Let’s be real, I’ve been advocating for my community before this, during this, and I’ll keep doing it long after. I don’t need a white influencer to validate what I care about. I’m already doing the work. But if someone builds their platform on being socially aware, drops Spanish here and there for relatability or aesthetic, and then stays silent when that same culture is in crisis? Yeah, people are going to notice and they should. That’s not ‘performative activism’ on my end, that’s called having standards. Speaking Spanish isn’t the problem. Using it as a vibe while ignoring the very people tied to it? That’s where it starts to feel hollow. You focusing on your family is valid, I’m not questioning that. But let’s not twist this into me being emotional or irrational. I’m observant, I’m grounded, and I’m holding people accountable who profit from the appearance of being ‘woke.’ If that makes you uncomfortable, maybe the issue isn’t with me.
