People insist on calling me a European even though this is the continent of OG nationalism and legitimate races and I'm frankly insulted to be lumped in the same group as those race -mixing spaniards who don't even exist as a real natio...

I suppose for Americans it's more of a race thing since race in the US is seen as some kind of immutable and inheritable status and not a form of self-identification. But besides that, me calling you a latino doesn't automatically mean I'm somehow denying you the right to identify as a member of a distinct nation or tribe or some other group, it's just a question of me noting (from my narrow point of view) that you're part of some group that shares certain cultural commonalities co-created by your shared history or whatever.

As for south american cultural continuities before the time of colonization, I had thought the view that native cultures where pretty much obliterated and whatever populations left after the great plagues were forcibly assimilated into the colonial ruling cultures, barring those groups that managed to maintain their cultural identities as tribal members to this day, was the concensus view. Dunno if that's chauvinistic, but I had thought that distinct South American identities as members of different nations started conciously emerging only around the time of the Bolivarian Revolutions?

If Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz said they were white, nobody but pedantic racists would really disagree. As someone who lives in Florida, I know plenty of people of Cuban descent who basically are considered white by everyone unless they themselves make a point of saying otherwise. Maybe it's different in Miami where there's a greater concentration and greater likelihood of retaining the accent, but elsewhere second or third generation Cubans (at least those with relatively light skin) are essentially white, and intermarriage is ultimately going to do a lot to erase the distinction for a lot of the Hispanic population in general.

I thought Americans were obsessed with race until I talked to a Chilean girl who talked about how proud she was when she dyed her hair blonde and people thought it was really hers, and that all of her friends thought she was lucky for having a European last name. She refused to believe me when I told her being too pale is actually considered a bad thing here. I don't know if that kind of thing happens elsewhere in Latin America, or if Chile is a particularly egregious example, but denying that racial hierarchies based on skin color unfortunately exist in many parts of the world is ridiculous. My point was just that in the US, after two or three generations, the hierarchy tends to reset to black people and then everyone else.

So Chile has *more* of "look at how Euro I am" thing than Southern Brazilians or Argentinians? Holy poo poo

I mean I get their Libertador was Bernardo O'Higgins but come on

edit so I am not gratuitously dunking on the neighbor: few years back a friend of mine went to Italy for a student exchange program that she qualified for at uni, with her went a class colleague, who has an Italian surname, white, blue eyes and blonde. According to my friend, she couldn't stop blabbing how much at home she felt while the other Italians they made friends of just went "lol what the gently caress" until one of them said "well Italy is full of Italians already, Brazilians are more interesting"

As a mestizo, I'll be the first to tell you that Latin America is racist, but don't whitewash Anglo racism.


The Anglos enslaved and colonized 90% of the global south and continue to oppress brown people, systematically, institutionally, and culturally.

Latinos may be racist, but we don't hold a candle to the Anglos. (Literal slavery 150 years ago, Jim Crow, Apartheid, and now the indiscriminate killing of brown people in the US by police forces)

i mean it terms of outcomes of course nothing compares to anglo racism

in terms of insidiousness on modern day life i say latinos take the cake because not only is it extremely prevalent its never even adressed or called out. foe example its basically impossible for my brother who is more dark skinned than me to get into fancy nightclubs. if something like that happened in america you could raise a huge stink but over here no one gives a poo poo
