@@magical571 “getting along” has nothing to do with these geographic terms, there is no place with a longer war torn history in the world than Europe yet they are rarely described as “they don’t get along” as much as Africa, Asia and LatAm. What you are saying is a response stem from ignoring the history of those regions so you opt for an answer that is easier to grasp.
Yes! It’s definitely a multinational and multiracial cultural identity. I don’t understand why people can’t understand that. I come from Chile, there are a bunch of nazis there.
I'm Dominican and after I left the DR I had to learn by myself that I was black, in the DR school system all we learn is about our European heritage, so sad, unfortunately.
I've always wondered about that. Americans see dark skin and say "you are black", but in DR it is not necessarily like that. When were you first met with anti-black racism in the U.S.?
Meanwhile woke Latinos born in the US only care about their African/Native ancestry and are ashamed of their European heritage. Why can't you love both sides of yourself?
I’m Puerto Rican. When I got to high school and then college, I was surprised by a lot of the white supremacy that was pretty prevalent in my home island. Through out school, they really brainwash you into thinking racism isn’t a thing here anymore, but it ABSOLUTELY is still a thing. There’s a BIG issue of colorism and racism here that is often ignored and excused. Much like our Dominican brothers and sisters, we have a culture that grew up on “I’m not black, I’m Boricua/Dominican”. It’s sad as fuck. We still have this bullshit to this day. We had a black news man who’s entire career was filled with nothing but racism towards him. We had a black politician who ran for governor and most of the criticism against him was mainly “lol, he’s black so he would be an awful governor”. So much of it is STILL prevalent.
Boricua here as well. My pops is a boomer jibaro and he throws the word moreno/a around like he gets a nickle every time he says it. I didn't realize how deep this stuff runs in the general zeitgeist or the island until I was older and really started to analyze him, and the culture in general. It seems to even extend to discrimination to PRs born on the mainland regardless of their skin color as being illegitimate simply because they were born state side.
Stateside boricua, presente. I didn't realize how much casual racism was in our culture until I got to a certain age. It's actually disgusting and disheartening, especially because I have always seen us as a beautiful blend of "Spaniard and Afro-Caribean".
@@lonewolf5973 y quien te da la autoridad para decir quién es y no es boricua? Si te sientes defensivo, sientes que tu identidad se está atacando de una manera. Tienes que saber que eso no es el caso. La cultura cambia igual que los valores. Esta nueva generación está tratando a examinar lo malo en el mundo y tratar a corregirlo. Te voy dar un buen ejemplo de el racismo boricua. Nosotros nos sentimos bastante unidos y mucho de nosotros tenemos un orgullo de nuestra gente de color. Pero hay mucha gente en la población que tiene una clase de lavamiento de cabeza la cual deberemos erradicar con educación. Un evangélico estaba en la oficina de doctor donde estaba mi madre. Había pasado el huracán de Haití . Y este canto de pendejo uso ese tema para predicar diciendo que Dios había mandado ese huracán por culpa de que eran negros. Yo tengo un familiar blanco boricua, y lo único que postea en Instagram es de la superioridad de la cultura española y narrativas de la superioridad de el oeste. Hay mucho ejemplos, pero casi toda la gente en Puerto Rico se aman uno al otro. Y para seguir demostrando ese amor, deberíamos examinarnos y sacarnos de encima la raíz de el racismo, y uno de los sitios a es en el lenguaje.
I do understand why Dominicans would dislike them back in the day for a period for invading that one time and wanting liberation from it, but yeah, the stuff around race always raises eyebrows.
@@BotheredBoy that point in history from what I know wasn’t black and white either, but it still wrong what the Haitians did, but that doesn’t justify the anti blackness
As a Haitian American, I really hate that this issue ever was a thing. I feel like the unity our people would have on one island would be beautiful. Unfortunately, both countries have their own things to worry about despite disdain for one another.
“Latino” is such a broad term as to be meaningless. A Dominican taxi driver in Philly, a Cuban teacher in Miami, a Mexican chef in Texas, and a Puerto Rican artist in Brooklyn might have nothing in common but a last name.
@@draco_1876 Yeah, but even that term is vague and unspecific? What defines “Latino ethnicity?” Language? Catholicism? In concrete terms, what does a 17 year old Peruvian waitress in Kansas have in common with a 40 year old neurologist who’s grandparents fled Franco’s Spain?
I don't see how anyone has trouble understanding what Latino is. How many countries in Europe have a shared language? Almost none. Any Hispanic Latino will always have more in common with another Latino based on language alone. While Americans just think, Europeans are all the same, they're all white.
Why latiné? 🤣 Even if you're gonna be gender neutral fair enough but why put an accent on the e? I'm genuinely asking. It's not like you say latinó or latiná.
@@BlapwardKrunkle I'm just confused what the point is. English doesn't really have accent marks most of the time, you just remember where the stress is... And putting the stress at the end makes it sound less like the way you say latino or latina in Spanish. So all it does is make it look kinda Latin to people that only speak English and make it sound more silly to people who actually speak Spanish. I don't blame people for not knowing this but nouns that end in e don't do that in Spanish. It's estudiAnte not estudianté, gEnte not genté, agEnte not agenté. The words that end in é are almost always verbs in the past tense and first person except maybe some french loan words. The only explanation i can think of is that it sounds more like the way white people say Latinx. They always say it like that Latinéx Latin. X. even though they say latino more or less normally not Latinó. When people use inclusive language in Spanish they will say persones latines, gente latine, les latines, with the standard emphasis on the second to last syllable. No accent necessary.
@@liamsmith4018 sorry, the accent is not supposed to belong there. It’s just latine, which is used by detractors of latinx since it fits more grammatically with the Spanish language as you expertly exemplified with “Persones Latines”
I dated a Cuban woman back in the day. Her father was half-black. She hated black people and said she would never date a black person. I asked her "why", she said that the whole aim was to improve the race. She had to go!
Mixed ethnicity people hating other ethnicities in a country that hates them for being mixed ethnic? Is so ridiculous and so childhood. Anyway the most importan tpart of this is that racist people who ar ein this groups are always a minority into population.
as a white kid who grew up in puerto rico i was savaged and nicknamed " cano "( derrogatory name for american )" because of how i looked. starting at 6 years old i was beat up almost daily by the local boys between the ages of 10 to 16 every time i stepped foot on the " cancha " to play basketball. all i wanted to do was be like mike, and all the darker kids wanted me to be was a pinata. so i have no idea what you are talking about.
Because it seems inseparable from the social idea and we do not believe that there could ever exist a state with lasting inner health if it is not built on internal social justice, and so we have joined forces with this knowledge

