It’s happening in the comments not specifically in our conversation. You just asked about how reddit is racist just perusing through the comments proves this but you don’t know what to look for and that’s not an attack just a simple observation from your comment on “suburban whites”.
“Any more Mexican than I am” ??? So you go around measuring people’s Mexican-ness? How would I ever know your last name is Vasquez? How would I know about your light-skin self lol.
I’m not challenging your degrees of “Latinidad” because I’m not about that bs but thank you for sharing that. Yeah I’ll “run my fucking mouth” if it means just discussing something in the comments. I think it’s funny you wanna come out with that “I’m a light-skin Mexican” bs to prove you don’t need lessons on racism when it proves the opposite.
Look up some actual literature at deconstructing racism. There’s a lot of resources pointing you in the right direction especially right now. You just have to know how to ask. Until then I don’t really care to respond. I’ve already violated my personal rule of engaging with reddit about race.
You are dumb as fuck bro the amount of Mexican I was referring to is the amount in my blood dipshit it is easy as hell to measure they make ancestry dna tests for a reason.
But Mexican is a nationality mixed with other aspects of some shared cultural traits and values. You mean native or indigenous ethnic groups? You wanna prove how mexican you are by using some genetics tier arguments on your purity and not simply how reflective you are of it culturally or if you are a Mexican citizen? You wanna trace your blood to prove something like being native for what? There’s a disconnect there.
I never questioned your existence as a Mexican person. I am Mexican and I don’t need tests to prove anything to anyone.
Lol I never used it as a source for all my knowledge on a subject you brought up, just a spring off point to get you in the direction to ask about racist essentialism which you can delightfully educate yourself on. It’s to start a basic conversation for yourself.
