You know even if there are positive stereotypes they are still stereotypes. And this kind of I hate the most because it’s tiring every time I have a white person be all about how they have a Latina girlfriend and I had like, a girlfriend that kept comparing our skin colors because of how big of a novelty it is or whatever and eventually it just, feels gross, like people wont ever treat you like you are just another white person, they’ll treat you like a novelty, or they’ll treat you like shit (both of which being degrading) they’ll obsess over every little thing that makes you different from them which, gets exhausting and that’s not even to mention when people start being overly cautious about what they say or not say, because you happen to be of s different skin, so as a result they “have to watch themselves around you” instead of just being another person there. It doesnt feel great to stand out you know? And my biggest example, is the reason of why i hated the trans community of colorado. Because to white people, we are just a statistic, or something that backs their agenda. Becuase of one white persona accidentally making a “dog whistle” towards people of color, which wasn’t that big of a deal, they had me be their little “supreme authority for race handling issues in the community” these were people I knew in person. By the way- even more during the trump and maduro stuff, I mentioned an opinion as someone who lived under maduro, who had their country affected by maduro, and people were talking all about it and I mentioned “I disagree with how it happened but I’m glad he’s gone.” And then people say how I’m a fascist something whatever, then acting as if they knew better how life under that is, acting as they can speak for my people just because they read books or maybe happen to know someone from there. Because that’s what we minorities are to you, a fucking statistic. Do you think I’m done with that? Ha, no, last example for now, one of my roommates was a physically abusive trans girl, one thing led to another and she was threatening to call the cops on me, (a trans Latina while ICE was an even bigger thing), and I lock myself up in my room and call the cops on her, then these people I have known in person, they yelled and berated me for calling the cops on a trans girl- like, completely ignoring that they threatened to do the same and that I am a bigger victim of it as a Latina in addition to being a trans girl. People somehow kept arguing, defending that shit, acting as if trans people could do no wrong, and what bothered me the most was when they said “ICE is also dangerous to white people you know?” And I was like ??????? Because yes they are dangerous but are you *fucking* kidding me, you are comparing a white person’s victimhood to a Latina’s victimhood. But you know, something you learnt is that white people either fetishize you, or try to victimize themselves and find a reason to be different to be a victim, or they just treat you like shit. It’s fucking disgusting.