Americans don't always realise that what they call "latino" or "hispanic" is just white in many Spanish speaking countries. Who would have guessed the racialisation of languages requires multiple linguistic groups.
Bullshit than why does the word Hispanic even exist than since Latinos and Hispanic are considered white why the world wasn't informed of this 20 and 30 years ago makes no sense mean while the real white European Caucasian people are saying build that wall in America to keep anyone speaking spanish of any type it's sad that Hispanic people want to be look at as being white instead of Hispanic this shit is pure ridiculous Hispanic white nationalis what the HELL is wrong with the world today
@@orangecream3340That and one of their presidents back in the 80,s was a fan of Hitler and supported by Reagan.Its sad that people think that way, my parents are from El Salvador.Chile has similar political history.
Those same latine countries are also home to some of the largest Jewish populations in the Americas. The reason this joke is so pervasive is because most high ranking nazi officials were poached by the usa and other nato countries. This doesn’t change the need to address the anti blackness pervasive in Latin America obviously but we do need to be comfortable accepting OUR part and not blinding shoveling the propaganda down the line, as well
@@elpooryoricc yah bro colonia dignidad had nazis that literally killed and raped native Chilean children. And it’s a fuckin lunch spot now! Like it’s not a museum or history marker it’s legit a fucking restaurant
I’m an Afro Venezuelan percussionist and researcher and I congratulate you for being one of the nine existent people that understand everything you mentioned. Remember where did many Nazis ended up living? Plus research the whitening of Latin America as it’s still happening. Brazil 52% black never a black president. Bolivia 84% indigenous Evo Morales was the first indigenous president in their history. Venezuela 1952-1956 4 million European refugees! Latin American racism is the best kept secret in the world! You’re the best and most accurate bro. Abrazo
After WW2 many Latin countries asked for & took in many Europeans from Germany, Italy & Spain. In Brazil all you had to do was be white & touch ground, you were automaticly a citizen. May explain some but not all of the nazi facist sentiment.
Oh yeah. Very familiar with this, from growing up in Tejas. A lot of Latiné folk are suuuuper conservative, and they drink up all that goes with it; the fact that white Americans don't see them as white is only minor cognitive dissonance. One time, the father of a guy I was dating, who happened to be an immigrant from Latin American himself, told me at length about how brown immigrants from Latin America were a real problem. And that's before we get to the sheer number of literal Nazi war criminals who fled to safety in Latin and South America.
@@BotheredBoy they led to Brazil I believe too? Also, I think that there’s a whole state and “ ethnicity” of confederates descendants from the shortly lived confederacy, in southern Brazil.
There are white latinos that are very much seen as white. It's just that the majority of latinos from Mexico, central america, & much of south america are mestizo which is a mix of european and native american ancestry
Genuine question. How did we end up adding an accent to latiné? Are you actually supposed to say it with stress on the e? That doesn't really happen with most Spanish nouns, seems more like a french thing.
The imprint left by colonialism and its colorist system is lived here on the daily, and its almost shameful to think that a lot of people in Latin American (regardless of race/ethnicity) struggle to recognize that there's such an issue here. It is way too common here to hear people say "mejorar la raza" (literal translation: 'improve the race' i.e to have 'whiter' children). Racial issues I think are imo a lot more complex over here given that the boundaries between what constitutes each racial group are severely blurred (heck notice how 'Latinos' are lumped in despite just being an essentially geographical term); and the amount of thought given to racial issues is abysmal in comparison to say what the US has done. Once widely acknowledged only then can we take massive steps to remove prejudice & inequalities within our societies.
As someone who is brown latino and grew up extremely conservative in many ways, I grew up not thinking about any of this. We grew up not caring about any of it at all. To us, racism was something that black Americans faced, not even us a brown latino family. Thinking about this some more and I can only imagine what it's like for white passing latinos. In any case, the best way to approach this is not through zealotry of our wisdom but through simplicity and ease of how to better understand what we've already critically analyzed.
I'm always astonished by the level of ignorance in these comments. Colonialism has nothing to do whit it, in every people around the world a lighter skin is considered better, but this is not because racism, white, colonialism or anything like that, just because who works in fields have a darker skin, then the rich living in castles or villas; so, trough the centuries, having a lighter skin is automatically connected to having better jobs, of to be richer. You can see that in Asia, from China to Japan, Vietnam to Cambodia. They're not white, still they prefer having lighter skin, even by using cosmetics
@@TheVinci19 "Who works in fields have a darker skin, then the rich living in castles or villas have lighter skin" Do you think this was a coincidence? "In Asia, they're not white but still they prefer having lighter skin" What exactly do you know about white supremacy? Why do you think Japanese people are racist against southeast Asians in the first place?
How many times do we have to keep telling people that Latino/Hispanic is not a race. It’s a shared culture, history and language. There are so many different races in Latin America. The United States really needs to stop putting all Latinos/hispanics in the same boat.
It's interesting that the media, American society, or whatever one wants to call it, simply will not allow Giselle Bundchen to be referred to in even the remotest way, or even just geographically as "Latino." I guess a German cannot be "Latino" despite a huge German population in Argentina or south Brazil. It's crazy. Also down there is a huuuuge Itailan population, and English, Irish, Scots, French, Slavics, Japanese, Chinese, Corsicans, Greeks, etc etc.
La raza no existe. Es un concepto anglosajón, que como buenos pueblos bárbaros de europa siempre tuvieron mentalidad tribal, es decir, juntarse con ellos aunque eso llevara a veces a la endogamia. Los hispanos-americanos son descendientes de la mezcla latina (europeos) con otras tribus nativas de la zona producto de la herencia de la cultura Romana. Los verdaderos pueblos latinos descendientes del Imperio Romano son los españoles, italianos, franceses, portugueses y rumanos. El "resto" de Europa nunca fueron descendientes de Roma, ni siquiera en lenguaje, esa es la mejor prueba, porque todo puede borrarse con el tiempo, menos el vocabulario de las personas. Es irónico cuando anglosajones tildan a Hispanos de no ser "occidentales" cuando por herencia, lenguaje, tradiciones, cultura, etc son más descendientes de Roma que ellos mismos. Cada vez que un anglosajón dice que es la herencia de Roma miente, consciente o inconscientemente. El Imperio Romano jamás creyó en razas, y nunca se negó a unir pueblos que en "sangre" sean diferentes. El Imperio Español siguió su ejemplo en América, fusionando culturas que antes no se conocían. De ahí la leyenda negra inventada por el mundo anglosajón para desacreditar a España y afirmar que "el mestizaje" es malo y contrario a lo "civilizado". De ahí que en esa mentira, ellos, los anglosajones se "dicen" descendientes de Roma, ya que el concepto de pureza racial fue creado por ellos , y fueron siempre ellos los que como pueblos tribales y bárbaros de Europa, veían con desdén a otras poblaciones diferentes a ellos. Grandes males de la humanidad como el racismo aún imperante se lo debemos a los anglos, que al ser la "cultura dominante" enviaron su mentalidad tribal a otros pueblos, infectando incluso la mentalidad de los verdaderos pueblos herederos de Occidente (Imperio Romano).
Latinos are a race. They are the children the Spaniards produced when they landed in the Americas and raped the black indigenous people. Just like Chinese, Japanese Filipino etc. You will see black indigenous people in South America with wavy hair and black skin. In the Philippines they are called the Aeta indigenous peoples and they have the same features as Chinese and Filipinos. Even in the Pacific you will see the black indigenous and the mulattoes thanks to the British who came and whiten their race. The middle East and wherever besides Africa.
Great stuff. Feels like the conversation we had. Latin america is still feeling the effects. I mean even US census data tracks "white hispanics" and "non white hispanics".
if you read Jack D Forbes Africans and Native americans he talks about how the US Census was largely based on appearance and that the census taker determined how people should be labeled based on their appearance. Non-white hispanic(outdated term) is for Native Americans from countries other than the USA and Mexico. Mexicans are legally white because of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Hispanic used to be a race but they changed it to an ethnicity. Overall the uses of racial/ethnic terms are inconsistent and illogical.
@@ijeomafarrakhan4020 oh yeah, I remember Guadalupe Hidalgo, one of the key examples of "whiteness" being made up nonsense and racist bullshit, una pendejada. We were white but also not white, but sometimes we were a tiny bit white, lmao
So dumb cause you can’t tell the difference between a white hispanic and a non white Hispanic, many people who were born in Spain and are 100% European would be called non-white Hispanic by Americans.
Just another Hispanic weighing in: sorry peeps, there is a lot of racism in Latin America, both against indigenous groups and black people. E.g. Cubans in Miami have a literal saying whenever they do something dumb and mindless at work: “no hay que trabajar como los negros” or “let’s not work like the blacks” and they say it conversationally and matter-of-fact, like it’s ingrained rather than consciously prejudiced.
that's because, sadly, we've seen blacks working; it' not entirely their fault, but people coming from a village in African can't work, in the way we need in XXI century, and couldn't work, in the way they need in XIX or XVIII century. That's why in common language people say 'working like a black', it means hard, and getting to nothing. It was an observation, not a sign of racism
Well Argentina is 60% Italian descent. And Uruguay and Paraguay are 40% each of Italian descent. Brazil has 30 million ppl of Italian descent. Venezuela has 5 million ppl of Italian descent. Miss Peru 2022, Alessia Rovegno, is of Italian descent, as was Miss Chile 1987, Cecilia Bolocco. Also Miss Venezuela 1972, Maria Antonietta Campoli. Most beauty pageant winners from Venezuela have some Italian descent.
@@maryannwaters339that is only because history tells us the Spaniards purposely wiped out indigenous ancestry through murder of intermixing. I forgot what it was called but it was a decree made in order to whiten the populations through out Latin America.
The entirety of the Hispanic/Latino community has had over 500 years to prepare for this conversation. If we're not ready by now,tough! We're having it
Spanish, Portuguese, and French are also colonizer languages, after all. If "Afro-Latino" rolls off the tongue for people, why doesn't "Euro-Latino?" Almost as if the latter group is just a default setting 👀 Nazis resettling in Argentina and some other countries. And we all know Argentina prides itself in their white homogeneity. Plus, German farmers migrating to Mexico in the late 1800s and bringing the accordion. Like, all the white Europeans were in what is called "Latin America." The fact that white U.S. Americans who are ancestors from Europeans are so confused by this...even some very well educated Liberals get weird as though they lose some Lib points if they're "mean" about the history of South America. Like, they only admit to English being a colonizer language.
Latino is already euro, because it comes from “Latin” the European language, the Afro is added to imply the mixed heritage of the European language plus African heritage of the afro latino person in question.
@@ericktellez7632 You are equivocating the speaking of a romance language with direct European descent and furthermore ignoring the clear fact that the term is itself historically overdetermined with cultural significations associated with the pannational project of mestizaje.
@@Betez24 Indigenous people are indigenous first, can be politically Latinos because of their nationality but they are indigenous first, the mixed indigenous are Mestizos and Latinos, the way it works in LatAm is through their language, the speak their language as their mother tongue and the latin one as second. There is plenty to criticize LatAm on but the problem is mostly Americans of all ethnicities and races do not understand the region at all and criticize in a position of ignorance.
I'm a white guy living in South America. I've literally had a brown guy walk up to me on the street, do the Nazi arn salute and say "Heil" to me before becuse he felt he was white and figured I would be into Neo-Nazi stuff as well for being white. Well, white by South America standards. When I've been in the US I've been stopped by police and asked for my green card despite being a dual citizen. I haven't been back in a long time with that nonsense. But by the standards where I live now, I look super white and get called a "cat" all the time for having green eyes.
As a white American that is the most white American thing ever. Before WWII we “deported” a bunch of US citizens of Mexican descent to Mexico. You know the people who have been living in Texas since before the US even existed.
@@k.l3062 As someone who’s dated a French woman, the French are a stubborn bunch lol. They kept their language because the Brits had to give concessions to Quebec after they got it in the French and Indian war. Canada tried to clamp down on these rights after independence but Quebec had a bunch of IRA inspired groups that scared Canada into recognizing the rights of the Québécois.
somehow there's an awful lot of people who parrot white supremacist and eugenicist talking points who don't realize that they're also part of the undesirables
This is the best comment!!! Seriously, how do they not know they're being used. How come they don't know they're the joke??? The desperation to be white must be strong! 😂😂😂
I’ve had to shut people down within my own family here in Texas who started to hold anti dark skinned Mexican views. Most of my family have taken DNA tests and we know for sure that we are mixed indigenous Mexican/Spanish but it didn’t stop them from looking at dark skinned Mexicans as ‘dangerous’ so it is very real and it comes most of the time from being born into a privileged position.
funny cuz same happens in Mexico. even African inmigrants those barely who are here, are treat better than brown Mexicans, mainly cuz they think those ones are Afroamericans, you know US culture rap, hiphop.
It's an inferiority complex when your family is around white folks they probably feeling like a fly 🪰 inside a glass of milk. For white folks everyone brown skin is a little Mexican.
My great grandmother was Tsalagi. Prior to having our land stolen & being placed on reservations we had assimilated to white european Anerican society & culture that to my shame we participated in the Atlantic Slave trade. The umbrella of whiteness is broader than most folks know. Important to note that Whiteness can also be revoked. Folks have this belief that the US treated all indigenious as “Savages” from the beginning right up to the reservation system being established but they are wrong. The Tsalagi being one of the Five “Civilized” Tribes had full acceptance in American society until…..the whites like Andrew Jackson & his followers wanted the land & overnight the attitude changed & wahlah Savages.

