[quote=Anonymous]People in this thread talk about Latinos like they're a monolith. Go to any Latin American country and you'll see that they have their own racial hierarchies based on how much African, European, or Indigenous ancestry you have. It's subtler than in the US, but it's there. Ana De Armas and John Leguizamo are both from relatively well-off families with long, mostly European lineages (Leguizamo's ancestors include a former Mayor of Bogota and a Spanish Conquistador, with some distant indigenous heritage thrown in). If they were to visit their home countries they'd be considered "white" for all intents and purposes. But come to the US and people who would cause racist, rich old ladies in Columbia to clutch their purses get treated the same as those racist old ladies' coddled grandchildren. [/quote]
