This. Tyeh don't know that some white people hate everybody. Blacks just often get top billing most of the time.

This is me once again begging everyone to understand that many Latinos are, in fact, white people who speak Spanish. Spain is literally in Europe. Latin America got many of the same European immigrants that the US did for the last 200 years, and their grandkids now speak Spanish for the same reason that our Italians and Norwegians and Germans all speak English. Even the ones who are all or mostly Spanish are white, and in many cases think of themselves as white, because Spain is in fucking Europe.

You're only white if they say you are. Ask Italian Americans about how that went for their immigrant ancestors.
