the amount of “but Latinos can be white” replies here reminds me that we still have a long path ahead of us. I never said Latinos cannot be white. All I said is that the man in this picture is brown-skinned and does not look like a full-blown European. Like most Latinos, he has a European background and Native American background and most likely also some African background. I look very similar to him with the same tone of brown and I would never consider myself White.

That’s what I thought. I mean, as far as I know, “Mexican” itself isn’t really a race, but rather a nationality? Aren’t the Mexican people we know today a mix of Spanish colonizers/settlers (white people), and indigenous peoples? You can’t win the social conditioning of 400 years due to the Spanish caste system. White is aspirational and equal to wealth and a better quality of life. Even if you find yourself a minority beating another minority.
