how can you be racist towards asians but not racist towards latinos? people say you can’t be racist towards latinos bc they have too many phenotypes so it’s more like being xenophobic. but asians also have extreme phenotypical differences /srs
Are you really expecting racists to have any sort of logical reasoning

People just be makin up their own definitions for racism these days. Be nice to everyone unless they’re an asshole

people say you can’t be racist towards latinos because it’s an ethnicity and not a race

i didn’t realize it was just racists saying it. i saw a lot of people saying latino is an ethnicity not race so i thought it was a common belief, that’s my bad

i was just curious because i wanted to understand how latinos experience racism but people were telling me they don’t and it’s xenophobia so i was really confused. i’m just trying to educate myself but i’m autistic so sometimes i don’t understand social constructs well

Yeah I’m right with you. These kind of social constructs can be super confusing, especially because they have a tendency to shift and change over time. You literally don’t have a reason to be sorry
