before I begin you guys need to take the word "cancel" out of your vocabulary I'm simply calling weston out for racist and insensitive actions ok
let's start off with the picture. Weston wearing a sombrero, which is heavily used for stereotypes used against us, especially in halloween costumes and movies, etc. and he's clearly playing into that stereotype. and the caption?? really weston that says enough
^^ it's pretty self explanatory why this is wrong especially when weston is white
https://costumesociety.org.uk/blog/post/the-sombrero-an-iconic-symbol-of-mexican-culture this explains the history and stuff about the sombrero!! I recommend reading it
and this is littearly what comes up when I search up "mexican Halloween costume" which again has a sombrero. News flash we don't wear sombreros every single god damn day
Now this just pisses me off even more
Again weston wearing a sombrero,, no surprise. The picture is just ugly itself but let's talk about the HORRIBLE caption
It says "the first word that comes to your mind when you see this picture is probably "illegal" you're not wrong" YOUR NOT WRONG? SO U JUST OPENLY ADMITTED TO BEING RACIST AND THINK MEXICANS ARE 'ILLEGALS' what got over your head to think it was ok? what the hell is wrong with u
People love out food, our music, our fashion and they love to "party" like us yet we are CONSTANTLY the butt of the joke and perpetuated with these harmful stereotypes. I don't care If this was from 2016? thats still a pretty recent. I expected better from your weston. do better
I also don't care about how his intentions were good or bad these are still very racist
before I go to bed educate yourself on latin american and mexican issues please https://lattiinandhispanichelpp.carrd.co/
I'm also sorry if this is thread looks very aggressive in the moment of making this I was very upset, and still am, but I just wanted to say that
this whole thread has even more things weston should be held accountable for, please give it a read https://twitter.com/anon_289/status/1380733690540666881?s=19
