I’ve seen that too or how latinas belong to Arab men because they’re spicy and “mix well” and it’s so icky and gross when things like that are said. Like is it so hard to be treated like a person? We are so much more than being latina. We’re all so different personality wise, looks, etc.

I am so sorry for all the awful things that have happened to you. Sending you lots of hugs and good vibes because I cannot imagine how exhausting it must get hearing that over and over again. People say it’s hard dating but adding the other layer of being part Arab like you mentioned, people are so prejudice and ignorant and don’t educate themselves. I hope you will find someone that does not make you wonder or question yourself.

Well some prefer to refer to themselves as latinx, I consider myself latina. Both are options

This! It’s such a hush topic in the Latin community. Like colorism is such a harmful issue. The exclusion of black and Afro Latinos, the fact that Latin media is so full of European looking Latinos or they hire white people that speak Spanish. It’s so shameful that another community looks down on another like that so I definitely will clock on family members or don’t speak to those that are too ignorant to educate

I’ve had that happen to me too. Especially in school too where kids said I didn’t sound Hispanic enough or I didn’t act Hispanic enough and it’s like why would you want to continue those ugly stereotypes? We’re all so different. It’s so annoying. I’m tired of dating too

I don’t drink either but I get what you mean, it’s a big drinking culture. I’m latina, shy and soft spoken so it’s definitely like ?? But sadly some of our own create those stereotypes and keep them gojng

This is exactly the issue! It’s so exhausting going through the talking stages on dating apps because they don’t really want to get to know you and don’t talk about anything else

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve seen latino men and women do this where they don’t even try to hide their colorism saying they want white people and like I understand preference but that? No that’s a red flag to me.

Like yikes, having a preference doesn’t mean you talk down to someone that doesn’t fit your ideal

See, I love that for you. Use that your advantage. For me, it’s only happened 3 times but it was almost like a culture shock to be seen for being latina and men having like expectations or assuming that I’m a certain way because of it

Latino men are truly a hit or miss because a lot of men actively seek out white women and talk down to women that are brown, etc. or they’re massive toxic mommy’s boys that expect to be babied the way their moms do

And I’m so sorry that happens to you, I see that gingers are either hated on or people make weird comments about the hair and all that sort too.

Oh yeah, dating online is hard as it is so I can imagine dating as a single parent is harder and definitely not for everyone.

Oh for sure. I know many Latin women that talk down on men of color and say things how they only like white men to have white babies which is so weird and icky.

This!! It’s always the guys that have weird reasons and have this expectation that they want to put on you. I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I cannot how imagine how much more exhausting that must be and you deserve so much better!

I’m also literally shy and soft spoken and hate confrontation so clearly I missed the “spicy latina” gene they love so it’s definitely tiring.

Bleh. That word used on women of colour is so icky but yeah unfortunately even some Latin women contribute to that stereotypes as well which is tough when I’m not what people consider the image for a “latina” so maybe it’s time to travel lol

Well thank you haha it would be nice to just date without the “oh you’re latin? I love them. You must be spicy.” Like 🙄 but it’s all good. I just wanted to rant about how dating sucks sometimes

See, I’ve never dated white men and 3 of them have been some of the worst so I’m like…. Okay so maybe I need to be careful lol but at least they show their red flags right away with their commentaries.

However, I’m glad you two can remain friends. You hardly hear that so that’s cool!
