    I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.

    One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.

      A lot of latinx people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise

        Yes I’ve had this argument with some Latino people. I guess they don’t to be on the shitside of the stratification, but the racist whites hate them as well.

        I lot of Latinos are white, but she was not. Of course to a racist like this guy, no Latino is really white.

        Only Americans seem to draw a distinction between Spanish descendents other European descendents. Presumably because they’re poor and on the wrong side of a line someone drew on a map.

        Antonio Banderas was bemused when he was labelled a “person of colour”.
