      You know latinx was coined by actually queer/NB latinx people, right? It’s not just a white people thing.

      OP isn’t ignorant because they’re white, they’re ignorant because of the impact of their social economic class on their education, life experience, and world view.

      Your comment opening with:

      “Leave it to a white person to…” Is blatant racism.

        If I can be racist against my very own (according to the 23 and me dealy i got for Christmas 4 years ago) kind, than you know what? Fine I’ll take that. White people, especially Americans who feel the need to preamble that with some other European nation like it was an additional qualifying ethnicity, suck. I dislike them. It’s like, ooh look at me I’m extra white. Fuck that. They are attention seeking children and a net negative for society.

        I’m pretty sure that as a white person I’m aloud to call out a type of behavior that has become all to common in white people.

          You’re allowed to do a lot of things. What I’m really getting at is what kind of person it makes you.

            I’m the kind of person who is sick of being lumped in with people who look like me. White people are not my people just because we have similar pigmentation but I’m certainly not going around claiming to be some other ethnicity because i think it’s a state of mind. I might have a chip on my shoulder. I was raised by a very active civil rights activist and this shit makes me sick.