I'm black from the west indies. So, i didn't grow up around latino people, but i was always aware of my blackness. when i moved to nyc, i came into contact with latinos. I would hear other blacks talk about latinos as fellow minorities with similar experiences to blacks and we should really reach out to them and forge closer alliances. but the funny thing is, the latinos i interacted with were often very condescending, hostile and VERY distrustful. It didn't take me long to realize that while some individual latinos were down and could identify with us blacks, the latino community as a whole were not our friends. made me feel sorry for those poor, misguided black folks who doggedly insisted against reason, on pursuing friendships with latinos, many of whom treated them coldly.
I think that in the united states this is highly exacerbated by the fact that you are much more likely to succeed in life and be accepted if you assimilate and play nice, and be a pick me minority, in addition to deeply ingrained colorism
Nah, they still paint you with the same brush if they have to choose between you or them. They stay on code no matter what. I swear they have an underground movement with meetings, goals, and agendas to maintain white supremacy.
They hated the son of God too. But Jesus’ true friends and God loved him the most. The one who loves us the most is God himself. Racism is a form of self hatred and hatred of God. Keep your head up!!!
Criollos was the local white elites that fought for the independence and most of the criollos are now in the US or the right to far right of politics in their countries!
I'll make the same comment here that I made on Foreign's video. If you do discuss Race in the Dominican Republic please make sure you get ACTUAL Dark skinned Black Dominicans to speak. Our experiences are very different than lighter skinned and mixed raced AfroDominicans and Dominicans of African descent. I just find it very Ironic when people are speaking on race and racism in DR but they erase those of us who live it the most.
Working on it. So far, the only ones I know are from Foreign's video, and the two I know IRL, who themselves are pretty light-skinned. Might have to go to the local Dominican barber shop and just talk to all the people there.
Let's nor forget all the 15,000 Nazis that the US brought to the US OFFICIALLY through Operation Paperclip; nor the 10,000 Nazis each that took Canada, the UK, and Australia, nor the other thousand Nazis that emigrated to the US etc. without any official sponsoring by the CIA/OSS, the Army, etc. Let's not forget! Funny how there are so many openly Nazi parties operating int he US ever since the 1930s and not a single Nazi party in South America despite allegedly being overflooded with Nazis.
It's very necessary to talk about racism in Latin America. I still remember growing up and hearing "indio" (indian) as an insult, as well as seeing who is better because they are "whiter"... and this is just a reflection of something much deeper.
@@deusmachinima1189 And I actually get your confusion. Looks like natives are called "Indian" because of the notion that the conquistadores were going to India. Thinking about that, it does expose the world view ignorance we have in Latin America. I remember growing up and ignorantly being taught that natives were "Indians" and people from India were "Hindu". Later on I actually learned the distinction between "Hindu" and "Indian", but overall people have little clue about those differences.

I used to have to work with this Mexican dude at a red lobster and he would always start things with the other black dudes including myself.

Beau sent me here & I'm glad he did. Very good upload sir very informative & truthful. You said things that many friends & family members been saying for years. To see these bigots dividing people is just sad.
Pretty great summary on this issue for people that are out the loop. Id also argue that the racist caste system is what prevented the growth and success of countries like Mexico where for 400 years they were tied to the caste system and that didn't go away once the country gained independence. Race got tied to economics and politics and there were so many civil wars that sprung from that. Also yeah colorism is still very much present in Latino communities where grandmothers rejoice when their grandchildren are born with light skin and theres always somebody who says something negative about having curly hair or darker skin. And even then, I live in a border city where other Mexican Americans will casually talk about non US citizens who are also of Latino descent as if they're sub human.
Mexico was set back because of rha "caste system" and colonialism for sure, but, there's also a big reason for our explotation, an awful neighbor maybe?
@nelo on it's own though it was already going bad and the US just took example of that. Imagine that after the US Revolutionary War, the founding fathers started fighting each other and one of them declared them an emperor. Thats what happened in Mexico and the divisions from race and class, i.e. the caste system. Even before the Mexican American War there were several secessionist movements in Mexico and a military dictatorship under Santa Ana
@@BobPantsSpongeSquare97 I know my own history dude, stop trying explaining it to me. And yeah, we had a lot of internal conflicts since...well, forever, a tradition that we refuse to abandon (ezln, narcos, autodefensas, etc.). But don't underestimate us influence, mexican "national identity" was prsctically nonexistant before the us invasion, and more importantly: after spain left, we institutionalized discrimination and racism following the gringo blueprint.
@nelo oof wait till you find out Im literally Mexican American and am a history major 😂. You're totally misjudging what I said and so I DO have to explain history to you. So again... I didn't say that the US didn't have a negative impact on Mexico, of course it did. What Im saying is that from the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1519 to Mexican de facto independence in 1821, the caste system ravaged Mexican society. Immediately after winning independence there was infighting amongst the different factions and that lasted before the US started getting involved. 1836, if we count the Texas Revolution, is when American citizens went into Texas to form a break-away state. Then 10 years later in 1846 was when the US formally attacked and stole land from Mexico. And guess what happened after that? Um civil war from 1858 to 1861, which again was stirred up by internal conflict, and then there was the French Intervention between 1861 to 1867. The three periods in Mexican history where the US extended itself the most was the Mexican American War, the Porfiriato ( 1876 - 1911 ), and then the Mexican Revolution and Border War between 1910 - 1920. TLDR: the caste system ruined Mexico and led to disunity upon independence which allowed the country to be taken advantage of easier by the US. Institutionalized racism had been cemented in Mexico for centuries before the gringos even had a border with Mexico 🤦♂️
@@EAghost7 fair enough, whenever the topic of Nazis escaping from justice comes up, a lot of liberal and socdem North Americans either don't know or gloss over the fact that a lot of collaborators (e.g. in the Ukrainian diaspora) and/or literal Nazis were brought here after the defeat of the 3rd Reich. So I like to bring it up.
Yes I’m of Mexican descent and I consider myself of many ethnicities. I do have African ancestors. but I am mostly indigenous. I am dark skin and I love it.
@@Sunish_mappingyou know it is what it is and I can’t change that and no I’m not proud of what the Spanish came and did to the people in Mexico and everyone that came here trying to destroy the people living in these countries & everywhere else. To this day they continue to destroy countries to rob them of the natural resources of their country.
This is not even just a white Latino problem. The amount of indigenous decendant(mestizo) and Arab descendant latinos that I've heard espouse anti-boack rhetoric would be astounding to these people. Mind you that these are the same people who recognise racism when it's weirded in their own direction and are quick to call it out then. My grampa still claims that he's white because he has blue eyes, but he's still a few shades short of passing the paper bag test.
@@BotheredBoy true brother but the latino community and the hispanic community should be embarrassed and ashamed for being racist against its own people and the white people from u.s and canada are laughing at us behind our back they are useing us and they still don't like us bothered boy
I live in Brazil (I'm African American) and me and my fianceé ( a Black Brazilian woman) are obviously Black, we look African and have dark skin. We have this conversation all the time, because if most people even admit that anti-black racism is an issue, they usually throw the blame at the feet of the White middle class, while ignoring the huge Pardo population which problably subcribes to anti-Black belief systems more so than the Whites in Brazil. I tell my fianceé as Black people, we have no friends.
@@skatebordstephen We got friends Black people just got to pick the right one it true no one can go into the Heart and Soul of another person but we can't let fear and hate of meeting friends rule us
I had a history teacher in high school who was Mexican, and he was only 2 steps away from full on white supremacy. He loved Ronald Reagan and would regularly tell us about his views on politics. He actually got caught having a relationship with one of his students a few years after I graduated.
Reagan granted Amnesty for Mexican and other 3rd world immigrants. only dumb and misinformed conservatives think he's so great. there are smarter conservatives that realize that Reagan was overrated
Yup just trickled down effects of colonialism. It will take a couple hundred more years to completely erase that type of thinking and reverse that social programming. If we can even get there…
I'm dominican and i was really naive about this topic while i still lived there despite being left of center most of my time there. After moving to the states to a predominantly white and conservative area i had to start thinking more critically about the topic and my experiences and it's made a really big mess of my identity that i still haven't solved.
If you're trying to identify as white you're not white. Whiteness was created in America. And the definition of white means not mixed according to British eugenics standards. So, anyone that's not British and unmixed is technically not white. That includes Eastern Europeans aka Russians, Southern Europeans aka Italians, and the other Latin countries, France, Spain etc. because they all have mixed ancestry. The Latin speaking countries Black ancestry is from over 800 years ago. They deny it but it's known anyway. Germans tried to claim pure whiteness during WWII but they failed and didn't meet the qualifications that were set up in the US because of their mixed ancestry. So, they claimed they were superior because they were German. But it was still a failure. That's why claiming whiteness is stupid. Because there is no one that doesn't have Black ancestry and if you were able to successfully breed out all dominant traits you would be insanely inbred, which the British and white Americans are. That's why they have high congenital and genetic diseases, lots of mental disorders, and have trouble reproducing. They've bred themselves to only have recessive traits. They are inbred. Therefore, they are white and you are not. They know they are inbred and are happy to be so. They are proud of their "pure" genetics. Research American Eugenics and you will understand that trying to fit into whiteness is the stupidest thing ever.
Clues to knowing you are not white: Your native language is Latin and not Anglican. You have black hair. You have dark eyes. You have "dark features" or "exotic features". You're Catholic. You're Slavic. You're Asian. You're Latin. The One Drop Rule aka one drop of colored ancestry. Whiteness is not just determined by skin color but also ancestry and heritage.
They allow other groups to identify as white because they need the numbers for power and influence. They only tolerate those groups and use them to do the dirty work of racism. After the 1965 Civil Rights Act passed tolerance was the new word of the day. Then the immigration act was passed the following year. So now, they tolerate non-white groups to identify as white because they understand those new groups can be exploited, especially if the new groups desperately want to be white and believe it's a privilege. Whites are actually the minority and have always been so. Research the Bacon's Rebellion. It's when whiteness was created so the minority wealthy could remain in power. Non-whites don't usually realize they're being exploited until 2 or 3 generations later. By that time it's too late and the people realize they've been used, have lost their identity, and are in poverty. Then some are deported back to their homelands or they're forced to go back because of poverty. Also, there are huge numbers that die fighting in America's wars or have PTSD. Some white wanna-be groups are still holding onto the fairytale of whiteness after hundreds of years of being in poverty and unkept promises, the Scotch-Irish. They fall for the white supremacists promises every time. Probably because they're mixed with British ancestry and speak English. But they are mixed with Irish and were always rejected by the British even when they were in Ireland. It's always funny to see when the Irish can't believe they're not white because they exclaim with all sincerity that "the Irish are the most palest group in Europe." LoL Their reaction is hilarious!!! How they forget that Ireland was the first country to be colonized by the British and fight for freedom pales any comprehension. 😂😂😂

