING Y'ALL BLANCO/BLANQUITOS AND OTHER VARIATIONS. PERIODT.
I've said this before and will forevermore say it. It is psychologically VIOLENT to sit here and watch BLONDES & REDHEADS say they are "white-passing." They KNOW that folks call them blanco/a. They KNOW IT. Now all of a sudden you are "not-white"? In what world Ligia Elena?
We literally call whites with money in Panama rabbiblancos. White tails. WHITE. WHITE. Not white-passing. WHITE.
I'm seeing WAY too many articles &written pieces with the term "white-passing." Listen if you are quoted in an article with that nonsense CONTACT THE WRITER AND TELL THEM TO TAKE THAT OUT THE ARTICLE. Stop sitting idly by while these whites continue to do whatever tf they want
Also do not take out your entire family tree when we are calling in your white terrorism to "prove" that you are "not that white." Y'all had no problem championing your whiteness before with your "abuelo con ojos azules" every GD two seconds. NOW answer our questions whitey.
Y'all white until we call in your responsibility and complacency and benefits in whiteness eh? NOW y'all mixed? NOW y'all got a Black relative. Fine. SO where was that Black relative when you are being antiblack 24/7? They only get brought up to "prove" you're "non-racist"? HUH?
And again. NOT EVERYONE CLAIMING TO HAVE A BLACK GRANDMOTHER ACTUALLY HAS A BLACK GRANDMOTHER. Folks lie. Like Rina Godriguez saying her dad is Black. They are LYING bc that saying is widely known. Plenty white Latinxs DO NOT HAVE BLACK FAMILY MEMBERS. They wld be disowned.
Furthermore, you said your GRANDMOTHER is Black. I didn't ask about your grandmother. Your grandmother is not YOU. Evade evade evade is all U.S. white Latinxs ever do. Cowardly and terroristic at the same damn time. Smh.
YOUR ETHNICITY OR NATIONALITY DOES NOT NEGATE YOUR WHITENESS. YOUR ETHNICITY OR NATIONALITY DOES NOT NEGATE YOUR WHITENESS. YOUR ETHNICITY OR NATIONALITY DOES NOT NEGATE YOUR WHITENESS. YOUR ETHNICITY OR NATIONALITY DOES NOT NEGATE YOUR WHITENESS.
