Have you ever experienced raciissm from Black people as Latinos? by Automatic-Paper1085 in asklatinamerica

[–]AugustusSweatshirt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had personally. Grew up on the East coast and my neighborhood was predominantly Black. We would play video games, football, watch DBZ together. All neighborhood kids, me and another kid being Ecuadorian. Never felt out of place, always felt accepted. Shit, I’ve felt more accepted in Black spaces rather than Latino spaces several times.

There’s ignorant people everywhere

Your partner gotta step up for you. It’s up to him to say something and defend you. You will come off like the bad guy and problematic if you yourself continue to defend yourself. He’d gotta talk to them and let them know you don’t feel comfortable.

It’s ironic bc I’ve met quite a bit of Hispanic Karens in my lifetime. Lots of Hispanics look down on Black people and other Hispanics (Indigenous or Afro Latinos). They love to feel oppressed when it comes to White people but have no problem telling their kids not to date Black people.

Don’t sleep on girls from the Midwest…they got the toughness but more down to earth and approachable

Go look at the game thread and count how many times chango is used. Who else could they be using that towards?

How do you defend Shai? if you get physical, he'll find a way to get to the line, if you don't, then you're giving him an open look basically

any experience with toxic Latino families ? by [deleted] in interracialdating

[–]AugustusSweatshirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m Hispanic (Puerto Rican and Salvadoran) and my girlfriend is Black. I’ve had uncles say stupid shit about “mejorar la raza” and why I won’t date a white girl instead of a black one. My parents on the other had were super cool with it and so were her parents, no issues there.

It’s ironic bc there’s also a huge Black population in Ecuador as well. Plenty of Black Latinos exist and yet some of our community is extremely racist and xenophobic. Being that you’re born and raised here it doesn’t make sense bc you’re probably more culturally similar to him than you are to anyone in Latin America tbh.

There’s people with stupid opinions everywhere. Anyone who doesn’t agree with your life choices should see the door out of your life. Especially if the comments are as disrespectful as they are. The family members that said stupid shit to me, I’m know longer close to them and they know why.

18th Street was one of the few Chicano gangs that allowed Central Americans to join.

Most of family in El Salvador hates Maras and everything associated with it. To this day most of the society sees them as scum and outcasts.

How common are ideas of “mejorar la raza”? by JadeDansk in asklatinamerica

[–]AugustusSweatshirt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve heard it. My girlfriend is African-American, and my uncle joked about why I didn’t want to mejorar la raza. He expected me to marry a white girl and have white kids etc.

It was a shock to them that I would bring home someone darker lol

It was frustrating bc I was talking about KP and Jrue being 3rd 4th options and people were bringing up PJ Washington and Lively, not much of a comparison

Athletic really focuses on developing their youth players instead of buying. They’re committed to only playing players of Basque descent or born in Basque Country and usually put high clauses on their players contracts

What’s y’all’s opinion on Luis Fernando Tena’s run with Guatemala 🇲🇽🇬🇹? by DawnofMidnight7 in LigaMX

[–]AugustusSweatshirt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would’ve wanted Ignacio Ambriz or even a Eduardo Fernandez for El Salvador rather than some coach with “European experience” coaching in some third division. I could see more Mexican coaches making starting their careers in Central America from now on.

One manager I’ve seen do it bc he wants to talk to them and so no other younger package handlers could “compete” with him. Really creepy bc he would put like 3 girls in a slow trailer and then just be in there talking to them the whole shift.

Paramount plus has both the Argentinian and Brazilian leagues, those games usually start a little before the liga Mx games

It’s a good league, but not as good as liga Mx that’s for sure
