hermanas en algún punto tenemos que aceptar que la "representación latina" no es para nosotres, está pensada por y para yankis y por eso nunca vamos a estar de acuerdo, ellos tienen un concepto de latinidad basado en la inmigración (y en estereotipos que toman como verdades biológicas) y nosotros en nuestra vida de todos los días idk

Stop reminding me that people in other countries have dinner at 5 PM. That sucks so bad, what do you do when you get hungry at 5-10 PM, do you just starve. For the love of god just invent your own merienda time already (merienda, or as some call it, "tea time")

If you’re Latine/Latinx who don’t know how to speak Spanish. That’s okay, you’re still Latine/Latinx.

So since it the last day of Hispanic heritage, and honestly I wish I was more participle with this month as an Hispanic. I’ll try to do that next time, I think honestly I just really don’t know what to exactly post, but then I had a thought. Something I wish I had someone tell me back then. So I want to talk about it in honor of Hispanic heritage month, sorry if I did this on the last day, I’ll do better next time. But for now, I wanna share just a small story while also showing encouragement, so hope you like it.

So, If you go on my introduction post, I noted that I’m Puerto Rican and also, that I don’t know how to speak Spanish. Ironic/silly isn’t it? It even more so considering mostly all my family speak Spanish, so your a question that your asking is “didn’t your folks teach you?”. Well, haha about that, you see I’m not gonna reveal anything super personal, all imma say to give context is that I couldn’t talk until I was exactly five years old; so my mom kinda had no other choice but to teach me English. So most of my childhood that was the only language I learn.

Now probably also wondering “well, you learn English? didn’t you have Spanish class?”, yes I did, in my state at least, the require language to learn was Spanish (which imma reveal a very silly funfact: I thought because of movies/show the require language was French because all they learn was french.), so as a kid I wanted to learn; only, people there already were very advantage in Spanish, a lot better than me, (small context: in my state, majority of the people are more Spanish speakers, let me clarify I’m not saying this is bad since I do love Spanish. I’m just clarifying to provide context) and not only that, the spanish at least I was taught were completely different than the Spanish I know with my folks. So as a kid, it made me really insecure about my Spanish skills, like sure I knew some basic and whatnot but I couldn’t and still can’t speak fluently like my folks. So overtime, I got insecure about my identity too. It got to the point that I wasn’t proud to be Hispanic, because back then a thought that would play was “what’s the point if I can’t even speak our basic language?”. This wasn’t to say I didn’t love being Puerto Rican or Puerto Rico as a whole, I love being Puerto Rican and Puerto Rico, I just felt in a way, I’m not worthy to call myself Puerto Rican if I couldn’t speak Spanish. I still remember a teacher even told me that “it kinda is your mom fault for not teaching you” and it boy if that didn’t make me more self conscious. (There was more, but I’m not comfortable revealing them just yet. So maybe next time my ghostly pals)

But then, I remember, 2020, I watched Emirichu’s video about her Asian experience. And it help me feel emotional, because while my parents didn’t move form Puerto Rico to America (that goes to my grandma), like Emily, I had this big disconnect from my Puerto Rican roots and often feel envious when others spoke better Spanish than me. And not only that, I did at some point and like mention I felt embarrassed so I convinced myself say “oh I can never like tostones” or “I’m definitely going to feel more of an outside if I ever visit Puerto Rico one day” or even “I might as well not try, it already too late”. But, the video let me know I wasn’t alone. And even seeing comments under the video, it help me feel like I wasn’t the only one with this identity crisis. But one thing that I feel is upmost important that I toke from the video, “you’re still Latine/Latinx/any other race no matter if you can or can’t speak Spanish or any native language.” And man, I wish I heard that a lot during my childhood rather than feeling embarrassed, ashamed or feel out of place. But I’m happy I found this video, and I’m glad the video found me and others like me.

So overtime, I began to slowly become appreciative of my roots. I think what was maybe the final push was Lin Manuel Miranda’s Broadway turn movie “In the heights”, now I love the Broadway, so when watching the movie, I couldn’t help but love it even more, because I appreciate how the movie celebrate all walks of Latine/Latinx/Hispanic cultures from Dominican, Cuban, Chilean, Mexican, Colombian, Puerto Rican and more. How this community is so vast and vibrant of overall, proud of their heritage. So I began to slowly being loving my heritage, and for healing, whenever I make an oc, I make them Puerto Rican or headcanon an existing character as Puerto Rican, or learn fact about Puerto Rico to feel more connected (like funfact did you know Puerto Rico is also called Isla del Encanto? Isn’t that beautiful? 🥹) and even now I would ask my mom “hey what does *insert Spanish phrase* mean?” Granted, I will still get moment where I doubt or have imposter syndrome (or as my mom would sometimes say I am my worse critic). But I stop myself, and say “hey, you’re still Hispanic/Latine/Latinx.” Or “don’t worry, you’re still learning.” It’s still a process. And even now I still don’t know Spanish, like I guess to best describe it, I know what people can be saying or what they’re talking about depending on the context but I don’t know how to respond back. Nor write..or spell. But I still am learning as I go, my folks told me one of the best way is to listen to Spanish song and so I’ve been trying to do that or I’ll ask my mom “hey is this accurate?”. So I just want to tell the people who will read this or my Hispanic/Latine/Latinx ghost pals that, no matter if you can’t speak the language, like certain food from your roots, or are feeling the same way I felt, it’s okay, your still valid and you’re still Hispanic/Latine/Latinx. I can’t say it going to be easy, because I’ll be a hypocrite if I did, but, I can say, it worth it each step of the way. And I wish you luck amigos.