I really liked that You went to the colonial era yo explain the latinoamérica history as this is when all our problems begin. I'm from Perú and we still live under a colonial scheme is awful.
Mmm that's part true. Incas were ruthless but the assimilation process of other cultures to their Empire was definitely not the same as the european colonization. Also, they were not the only civilization thriving on peruvian land before, during and after colony. There are many cultures living currently under a white supremacist scheme and that brings a lot of problems to my country.
Ugh! I hate that insult. "Serranos" carries a lot of historical trauma and is the perfect manifestation of all the harm that being the capital of the spanish empire has done to Perú.
Figures of Nazis fleeing to South America can be counted on the hundreds, while the US brought over 15,000 Nazis to the US through Operation Paperclip only. Canada, the UK, and Australia each got around 10,000. Thousands other Nazis arrived in the US without official sponsoring by the CIA/OSS, the Army or whatever. While Argentina has completely opened her records on her Nazi past for everyone to see, the US still keeps their documents as classified top secrets. In fact, the constant repetition of "aLl tHe nAzIs eScApEd tO sOuTh aMeRiCa" is a manipulative trick designed by the Anglos to distract public opinion on that topic from themselves and steer it towards South America. You do know that there are actual openly Nazi parties all over the US, right? Have always been, since the German American Bund in the 1930s, you know rthat, right? You do know that in contrast there are not Nazi parties in South America, right? You do know that for a country supposedly overflooded with Nazi scum and supposedly so WS, the one party closest to a Nazi entity, "Bandera Vecinal", has been getting stuck at 2,000 votes in total out of 30 million votes in every single election for the past 40 years, right? Balance that against the number of votes the Nazi parties get in the US, you'll be VERY surprised. Open your eyes, the Nazis you're looking for in South America are indeed all over the US. Smh.
Being Latino is something cultural, it is the region in the world that has the most mixture of races, that is something important to keep in mind. The wealthy class (not all of them of course) is the one that has historically marginalized the rest, many average people idealize that social class, that is why many people try to bond with them and putting aside what for them represents poverty. Classism is a major problem in Latin America.
@@davishropshire5361 I can't explain it. The stuff I'm seeing in society today are evolutions from a bad time in history. I was a fool to think Boomers dying would mean the death of that toxic ideology. They have managed to spread it successfully.
Since race itself is a social construct, it's not surprising that the definition of white changes to fit the desires of whomever happens to be in power. It even varies from country to country. In early America, you had to be Anglo-Saxon or Nordic to be considered white. Every new immigrant group had to literally petition the government to gain white status, including Greeks, Hungarians, Italians, Irish, etc. What people tend to gloss over is that Mexican Americans also did this. In fact part of the agreement ending the Mexican-American war was that Mexican people who were living on the annexed land (i.e. New Mexico, Texas, etc.) would be allowed to become American citizens, keep their white status and own land (rights that "brown" people didn't have). In the 1930s, the government tried to create a Mexican-American race category, and Latino orginizations protested it because being able to legally call yourself white allowed you to own a home, own a business and so much more. White privilege isn't just a vague concept. It has legal precedent. Until the Civil Rights Act, every group was trying to be white, and that's why you still have those check boxes for "white hispanic" and "non-white hispanic."
Hispanic literally meant “other White” for Mexican-American, from 1848 till 1980. When Ronald Reagan changed the term Hispanic, from referring to Mexican-Americans to anyone from a Spanish speaking country.
The algorithm is working somewhat. Your vid came across my feed. Watched your vid and subscribed. Also shared on Twitter and Counter Social. Looking forward to seeing what else you have.
My family is Mexican. My grandpa thinks white people are just better than non-white people. I was at a doctor’s office and one of the nurses was talking to me about how her partner’s mother is Mexican but extremely light skinned. When the nurse got pregnant her mother in law would always say that she hopes the baby has light skin and all that BS. When the baby was born and turned out to have fair skin, this lady was all happy and saying the baby was beautiful and lucky to have her family’s light skin. The nurse told me that she finally got sick of it and was like “I’m just glad that my baby doesn’t have your family’s huge nose!”and the lady got super upset. The nurse’s skin wasn’t even that dark, it was a light tan. After all this I took a moment to reflect and was like, holy shit. This nurse told me all of that information without me even knowing her at all; it showed me how much this experience bothered her if she’s willing to tell me, some random patient, about it. Welcome to the complexities of the Latino community
I had a Latina tell me to my face that she thought Afro-textured hair was “pelo malo” because it was like p*bic hair. Not even kidding. This was in Texas.
I was married to a Mexican immigrant for a number of years, and she's the mother of my child. I still remember my mother's confusion when my ex-wife's family met my son for the first time and what a big deal they made of how "white" he was. People of Hispanic heritage can absolutely be just as bigoted as anyone else...and they are absolutely just as vulnerable to the European bigotry that comes from skin color.
I assume (I hate to ASS-U-ME) there was more to it than just "look how 'white' he is". I have six brothers and two sisters. Most of my siblings are what you would say "tanned" but a couple are much lighter. Most Mexicans are "tanned", so it's no big deal to be "tanned" but when you're lighter it just means "out-of-the-ordinary". That doesn't mean BIGOTED.
@@machonsote918 Haven't been around many middle and southern Mexicans, eh? It's a cultural "thing" there that I had to have explained to me - the darker your skin color, the more people view you as being an "outside worker," eg, lower class, subsistence farmers, whatever you want to call it, it's bigotry based on how "dark" someone is perceived to be. There's a whole market there (and in East Asia, but for different reasons) of skin whitening creams, bleaches, etc, in an attempt to look "less tanned" (to use your term) and more Spanish. Is everyone like this? No, not at all, but it's still very wide-spread.
@@CyphDragon: That's interesting. Looks like you know more Mexicans than I do.......and I was born in Mexico. Some of my siblings are married to "lighter" skin Mexicans and some to "darker" skin Mexicans. Come to think of it, not just my family (siblings, cousins, etc.) but everybody I know is a "mix" of different skin tones. But then again, you know more Mexicans than I do. I tend to think that you're exposing your own BIGOTRY.
@@machonsote918 oh good, you were born in Mexico. What part? How long did you live there? Do you still have family there? If you would have actually read my comment, I said specifically that not everyone thinks that way. Congratulations for being in the few that don't. Would you care to virtue signal more, or are you done being an APOLOGIST? See? I can type in all caps too!
That's if you view yourself as equal to other people, and all of us equal in having to die and being thrust seemingly out of nothing into our dying bodies. No one chose their body or race, or the history they inherited. But that concept is lost on the far left, unfortunately. They don't view people as equal, they think in terms of groups and original sin that can never be forgiven or washed clean. Victims can do no wrong, and oppressors can do no right. And the only way to move beyond racism is to pick it apart and dissect it endlessly and make it the primary focus of everyone's lives.
But being to hold a privilege due to political power because of one's race and or appearance doesn't make hate an equal playing field. When you can terrorize the world without impunity that isn't fair especially in modern times.
@@jsun3117 Hatred hates everyone, including itself. Hatred testifies against itself. What hate is and where it comes from is a metaphysical, spiritual type thing. We shouldn't be so quick to say others hate, but we don't, because we could never be contaminated by that. That's how that kind of thing can sneak up on you. And whoever is in charge always changes historically, sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse.
Excellent video articulating the prejudices of the Latinidad. Yeah there is a lot of conservatives and fascists in the Latino community. I have relatives who don’t talk to my tías because they married black men. Ant about half of my family is ashamed of my queer cousins.

