So I am Latina and I understand the turmoil white people and Europeans have cause for minorities. But I don't quite understand how minorities stating that they hate white people and calling them "mayo" makes us any better than oppressors of the past. I also see how many white people today are still ignorant of our suffering but I can't help but feel that some of these race blogs are overly aggressive? I was hoping you could expand on this perspective so I could better understand. Love the blog! Asked by Anonymous

Normally I would ignore these messages, but I’m going to say something real quick for future reference.

It doesn’t matter what we say, we can call someone a gringo MacCracker on white bread, and we will always be better than our oppressors of the past, simply because, we are not committing genocide, participating in slavery, and violently colonizing anyone. Not only are we not doing that, but expressing anger and frustration towards oppressors using words doesn’t even uphold any of those oppressive and dangerous ideals.

So please stop using this weird, false and quite frankly, offensive equivalency.
