Controversial Opinions (For Everything Other Than DC Comics)

[Old Man Ollie 1962]

I don't think reparations will ever come about, but I don't think that demanding for equal rights and fighting systemic racism is the same as begging.

Valid point. I hear you.

I think when it comes to allyship among people of color in regards to black people, Latinos are flaky as hell. You know who has been the biggest ally to black people??....ASIANS. thanks to the "Not Your Model Minority" movement, also middle eastern people (not too surprising considering the amount of black Muslims there are), and shockingly white millennials. But Latino's has been quiet at best, or incredibly defensive at worst.

I think that's one of those it depends on where you live things. It's anecdotal, but I can think of a number of examples of tensions between blacks/asians and unity between blacks/hispanics.

I would argue it depends on the "TYPE" of latino's and Asians. Some latino's think they're more white than anything else. If they have some privilege they're not going to give it up by allying with a racial pariah ethnic group/class. Dominicans are flaky, Cubans are flaky, Puertoricans are flaky. Indians are racist as **** so why would they align with blacks or any minority. So yes there's more unity when it comes to YOUNGER Asians at least.

Latinos already compete in which country and people is the best, thay why you a lot of hate between countries in latam, is kinda of a rivalry, when it come to places like the US you can expect them to unify and protect each other but that it, they will look after their own community interest without caring about society as a whole.

Given you could see latinos alligning with conservatives, given thay part of the latam culture are conservative values.

Out here in L.A. it use to be different. Believe it or not back in the day 70's, and 80's there was a lot of black and brown unity. You could even find Hispanics in the bloods and crips. But that changed when more and more immigrants came in. There's almost little to no relationship between the two anymore. But the point i was making was that Asians are making a effort, while Latinos are largely quiet.

Here is a question, what does the latino community gain by making an effort? Sorry if it sound horrible but what i am trying to express is that they are dealing with their own problems to think about other communities, in the US latinos have to deal with being deport, trying to clean their name because of the sticma of latinos being drug dealers and focusing in their communication skills.

I wont denied that asians or millenial white dont have problem but they have less problem so it allow them to have more time to focus on problem outside their own communities.

intersectionality and all that jazz.

Yeah kinda, if there is another reason for why they dont make the effort then i dont know but i am sure there must be studies about the cultural aspect of latinos in the U.S and their behaviour.

A good MAJORITY of their issues affect us too. And vice versa. For example https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/20...-voices/211487

And why do you think they dont care that much about the issued in the black community? I just want to hear your opinion

IMO some of it might be anti-blackness. Comedian and activist Aida Rodriguez discusses this in great detail on her Facebook page.

"puerto ricans who **** on puerto rican who are from new york"

Yeah basically, we dislike each other from time to time, not always, in emergencies you can see Latinos working together, a recent example is how Colombia is welcoming the refugees from Venezuela, but most of the time we continue the rivalries between each other, Mexican no allowing central american to get to Mexico, Chilean being xemophobic with all the Colombians that go there, everyone hating on Puerto Rico because they are piss poor, everyone thinking Argentines are snobs and cocky because they have European roots, this has been going for a long time and it wont change any time soon.

Also on the african american things, well is obvious the the people in the U.S and in LATAM have different perspective on them, for one here when people tried to get their independence from the Spanish, the leaders of the independence movements recruited the slaves and promised them freedom, so you had in some places blacks, mestizos (son of a Spanish and a native), natives and whites fighting against the Spanish empire unlike the U.S.

Except in Brazil, that is another story.

"some" is an exaggeration. A very, very small minority.

hero worship can be unhealthy

Disney again. Reason is likely that the traditional heroes are 'problematic'? No Arab Apostates? No ex-muslim Atheists? or a contractually-required minimum player base?