I'm Cuban-American and I can't express how racist white Cubans are. I thought it was just the rich white Cubans who fled to the US when Castro took over, like my grandparents. But I visited Cuba in 1998, and stayed with a white Cuban family. I heard so many racist comments about blacks, more than I had ever heard growing up in a white neighborhood in Texas. It amazed me.
Was the white Cuban family well off? It would not surprise that they would be racist, knowing about the ones who live in Miami. Is there a sizeable Cuban population in Texas?
@@shyphyrethere’s only 100,000 Cubans in Texas according to the census mainly in Houston Dallas Odessa Waco Austin and other cities in Texas but most of the Hispanic population is mainly Mexican and Tejano
My white passing damn near Polish looking tio always made fun of me and my sisters brown skin color. Asking us "why are you so black" or calling us Devonte and Sharkeisha. We finally told him off a few years ago. My sister and I are mostly of indigenous descent and you can tell.
Found you off of Beau of the Fifth Column’s channel. Very good explanation and breakdown. I love the information, but subbed for the snarky commentary. Awesome job, sir.
Not to mention that there are non-white people who embrace white supremacy. Why this is I have no idea, but then again, if there is anything that is possible to do there is always someone who will.
I live in Brazil and this is the exact reason why Black people here will always be a permanant underclass, the Pardo and EVEN some of the Blacks submit to White supremacist midsets.
Cuál supremacía blanca??. Los descendientes de germanos y afrofascistas subsaharianos son tan similares ya que nunca fueron civilización y siempre tuvieron que colgarse de otras civilizaciones para ser reconocidos. El siglo XX se caracterizo por ser supremacía blanca y el mundo luchó contra ella, pero resulta que en el siglo XXI está bien visto la supremacía afrocentrista racista y nadie dice nada. Ingleses hipócritas. Por algo Rusia y China los odia a muerte.
Because they accept their inferiority and accept the superiority of whites, cooperating with them makes them feel like the cat at the feet of their master while he pets them for betraying their own. Sort of like the concentration camps where the capos (Jewish) would kill and betray their own to the Nazis so they could get privileges, and thus avoid the same fate, .....😮😮😢😢
It's not by accident that the US snatched 15,000 Nazis through Operation Paperclip and brought them to the US. A bit less than that went also to Canada, the UK, and Australia. Openly Nazi parties are a common thing in the US, whereas none of the South American countries were Nazis have been has ever had a Nazi party. You must surely know about how every now and then the US deports back to Germany some Nazi war criminal who was living in the US since 1945, right?
Some non white people have not experienced overt caste/racism. Some white people have been beaten in the streets no robbery involved. Some people are crazy and lump different colors in each stereotypical group not caring to know an individual. Like serial killers in the USA tend to be white men but in another country probably not.
Im a black American living in the DR and get mistaken for haiten person all the time, and it's all because of my dark skin. The vibe is different, im on the metro people grabb their bags, pinch their nose as to say you smell bad. I like here alot but i think my time is up.
Im a biracial afro latino US individual living in the midwest. I cant even begin to explain to people how I get deep racism from all sides of the community (white, black and hispanic) and it all steeps from the same (white/color-focused) racist foundation. Ive had black people say Im "just black" because Im not light enough and my mom is a dark skin woman or they "forgot" I got a "lil mexican in me" (colorism at its finest) and hispanic people that refuse to acknowledge my existence at all because I'm afro-latino or from their perspective once again "just black". The Hispanic community especially in "middle America" can and at least to me are heavily racist. Now my issue comes with where do i find communal support from when all of my heritages and communities don't care for, acknowledge or want me in "their group". Not to mention Im gay... I know all y'all black and/or latinos know exactly how scuffed a situation this is 😂
One kid from another class, who has darker skin than me (and most people in school, tbh), considers himself a full-blown nazi, and brags about it, openly, shamelessly. I am the whitest of my family, since my dad was Spanish (not the colonizer kind, my mom kinda stole him from his family when she went to Spain, lol), and my grandmother often tells me that I am beautiful because "my hands and my feet are so clean" and I tell her that makes me uncomfortable, and that it is a racist thing to say (not towards me, but towards herself!) And she brushes it off. She often talks about "mejorar la raza" (making the race better, whitening, as you said) and I just stay there complelty uncomfortable with the fact that she thinks I am superior than her. And then you have my Spanish family, who called my mom slurs (I mean my grandparents, my dad and my uncles did not do that) and that treat me with reticient acceptance because I have BROWNER skin, but still whiter than those "black indians". It's sickening to watch my loved one be self depricating and praising me for something as arbitrary as skin tone, something I didnt choose or work for, when I know *they* worked their asses out for generations just to have a semblance of financial stability, while I am, arguably, a lazy fuck. Its so frustrating. I hate it.
My father in law is a black indian from the Yaqui tribe. I don't mind mixing with blacker skin. I want my children to offend colonizers with thier skin color.
Teach them the definition of whiteness and they'll stop. Once people realize the true definition of whiteness they will stop trying to appropriate other people's identities. White means unmixed. You can't breed into whiteness. That's why whites have the One Drop Rule. It's the bloodline. Anyone Latin is not white because they are not Anglican. The British created whiteness and it's their rules. Anyone trying to breed into whiteness is seen as a joke. They are laughing at them because it's not possible to breed into whiteness.
And now we have Bothered Boy quoting Gabriel Iglesias' "Yeah, they make them in that color, too", but for more depressing reasons. And yet somehow, the original quote is still on topic. Well, generally. Not for WS reasons. PS, oh, hey, the Casta. Something I actually learned about! Now as many school systems I've been in and as many museums I've been to, I can't tell you *where* I learned it. Could have been Californian elementary school. Could have been a Jesuit homeschooling program. Could have been Florida middle school. Could have been a Virginia high school. Or, again, literally any of the countless museums I've been to (though I think I studied the historic chart marking out the Carta in a textbook.) PPS: kinda disappointed you didn't get into the real, historic, famous WS folk who ran away to *certain* places in Latin America. Literal Confederates and Nazis ran away and resettled there. You think they would have resettled there if it wasn't *at the least* a place they would feel comfortable in, if not that agreed with their sensibilities?
Just happened up on this video and a subject that's been at the back of my mind. It all makes sense to me seeing that Spain colonized Mexico and the other Latin countries. Excellent video.
The first mestizos were the Spaniards....😂😂😂😂they were mixed with black Mores(who brought them and the rest of europe civilization) and Jews and Arabs who(civilized them and were considered tho most intelligent race back then)😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for your very well presented and accurate description about this misunderstood subject about race in Latin America I was born in the United States but I also lived and attended school in Mexico during my childhood. Per first hand experience I can tell you that I was always told by my parents and government schools that I was part of the white race. So I was made to be on guard and suspicious when some people and other entities here in the U.S purposely tried to convince me I was not of the white race, even when my features and my U.S birth certificate says I am white. I don’t need anyone to confirm anything, I know I am.
“Latin folks can’t be white supremacists” is the easiest “Tell me you know nothing about Latin America without telling me you know nothing about Latin America” ever

I'm Dominican and after I left the DR I had to learn by myself that I was black, in the DR school system all we learn is about our European heritage, so sad, unfortunately.

I’m Puerto Rican. When I got to high school and then college, I was surprised by a lot of the white supremacy that was pretty prevalent in my home island. Through out school, they really brainwash you into thinking racism isn’t a thing here anymore, but it ABSOLUTELY is still a thing. There’s a BIG issue of colorism and racism here that is often ignored and excused. Much like our Dominican brothers and sisters, we have a culture that grew up on “I’m not black, I’m Boricua/Dominican”. It’s sad as fuck. We still have this bullshit to this day. We had a black news man who’s entire career was filled with nothing but racism towards him. We had a black politician who ran for governor and most of the criticism against him was mainly “lol, he’s black so he would be an awful governor”. So much of it is STILL prevalent.
Yeah, we have a lot to unpack as Latin Americans. Thank you for the additional Puerto Rican insight! It's quite appreciated.

It seems to even extend to discrimination to PRs born on the mainland regardless of their skin color as being illegitimate simply because they were born state side.

