I'm perched. Although I'm not looking forward to this thread, I always get lost. 1 minute and I have to sort through 5 extra pages. You guys have no chill.
Something similar happened in Mexico when Spanish colonizers came here. It was called the "castas" system. Of course indigenous people and black slaves were at the bottom of the totem pole. The ones at the top were European whites, but even whites born in the Americas were considered to have less rights; they were called "criollos", and many of them started the Independence war. Then there's the "mestizos" who are people with European and Indigenous ancestry. However, this system was shunned a long, long time ago, and our census doesn't even ask about race. Most of us identify ourselves as "mestizos", even people who are very dark skinned and people white with blue eyes because we all assume we must have some indigenous blood in us. I never understood Hispanic White, tbh.
This is also where "cholo" comes from. It was later reclaimed by Mexicans in the US but it makes me cringe when non-Latinos use it, so I get why these HGs shouldn't be using these terms.
I'm here for Jackie going from pawn to kween and taking out some of these guys.

Yeah, but "cholo" is more lifestyle than racist nowadays. I've lived in Mexico my whole life and I've never heard anyone from another nationality use it. I guess that's why I don't understand many of these things, but I sure as hell want to know about them. Thanks for the info.
i strongly dislike jace but i would rather someone that actually will do something to stay so im gonna hold out hope that jackie accidentally evicts herself
