      We’re not “obsessed with race”, we’re just aware that the rightists who invented the social construct that is “the west” and talk about it all the time are. They’re white supremacists. And “the west” is a white supremacist construct. Being aware of that is a good thing. I dont understand what your disconnect is.

          Youre being so pendantic for no reason. Its widely understood that the modern concept of “the west” is a white supremacist concept. Regardless of origina. Thats how they justify things like America and Canada “belonging to white people”. Thats how they justify all sorts of imperialist actions (the west civilizing the barbarians).

            I can assure you that the vast majority of people in the world, and probably the united states, are not as clued up about white supremacist phraseology as you and when they hear the term western culture don’t immediately start to think of roman salutes and blood quantum

              Definitly wrong about the united states i can tell you that much. I mean they might not think of roman salutes but they definitly dont mentally include Latam when they hear the term. And its not how the term is used in our media either.

              That’s the point of this convo though, it’s you Latin Americans who think they are white and western that are completely out of the loop. You don’t understand how racist the imperial core that draws the lines and makes the decisions actually is, and how little they give a fuck about you and your country. You are in denial about how racist the West is and want to be included in it for some reason when you should seek to destroy it

              You are hating on the messenger (us, leftists) for revealing to you the truth about American white supremacists. Don’t get mad at us, take it up with them.
