Like yes, I know, you can't put every combination in the video because of limited time, but like... you also can't just erase them?????????
@guerrillarain I've had to "learn" this particular racism. And I hate it! I swear I didn't use to notice when black people were holding hands with white people in public! But now I look at it and think, "aw, look at that, despite everything, they're dating!"
I wish I could go back to not noticing that, to think nothing of it.
I hate that I know what "reverse interracial" means. 😟
@guerrillarain And yeah, ads about "interracial" dating that always feature a white person are an extension of this weird, concern about the sexual purity of the white "race".
What I'm trying to say, I think, is that this concern with "interracial", the very phrase itself, is framing the parameters from a white point of view and their historical anxiety of experiencing a sexual invasion that they've inflicted on others.
@guerrillarain Oh, one more thing. I should be more fair in Mexico's situation. I don't know much about Afro-Mexicans. I'm sure they experience a particular kind of racism but like other kinds of Mexican racism, it's almost never acknowledged. For example, there's a widely-loved a traditional Mexican comic, still in print, about a pickaninny and other racist stereotypes Mexicans probably learned from Hollywood.
(I'm now reading the Spanish and English Wikipedia articles on Afro-Mexicans.)
@guerrillarain While we have tons of problems with racism in Mexico (of the worst kind, invisible racism that nobody even notices is racism), we don't have *this* particular kind of racism mostly because we have very few black people.
I used to be baffled by the concern that black men would get with white women. I didn't understand why black men would get executed or lynched for "the usual crime" that papers wouldn't even mention because everyone knew what they meant.
