whiteness

Whitexicans are thought of as a big joke in Mexico, from their accents to the way they dress (usually wearing a “Mexico is the s—” bomber jacket).

What makes someone “white” in the United States? Is it a lack of spice tolerance? Raisins in potato salad? Shish kebabs and baba ghanoush?

I remember my first Pride, and what it meant to me. But I am not nostalgic for it. I don't want it again. I don't have anything to mourn with its loss.

All I want for Christmas is to stop being asked what I am. As someone of multiracial heritage, navigating the concept of “otherness” prevents me from fully immersing myself in the festivities and experiences of my cultures.

Performative allyship has plagued progressive movements for decades by detracting from marginalized voices and groups.

Colorism is very real in the Chicanx/Latinx community.