But, thanks for taking the time to read this, I know this isn’t my usually good omen content and I’m sorry if I wasn’t super active for this heritage month. I’ll try better next time. But until then, hope your having your last day of Hispanic/Latine/Latinx heritage month! what is it I can do to be more participant for next time? Let me know! Or if you have any question about this post or anything, my inbox is open ask away my fellow ghost ^v^ And always, especially with it still being all hallow’s Eve, stay spooky my pals!

the latine identity is like the opposite of gatekeeping you literally just have to learn and participate in the culture. learn spanish/portuguese/indigenous languages. learn our history as taught by us. travel and visit our countries. listen to our music. read our books. watch our movies and shows. learn our customs. eat our food. make our food. celebrate our holidays. wear our clothes. eat our candy. listen to us. we love to share. we go nuts at literally the slightest acknowledgment of "this is a beautiful culture." everyone is welcome to participate. what you can't do, is to refuse to do all those things, blame your parents or your grandparents or your upbringing and still have the audacity to try and call yourself latine.

I can’t stress this enough. My mental state is a little fragile right now but seeing all my pumpkins excited and loving Halloween heals my heart a lot. Though with all this hate going on in the world— as a Mexican trans man. It sucks. Trying to tell myself my whole life— I’m not an awful person because of who I am.

Pumpkins all shapes and forms— please take care of yourselves. Make sure to eat, drink water, step away or whatever it is— rest and know that every one of you deserve to be here.

Allies please love your black, trans, disabled and our BIPOC siblings even harder. Help artist, content creators, businesses— rt, reblog, boost, donate to their Patreon, kofi, paypal, venmo— everything helps.

I know I typically don’t make these posts but my heart and mind are just hurting… thank you all.

Much love and pumpkins 🎃

So I saw a post where you said Jake has a right to the Mayan symbols on his coat collar, but I've also seen people say Oscar Isaac is a white latino and also that he's "obviously a white man", and yet Oscar himself has also claimed being a poc/not white a couple of times, so I'm confused???

Assuming Jake/MK sys is Guatemalan like Oscar Isaac, personally I’d argue that he has the right to wear Mayan clothing. Mayan history is part of Guatemalan history, so even if Jake isn’t racially Mayan and as long as he’s respecting the culture, it’s still his culture. 

Disclaimers: This is my opinion as a Mexican person of Yaqui/Seri/Spanish ancestry, some other natives/latines may disagree.  

As far as I know, Oscar Isaac has never explicitly said what his race is. But considering that his mother is Guatemalan and 82 percent of the population is indigenous or has indigenous ancestry, and looking at his general appearance, it’s safe to assume that he’s Ladino/Mestizo(mix indigenious/European ancestry) and would therefore be POC. However, if Oscar claims to be POC/not white, just take his word. We don’t know his family ancestry, we don’t have his 23andme, and it’s not our place to speculate. 

Because of colonization, most Latines are multiracial. A majority of the population is of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry. Slavery and immigration also play a factor a significant percentage are mixed with other European, African, MENA, and Asian ancestry. It depends on the region and its specific history in terms of slavery/immigration/colonization. For example, in the Caribbean they brought more African slaves than in Mexico so now, Cuba, PR, DR, and Haitian have a higher population of people with African ancestry than Mexico. 

Latine is an ethnicity and not a race. There are white Latines like Anya Taylor-Joy, Cameron Diaz, Bella Thorne. etc. Oscar is almost certainly not one of them. The people who call Oscar Isaac white/white-passing are the same people who call Alexa Demi, Aubrey Plaza, Selena, etc. white/white-passing. Yes, all these people have European ancestry(based on appearance) but not exclusively. Calling them white erases their indigenous/African/other heritage. Not to be controversial but I honestly only think that people call celebrities like Oscar Isaac, Alexa Demi, etc. white is because they’re conventionally attractive and meet the European standard of beauty. That and the appropriation of black/indigenous physical features and fashion/culture by white celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Ariana Grande. Latines with their normal natural features don’t look like Jenner or Grande, they look like us because they paid to look like us.
