Friend of mine’s cousin got beat up and tased by ICE last night. Managed to avoid being kidnapped, but it feels insane to celebrate that when he’s a citizen.

As I find myself desperately trying to look on the bright side, I hope my fellow Hispanics will remember this when they turn away from black suffering. Hispanics love to fancy themselves as occupying the social position between black and white, like we are the underpaid servants while the black people are slaves. Our shit is fucked too. We need to care more about black people and stop pretending we are immune from white supremacy bs

Hispanics are the only ones who ever view themselves as white-adjacent. It is cringe and stupid. No one else sees it that way. Everyone else labels Hispanics as minorities or brown or something non-white. Get over it.

Hope your friend's cousin stays safe and recovers okay.

To be fair, "Hispanic" and "white" aren't mutually exclusive categories, but also, "non-Hispanic white" should be indicative that they're disposable to whiteness.

They’re not distinct in a way that grants them their delusional identity in the eyes of anyone other than themselves. Maybe they pass here or there but they’ll always be a non-white to the people they daydream of fooling.

Hispanics and especially the ones that kind of pass as white endure less shittiness than black people, by a long shot, but the shitbags among Hispanics who dream of being viewed as entirely white will never have that

Wish him a good recovery, and perhaps you could let him know people around the globe support him. Might raise his spirits a bit even though it's mostly symbolic.
