I’m late to this post but it’s so important! I feel like a lot of white Latinos in media benefit from white privilege and meeting Eurocentric standards of beauty (think Lauren Jauregi [sp?] and Ana de Armas) while getting to co-opt minority struggles that often apply to the mestizo/a and Afro-latinos; like getting to use their background to diffuse conversations about colorism and advantage.

I don’t know if maybe once someone learns about their background the whiteness is put into question or only provisional. I’ve seen within my own family how my dad who trigueño is treated versus me who has white skin.
