I'm Latino too and honestly, there shouldn't be a problem if we decide to speak in whichever manner we want. The issue is that people turn it around and stereotype you to make you seem ignorant.

Ignorance is not limited to color or speech patterns, as clearly evidenced in this thread.

Well pointing it out is the first step

Idk why you get so bothered by people mentioning it, it sort of says something tbh :michael:

Nnn Ichi sis stop.

I'm black and even I'm bothered. I mean what exactly try can Dickard do other than acknowledge this issue exists? Let's be real here.

This can only be sorted by everyone doing something about it. It's a joint effort, this won't get sorted by having arguments on atrl

Like....what? Create a petition that gets enough signatures to be sent to higher ups in the government (aka white people

) Rally and protest...only to get arrested by white people?

The most we can do is spread AWARENESS about it and hopefully powerful WHITE people will recognize and try to help out. By spreading awareness, that means gasp, talking about it, mentioning it, bringing it up, discussing it. Which is what you're complaining about us doing?

They kill me

FAME.

omfg did you not just read my previous post that everyone has it hard? you sound ****ing ignorant. how about you actually READ what i write and COMPREHEND it before you just go off on a tangent. i said EVERYONE on this earth struggles. WE ALL need to do something about it. i wasn't saying that minorities alone need to do something about it. whites need to as well. it is a JOINT problem. damn. ****ing read next time

But the thing is...you're wrong. The fact that you're comparing the issues that people of color face to EVERYONE when there is literally NO ONE at as much of a disadvantage in society as people of color is ridiculous in itself.

Perhaps you need to read. Or better yet, comprehend that.

Ha! As a white passing gay in North America I can 100% tell you your statement is absolute ********. First off, you can hide your gayness. It's not right, it's not what you should do but you can do it. Black people do not even have that choice to begin with. And gays are not criminalized more, they are not denied employment or housing at the same level, they don't have to fear for their safety as much (the vast majority of murders against LGBT people are against NON-WHITE LGBT PEOPLE, specifically TRANS WOMEN OF COLOUR. This is a fact often overlooked by white gays).

And what about black gays? Gays are not just white people, despite what Glee and Modern Family might tell you.

White power!

In exactly what do they play victims ? This is racist if you point stereotypical behaviour just based on race. But you are racist based on your history here so I am not suprised.