“Latino” is such a broad term as to be meaningless. A Dominican taxi driver in Philly, a Cuban teacher in Miami, a Mexican chef in Texas, and a Puerto Rican artist in Brooklyn might have nothing in common but a last name.

I don't see how anyone has trouble understanding what Latino is. How many countries in Europe have a shared language? Almost none. Any Hispanic Latino will always have more in common with another Latino based on language alone. While Americans just think, Europeans are all the same, they're all white.

@@BlapwardKrunkle I'm just confused what the point is. English doesn't really have accent marks most of the time, you just remember where the stress is... And putting the stress at the end makes it sound less like the way you say latino or latina in Spanish. So all it does is make it look kinda Latin to people that only speak English and make it sound more silly to people who actually speak Spanish.
I don't blame people for not knowing this but nouns that end in e don't do that in Spanish. It's estudiAnte not estudianté, gEnte not genté, agEnte not agenté.
The words that end in é are almost always verbs in the past tense and first person except maybe some french loan words.
The only explanation i can think of is that it sounds more like the way white people say Latinx. They always say it like that Latinéx Latin. X. even though they say latino more or less normally not Latinó. When people use inclusive language in Spanish they will say persones latines, gente latine, les latines, with the standard emphasis on the second to last syllable. No accent necessary.
@@liamsmith4018 sorry, the accent is not supposed to belong there. It’s just latine, which is used by detractors of latinx since it fits more grammatically with the Spanish language as you expertly exemplified with “Persones Latines”

Bruuuuuuh don’t get me started on Latin American racism - it’s breathtakingly stupid, especially as it manifests in the US.
Mixed ethnicity people hating other ethnicities in a country that hates them for being mixed ethnic? Is so ridiculous and so childhood. Anyway the most importan tpart of this is that racist people who ar ein this groups are always a minority into population.

"Breathtakingly stupid" Care to elaborate?
as a white kid who grew up in puerto rico i was savaged and nicknamed
" cano "( derrogatory name for american )" because of how i looked.
starting at 6 years old i was beat up almost daily by the local boys between the ages of 10 to 16 every time i stepped foot on the " cancha " to play basketball. all i wanted to do was be like mike, and all the darker kids wanted me to be was a pinata.
so i have no idea what you are talking about.

Americans don't always realise that what they call "latino" or "hispanic" is just white in many Spanish speaking countries. Who would have guessed the racialisation of languages requires multiple linguistic groups.
Like in el salvador there was a genocide of non Hispanics, but that's a poor country so it doesn't matter what happens there apparently.
Bullshit than why does the word Hispanic even exist than since Latinos and Hispanic are considered white why the world wasn't informed of this 20 and 30 years ago makes no sense mean while the real white European Caucasian people are saying build that wall in America to keep anyone speaking spanish of any type it's sad that Hispanic people want to be look at as being white instead of Hispanic this shit is pure ridiculous Hispanic white nationalis what the HELL is wrong with the world today

Yeah, there's that classic joke about Argentina and Nazis.
Those same latine countries are also home to some of the largest Jewish populations in the Americas. The reason this joke is so pervasive is because most high ranking nazi officials were poached by the usa and other nato countries. This doesn’t change the need to address the anti blackness pervasive in Latin America obviously but we do need to be comfortable accepting OUR part and not blinding shoveling the propaganda down the line, as well

Latin American racism is the best kept secret in the world!
You’re the best and most accurate bro. Abrazo
After WW2 many Latin countries asked for & took in many Europeans from Germany, Italy & Spain. In Brazil all you had to do was be white & touch ground, you were automaticly a citizen.
May explain some but not all of the nazi facist sentiment.
Oh yeah. Very familiar with this, from growing up in Tejas. A lot of Latiné folk are suuuuper conservative, and they drink up all that goes with it; the fact that white Americans don't see them as white is only minor cognitive dissonance. One time, the father of a guy I was dating, who happened to be an immigrant from Latin American himself, told me at length about how brown immigrants from Latin America were a real problem.
And that's before we get to the sheer number of literal Nazi war criminals who fled to safety in Latin and South America.
Yep, unfortunately.
There is that old "joke" about Argentina and Nazis, though many Nazis fled to other corners of the continent as well.
@@BotheredBoy they led to Brazil I believe too?
Also, I think that there’s a whole state and “ ethnicity” of confederates descendants from the shortly lived confederacy, in southern Brazil.
There are white latinos that are very much seen as white. It's just that the majority of latinos from Mexico, central america, & much of south america are mestizo which is a mix of european and native american ancestry
Definitely a problem in Texas, there are many women I’ve known who pass as white who held horrific views about dark skinned Mexicans.
Genuine question. How did we end up adding an accent to latiné? Are you actually supposed to say it with stress on the e? That doesn't really happen with most Spanish nouns, seems more like a french thing.
The imprint left by colonialism and its colorist system is lived here on the daily, and its almost shameful to think that a lot of people in Latin American (regardless of race/ethnicity) struggle to recognize that there's such an issue here. It is way too common here to hear people say "mejorar la raza" (literal translation: 'improve the race' i.e to have 'whiter' children). Racial issues I think are imo a lot more complex over here given that the boundaries between what constitutes each racial group are severely blurred (heck notice how 'Latinos' are lumped in despite just being an essentially geographical term); and the amount of thought given to racial issues is abysmal in comparison to say what the US has done. Once widely acknowledged only then can we take massive steps to remove prejudice & inequalities within our societies.
As someone who is brown latino and grew up extremely conservative in many ways, I grew up not thinking about any of this. We grew up not caring about any of it at all. To us, racism was something that black Americans faced, not even us a brown latino family. Thinking about this some more and I can only imagine what it's like for white passing latinos.
In any case, the best way to approach this is not through zealotry of our wisdom but through simplicity and ease of how to better understand what we've already critically analyzed.
I'm always astonished by the level of ignorance in these comments. Colonialism has nothing to do whit it, in every people around the world a lighter skin is considered better, but this is not because racism, white, colonialism or anything like that, just because who works in fields have a darker skin, then the rich living in castles or villas; so, trough the centuries, having a lighter skin is automatically connected to having better jobs, of to be richer. You can see that in Asia, from China to Japan, Vietnam to Cambodia. They're not white, still they prefer having lighter skin, even by using cosmetics
Everytime my dad was like "consiguete una gringa pa' limpiar la raza" I wanted to dropkick him so much. 🙄
@@TheVinci19 "Who works in fields have a darker skin, then the rich living in castles or villas have lighter skin"
Do you think this was a coincidence?
"In Asia, they're not white but still they prefer having lighter skin"
What exactly do you know about white supremacy? Why do you think Japanese people are racist against southeast Asians in the first place?
The imprint of Colonialism is why you aren’t eating your children and sacrificing your neighbors to the god of rain so your crops come in okay.
How many times do we have to keep telling people that Latino/Hispanic is not a race. It’s a shared culture, history and language. There are so many different races in Latin America. The United States really needs to stop putting all Latinos/hispanics in the same boat.
It's interesting that the media, American society, or whatever one wants to call it, simply will not allow Giselle Bundchen to be referred to in even the remotest way, or even just geographically as "Latino." I guess a German cannot be "Latino" despite a huge German population in Argentina or south Brazil. It's crazy. Also down there is a huuuuge Itailan population, and English, Irish, Scots, French, Slavics, Japanese, Chinese, Corsicans, Greeks, etc etc.
Trump did it by saying Latin American are criminals, drug dealers, rapists, racists.
Exactly
La raza no existe. Es un concepto anglosajón, que como buenos pueblos bárbaros de europa siempre tuvieron mentalidad tribal, es decir, juntarse con ellos aunque eso llevara a veces a la endogamia. Los hispanos-americanos son descendientes de la mezcla latina (europeos) con otras tribus nativas de la zona producto de la herencia de la cultura Romana. Los verdaderos pueblos latinos descendientes del Imperio Romano son los españoles, italianos, franceses, portugueses y rumanos. El "resto" de Europa nunca fueron descendientes de Roma, ni siquiera en lenguaje, esa es la mejor prueba, porque todo puede borrarse con el tiempo, menos el vocabulario de las personas. Es irónico cuando anglosajones tildan a Hispanos de no ser "occidentales" cuando por herencia, lenguaje, tradiciones, cultura, etc son más descendientes de Roma que ellos mismos. Cada vez que un anglosajón dice que es la herencia de Roma miente, consciente o inconscientemente. El Imperio Romano jamás creyó en razas, y nunca se negó a unir pueblos que en "sangre" sean diferentes. El Imperio Español siguió su ejemplo en América, fusionando culturas que antes no se conocían. De ahí la leyenda negra inventada por el mundo anglosajón para desacreditar a España y afirmar que "el mestizaje" es malo y contrario a lo "civilizado". De ahí que en esa mentira, ellos, los anglosajones se "dicen" descendientes de Roma, ya que el concepto de pureza racial fue creado por ellos , y fueron siempre ellos los que como pueblos tribales y bárbaros de Europa, veían con desdén a otras poblaciones diferentes a ellos. Grandes males de la humanidad como el racismo aún imperante se lo debemos a los anglos, que al ser la "cultura dominante" enviaron su mentalidad tribal a otros pueblos, infectando incluso la mentalidad de los verdaderos pueblos herederos de Occidente (Imperio Romano).
Latinos are a race. They are the children the Spaniards produced when they landed in the Americas and raped the black indigenous people. Just like Chinese, Japanese Filipino etc. You will see black indigenous people in South America with wavy hair and black skin. In the Philippines they are called the Aeta indigenous peoples and they have the same features as Chinese and Filipinos. Even in the Pacific you will see the black indigenous and the mulattoes thanks to the British who came and whiten their race. The middle East and wherever besides Africa.
Great stuff. Feels like the conversation we had. Latin america is still feeling the effects. I mean even US census data tracks "white hispanics" and "non white hispanics".
yeah, I remember when I found that out I was puzzled by the distinction.
if you read Jack D Forbes Africans and Native americans he talks about how the US Census was largely based on appearance and that the census taker determined how people should be labeled based on their appearance. Non-white hispanic(outdated term) is for Native Americans from countries other than the USA and Mexico. Mexicans are legally white because of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Hispanic used to be a race but they changed it to an ethnicity. Overall the uses of racial/ethnic terms are inconsistent and illogical.
@@ijeomafarrakhan4020 oh yeah, I remember Guadalupe Hidalgo, one of the key examples of "whiteness" being made up nonsense and racist bullshit, una pendejada.
We were white but also not white, but sometimes we were a tiny bit white, lmao
So dumb cause you can’t tell the difference between a white hispanic and a non white Hispanic, many people who were born in Spain and are 100% European would be called non-white Hispanic by Americans.
All the "Man fr the Caucus Mountain" is telling you indirectly, is that as a group, u r Not A Race
Just another Hispanic weighing in: sorry peeps, there is a lot of racism in Latin America, both against indigenous groups and black people. E.g. Cubans in Miami have a literal saying whenever they do something dumb and mindless at work: “no hay que trabajar como los negros” or “let’s not work like the blacks” and they say it conversationally and matter-of-fact, like it’s ingrained rather than consciously prejudiced.
Sounds like a Los Angeles council meeting (IYKYK) 👀
@@davishropshire5361 basically the same shit
Miami Cubans are awful. I live in a daily frustration and shame with my own community
that's because, sadly, we've seen blacks working; it' not entirely their fault, but people coming from a village in African can't work, in the way we need in XXI century, and couldn't work, in the way they need in XIX or XVIII century. That's why in common language people say 'working like a black', it means hard, and getting to nothing. It was an observation, not a sign of racism
There's to truth to every stereotype
just look at spanish tv you'd think that latinos are italian looking. No afro latinos on tv.
No indigenous people also....
Well Argentina is 60% Italian descent. And Uruguay and Paraguay are 40% each of Italian descent. Brazil has 30 million ppl of Italian descent. Venezuela has 5 million ppl of Italian descent.
Miss Peru 2022, Alessia Rovegno, is of Italian descent, as was Miss Chile 1987, Cecilia Bolocco. Also Miss Venezuela 1972, Maria Antonietta Campoli. Most beauty pageant winners from Venezuela have some Italian descent.
@@maryannwaters339that is only because history tells us the Spaniards purposely wiped out indigenous ancestry through murder of intermixing. I forgot what it was called but it was a decree made in order to whiten the populations through out Latin America.

