Unless you’re of Mexican ancestry, get that paint off your face.
I am Mexican but thanks for playing
@electric-hippie Unless you’re an American of white European ancestry quit using that internet. Unless you’re of Korean or Japanese ancestry, quit using that swanky smart phone. Unless you’re Italian quit eating pizza.
How does it feel to be so impressively xenophobic that you don’t think foreign cultures should mix?
yada yada yada get off my blog until you learn what the concept of cultural appropriation means
If you’re not going to acknowledge that you were wrong about me not being Mexican you might want to stay off my post, so it doesn’t look like you’re completely ignoring your dumbass racism.
Unless you’re of Mexican ancestry, get that paint off your face.
You might want to brush up on your reading comp skills my dear.
My dad is NATIVE Mexican. I’m half, which is why I’m pale. Apparently skin color means everything to you, so if it makes you feel better, my dad is brown. I. Am. Hispanic.
You were wrong, own up to it.
Still have yet to see proof you’re Mexican gringa. And yes for the record I’m aware there are fair skinned Latinas. My sister is lighter than you are.
like i said, I don’t have to prove shit to you. But I honestly just want to see you eat your words sooo
once again, bite me 🙂
p.s. you have the burden of proof here, not me. thats one of the first things you would learn in law school. you’re technically the one that would have to prove i’m NOT mexican, which you cant.
A man with a mustache = Mexican? You haven’t even said what part of Mexico he’s from. You probably don’t speak a lick a spanish. Did you even have a quince?
At best your a fresa (google it since I’m sure you don’t know what that means)
LMAO are you seriously talking about burdens of proof? Tumblr is not a court of law. And unless you’re a law student you have no authority to speak of what I should or shouldn’t have learned in law school.
(But it does mean that I will be making significantly more $$$ than you will meja. ;))
What the absolute fuck is wrong with you. You’re berating someone for participating in their own culture. You ask for proof, and each time she further proves her ethnicity to you (which she shouldn’t have to do by the way, what in the fucking hell is wrong with this website), you belittle her attempts to show you that she is apart of her own culture.
And as the icing on the cake you’ve been incredibly condescending and childish throughout. You’re clearly not mature enough to even partake in discussions about social issues and cultural concepts, so until you can properly remove your head from your ass and grow the fuck up you should refrain from harassing people online just because you are dense enough to make assumptions based on their skin colour.
More to the point… even if she wasn’t, she can do what she wants in her own life on her own blog and you have no right to tell her to not paint her face that way. What is it with tumblr wanting to turn the world into a totalitarian state? Ever occurred to anyone that bullying everyone relentlessly about cultural appropriation to this extent is a form of oppression in itself?
That uncomfortable feeling when someone is participating in their own cultural heritage, someone else decides they aren’t, and that someone else uses stereotypes to back up why the first person isn’t “really” a part of that culture.
(Also: for people wanting to know about the “fresa” comment, it’s a Mexican Spanish slang term referring to empty-headed preppy kids who “act American” (though it literally means “strawberry”- i.e., red on the outside, white on the inside). So it’s the equivalent of calling a black person an Oreo.)
And God help these people’s reactions when they learn I’m an Anglo fluent in Spanish (as in, I speak it almost as well as I speak English) who wants to teach it to middle and high school kids for a living. (Hell, even some kids who would be classified as heritage speakers- they might not actually be fluent or may only know English since they’re third- or fourth-generation from the original Spanish speakers. I had a Puerto Rican guy in one of my college classes in the past who basically only knew Puerto Rican slang.)
