Don't forget Snow White who looks like a white person but is mixed-race white and Latina, so she isn't white enough to play Snow White.
And also don't forget the very light-skinned black woman who couldn't play Cleopatra because Cleopatra wasn't black. (How do we know? We don't? Cool. Cool cool cool.)
"latina/o" is not a race aso yeah, that doesn't make sense.
There's no race in current humanity, it's a cultual thing with no scientific backing so you can make whatever you want like the USA administration did for their convenience.
I think a lot of la Raza would disagree with you there.
You do realize that that is mainly from a USA point of of view and mostly directed towards mexico, right? So this isnt't only kinda xenophobic but you're basically telling me I should consider myself a different race because random yankees think I am? Yeah, no thanks. The country you were born in does not determine your race.
Race doesn't really exist*. No one can tell you you're a race you don't think you are
*I mean it exists, but it's a social construct that only has any meaning because we give it meaning culturally. Any person with a particular racial identity, in a different cultural context, could have a different racial identity. Would have a different racial identity, most likely. But that doesn't mean the concept is meaningless, just that its meaning is derived from its use, rather than the other way around.
You do know that there is no scientific definition of race, right?
Also, she's from the U.S., so...
Who is "she"? The acress in the live action mermaid movie? I literally never talked about her, so...
No, the actress in Snow White. The one I called mixed-race. And then you said that she wasn't mixed-race because Latina isn't a race. Caught up now?