My great grandmother was Tsalagi. Prior to having our land stolen & being placed on reservations we had assimilated to white european Anerican society & culture that to my shame we participated in the Atlantic Slave trade. The umbrella of whiteness is broader than most folks know. Important to note that Whiteness can also be revoked. Folks have this belief that the US treated all indigenious as “Savages” from the beginning right up to the reservation system being established but they are wrong. The Tsalagi being one of the Five “Civilized” Tribes had full acceptance in American society until…..the whites like Andrew Jackson & his followers wanted the land & overnight the attitude changed & wahlah Savages.

I'm black from the west indies. So, i didn't grow up around latino people, but i was always aware of my blackness. when i moved to nyc, i came into contact with latinos. I would hear other blacks talk about latinos as fellow minorities with similar experiences to blacks and we should really reach out to them and forge closer alliances. but the funny thing is, the latinos i interacted with were often very condescending, hostile and VERY distrustful. It didn't take me long to realize that while some individual latinos were down and could identify with us blacks, the latino community as a whole were not our friends. made me feel sorry for those poor, misguided black folks who doggedly insisted against reason, on pursuing friendships with latinos, many of whom treated them coldly.

Pretty great summary on this issue for people that are out the loop. Id also argue that the racist caste system is what prevented the growth and success of countries like Mexico where for 400 years they were tied to the caste system and that didn't go away once the country gained independence. Race got tied to economics and politics and there were so many civil wars that sprung from that.
Also yeah colorism is still very much present in Latino communities where grandmothers rejoice when their grandchildren are born with light skin and theres always somebody who says something negative about having curly hair or darker skin. And even then, I live in a border city where other Mexican Americans will casually talk about non US citizens who are also of Latino descent as if they're sub human.

What Im saying is that from the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1519 to Mexican de facto independence in 1821, the caste system ravaged Mexican society. Immediately after winning independence there was infighting amongst the different factions and that lasted before the US started getting involved. 1836, if we count the Texas Revolution, is when American citizens went into Texas to form a break-away state. Then 10 years later in 1846 was when the US formally attacked and stole land from Mexico.
And guess what happened after that? Um civil war from 1858 to 1861, which again was stirred up by internal conflict, and then there was the French Intervention between 1861 to 1867.
The three periods in Mexican history where the US extended itself the most was the Mexican American War, the Porfiriato ( 1876 - 1911 ), and then the Mexican Revolution and Border War between 1910 - 1920.
TLDR: the caste system ruined Mexico and led to disunity upon independence which allowed the country to be taken advantage of easier by the US. Institutionalized racism had been cemented in Mexico for centuries before the gringos even had a border with Mexico 🤦♂️

@@EAghost7 fair enough, whenever the topic of Nazis escaping from justice comes up, a lot of liberal and socdem North Americans either don't know or gloss over the fact that a lot of collaborators (e.g. in the Ukrainian diaspora) and/or literal Nazis were brought here after the defeat of the 3rd Reich.
So I like to bring it up.

This is not even just a white Latino problem. The amount of indigenous decendant(mestizo) and Arab descendant latinos that I've heard espouse anti-boack rhetoric would be astounding to these people. Mind you that these are the same people who recognise racism when it's weirded in their own direction and are quick to call it out then.

Like what are some thoughts?
If you're trying to identify as white you're not white.
Whiteness was created in America. And the definition of white means not mixed according to British eugenics standards.
So, anyone that's not British and unmixed is technically not white. That includes Eastern Europeans aka Russians, Southern Europeans aka Italians, and the other Latin countries, France, Spain etc. because they all have mixed ancestry. The Latin speaking countries Black ancestry is from over 800 years ago. They deny it but it's known anyway. Germans tried to claim pure whiteness during WWII but they failed and didn't meet the qualifications that were set up in the US because of their mixed ancestry. So, they claimed they were superior because they were German. But it was still a failure.
That's why claiming whiteness is stupid. Because there is no one that doesn't have Black ancestry and if you were able to successfully breed out all dominant traits you would be insanely inbred, which the British and white Americans are. That's why they have high congenital and genetic diseases, lots of mental disorders, and have trouble reproducing. They've bred themselves to only have recessive traits. They are inbred. Therefore, they are white and you are not. They know they are inbred and are happy to be so. They are proud of their "pure" genetics.
Research American Eugenics and you will understand that trying to fit into whiteness is the stupidest thing ever.
Clues to knowing you are not white:
Your native language is Latin and not Anglican.
You have black hair.
You have dark eyes.
You have "dark features" or "exotic features".
You're Catholic.
You're Slavic.
You're Asian.
You're Latin.
The One Drop Rule aka one drop of colored ancestry.
Whiteness is not just determined by skin color but also ancestry and heritage.
They allow other groups to identify as white because they need the numbers for power and influence. They only tolerate those groups and use them to do the dirty work of racism. After the 1965 Civil Rights Act passed tolerance was the new word of the day. Then the immigration act was passed the following year. So now, they tolerate non-white groups to identify as white because they understand those new groups can be exploited, especially if the new groups desperately want to be white and believe it's a privilege.
Whites are actually the minority and have always been so. Research the Bacon's Rebellion. It's when whiteness was created so the minority wealthy could remain in power.
Non-whites don't usually realize they're being exploited until 2 or 3 generations later. By that time it's too late and the people realize they've been used, have lost their identity, and are in poverty. Then some are deported back to their homelands or they're forced to go back because of poverty. Also, there are huge numbers that die fighting in America's wars or have PTSD.
Some white wanna-be groups are still holding onto the fairytale of whiteness after hundreds of years of being in poverty and unkept promises, the Scotch-Irish. They fall for the white supremacists promises every time. Probably because they're mixed with British ancestry and speak English. But they are mixed with Irish and were always rejected by the British even when they were in Ireland.
It's always funny to see when the Irish can't believe they're not white because they exclaim with all sincerity that "the Irish are the most palest group in Europe." LoL
Their reaction is hilarious!!!
How they forget that Ireland was the first country to be colonized by the British and fight for freedom pales any comprehension. 😂😂😂

I really liked that You went to the colonial era yo explain the latinoamérica history as this is when all our problems begin. I'm from Perú and we still live under a colonial scheme is awful.
Mi ex-wife was from Peru and light-skinned. Racist too. Always complaining about the "serranos" !
you've always lived under a colonial scheme: Inca were colonizer, too. That's why spaniards easily built alliances to defeat them
Mmm that's part true. Incas were ruthless but the assimilation process of other cultures to their Empire was definitely not the same as the european colonization. Also, they were not the only civilization thriving on peruvian land before, during and after colony. There are many cultures living currently under a white supremacist scheme and that brings a lot of problems to my country.
Ugh! I hate that insult. "Serranos" carries a lot of historical trauma and is the perfect manifestation of all the harm that being the capital of the spanish empire has done to Perú.
Lima, belly of the beast.
South America's media coverage of Black Panther was pretty eye opening to say the least.
Let's not forget that thousands of actual Nazis fled Europe for South America after WWII
Figures of Nazis fleeing to South America can be counted on the hundreds, while the US brought over 15,000 Nazis to the US through Operation Paperclip only. Canada, the UK, and Australia each got around 10,000. Thousands other Nazis arrived in the US without official sponsoring by the CIA/OSS, the Army or whatever. While Argentina has completely opened her records on her Nazi past for everyone to see, the US still keeps their documents as classified top secrets. In fact, the constant repetition of "aLl tHe nAzIs eScApEd tO sOuTh aMeRiCa" is a manipulative trick designed by the Anglos to distract public opinion on that topic from themselves and steer it towards South America.
You do know that there are actual openly Nazi parties all over the US, right? Have always been, since the German American Bund in the 1930s, you know rthat, right? You do know that in contrast there are not Nazi parties in South America, right? You do know that for a country supposedly overflooded with Nazi scum and supposedly so WS, the one party closest to a Nazi entity, "Bandera Vecinal", has been getting stuck at 2,000 votes in total out of 30 million votes in every single election for the past 40 years, right? Balance that against the number of votes the Nazi parties get in the US, you'll be VERY surprised. Open your eyes, the Nazis you're looking for in South America are indeed all over the US. Smh.
Conservatives: Not sending their best since, forever!!! 🤬
Didn't know that about the casta before.
Yeah, a lot of people don't know about it but it was how society was organized for the first few centuries of Spanish rule.
Thank you for this video. I don't know this history either and I now have a new topic to explore.
Being Latino is something cultural, it is the region in the world that has the most mixture of races, that is something important to keep in mind. The wealthy class (not all of them of course) is the one that has historically marginalized the rest, many average people idealize that social class, that is why many people try to bond with them and putting aside what for them represents poverty. Classism is a major problem in Latin America.
In the US here, I know a homosexual man. I work with him. He is a Trump Voter. so yeah

I mean Blaire White pushes white supremest transphobia daily. 🤷🏾♀️
Since race itself is a social construct, it's not surprising that the definition of white changes to fit the desires of whomever happens to be in power. It even varies from country to country.
In early America, you had to be Anglo-Saxon or Nordic to be considered white. Every new immigrant group had to literally petition the government to gain white status, including Greeks, Hungarians, Italians, Irish, etc. What people tend to gloss over is that Mexican Americans also did this. In fact part of the agreement ending the Mexican-American war was that Mexican people who were living on the annexed land (i.e. New Mexico, Texas, etc.) would be allowed to become American citizens, keep their white status and own land (rights that "brown" people didn't have).
In the 1930s, the government tried to create a Mexican-American race category, and Latino orginizations protested it because being able to legally call yourself white allowed you to own a home, own a business and so much more. White privilege isn't just a vague concept. It has legal precedent. Until the Civil Rights Act, every group was trying to be white, and that's why you still have those check boxes for "white hispanic" and "non-white hispanic."
You know it.
Hispanic literally meant “other White” for Mexican-American, from 1848 till 1980. When Ronald Reagan changed the term Hispanic, from referring to Mexican-Americans to anyone from a Spanish speaking country.
Yep spot on
Ok so if I call myself white I'm just parroting white supremacy?
Didn't expect anything less from Huey Freeman

My family is Mexican. My grandpa thinks white people are just better than non-white people. I was at a doctor’s office and one of the nurses was talking to me about how her partner’s mother is Mexican but extremely light skinned. When the nurse got pregnant her mother in law would always say that she hopes the baby has light skin and all that BS. When the baby was born and turned out to have fair skin, this lady was all happy and saying the baby was beautiful and lucky to have her family’s light skin. The nurse told me that she finally got sick of it and was like “I’m just glad that my baby doesn’t have your family’s huge nose!”and the lady got super upset. The nurse’s skin wasn’t even that dark, it was a light tan. After all this I took a moment to reflect and was like, holy shit. This nurse told me all of that information without me even knowing her at all; it showed me how much this experience bothered her if she’s willing to tell me, some random patient, about it. Welcome to the complexities of the Latino community
I had a Latina tell me to my face that she thought Afro-textured hair was “pelo malo” because it was like p*bic hair. Not even kidding. This was in Texas.

I was married to a Mexican immigrant for a number of years, and she's the mother of my child. I still remember my mother's confusion when my ex-wife's family met my son for the first time and what a big deal they made of how "white" he was. People of Hispanic heritage can absolutely be just as bigoted as anyone else...and they are absolutely just as vulnerable to the European bigotry that comes from skin color.
I assume (I hate to ASS-U-ME) there was more to it than just "look how 'white' he is".
I have six brothers and two sisters. Most of my siblings are what you would say "tanned" but a couple are much lighter. Most Mexicans are "tanned", so it's no big deal to be "tanned" but when you're lighter it just means "out-of-the-ordinary". That doesn't mean BIGOTED.
@@machonsote918 Haven't been around many middle and southern Mexicans, eh? It's a cultural "thing" there that I had to have explained to me - the darker your skin color, the more people view you as being an "outside worker," eg, lower class, subsistence farmers, whatever you want to call it, it's bigotry based on how "dark" someone is perceived to be. There's a whole market there (and in East Asia, but for different reasons) of skin whitening creams, bleaches, etc, in an attempt to look "less tanned" (to use your term) and more Spanish. Is everyone like this? No, not at all, but it's still very wide-spread.
@@CyphDragon: That's interesting. Looks like you know more Mexicans than I do.......and I was born in Mexico.

One experience cannot speak for all Hispanics.
Literally anyone can be racist/hateful no matter their race or skin color.
The DC snipers were racists as well.
That's if you view yourself as equal to other people, and all of us equal in having to die and being thrust seemingly out of nothing into our dying bodies. No one chose their body or race, or the history they inherited.
But that concept is lost on the far left, unfortunately. They don't view people as equal, they think in terms of groups and original sin that can never be forgiven or washed clean. Victims can do no wrong, and oppressors can do no right. And the only way to move beyond racism is to pick it apart and dissect it endlessly and make it the primary focus of everyone's lives.
But being to hold a privilege due to political power because of one's race and or appearance doesn't make hate an equal playing field. When you can terrorize the world without impunity that isn't fair especially in modern times.
@@jsun3117 Hatred hates everyone, including itself. Hatred testifies against itself. What hate is and where it comes from is a metaphysical, spiritual type thing. We shouldn't be so quick to say others hate, but we don't, because we could never be contaminated by that. That's how that kind of thing can sneak up on you.

Im a biracial afro latino US individual living in the midwest. I cant even begin to explain to people how I get deep racism from all sides of the community (white, black and hispanic) and it all steeps from the same (white/color-focused) racist foundation.

One kid from another class, who has darker skin than me (and most people in school, tbh), considers himself a full-blown nazi, and brags about it, openly, shamelessly. I am the whitest of my family, since my dad was Spanish (not the colonizer kind, my mom kinda stole him from his family when she went to Spain, lol), and my grandmother often tells me that I am beautiful because "my hands and my feet are so clean" and I tell her that makes me uncomfortable, and that it is a racist thing to say (not towards me, but towards herself!) And she brushes it off. She often talks about "mejorar la raza" (making the race better, whitening, as you said) and I just stay there complelty uncomfortable with the fact that she thinks I am superior than her. And then you have my Spanish family, who called my mom slurs (I mean my grandparents, my dad and my uncles did not do that) and that treat me with reticient acceptance because I have BROWNER skin, but still whiter than those "black indians". It's sickening to watch my loved one be self depricating and praising me for something as arbitrary as skin tone, something I didnt choose or work for, when I know *they* worked their asses out for generations just to have a semblance of financial stability, while I am, arguably, a lazy fuck. Its so frustrating. I hate it.
My father in law is a black indian from the Yaqui tribe. I don't mind mixing with blacker skin. I want my children to offend colonizers with thier skin color.
Teach them the definition of whiteness and they'll stop. Once people realize the true definition of whiteness they will stop trying to appropriate other people's identities. White means unmixed. You can't breed into whiteness. That's why whites have the One Drop Rule.
It's the bloodline. Anyone Latin is not white because they are not Anglican. The British created whiteness and it's their rules. Anyone trying to breed into whiteness is seen as a joke. They are laughing at them because it's not possible to breed into whiteness.

I was born in the United States but I also lived and attended school in Mexico during my childhood. Per first hand experience I can tell you that I was always told by my parents and government schools that I was part of the white race. So I was made to be on guard and suspicious when some people and other entities here in the U.S purposely tried to convince me I was not of the white race, even when my features and my U.S birth certificate says I am white.
I don’t need anyone to confirm anything, I know I am.
