Trust me, it's not as easy as it looks! It takes practice.

As a Latino I felt latinas got more attention than the Men which is understandable but I rarely see posts for latinx people in general. Glad someone started this thread and I’d love to befriend, chat or chill with any latinx folk from the thread

I would agree with that. I feel I am sometimes more accepted in certain mostly White social circles than a Latino man would be. I can't even begin to tell you how many times a man of Mexican or other Latin heritage has told me to my face that I have "no idea what racism is" because I'm a woman. For the record, I TOTALLY know what racism is and I have been the victim of it too. (my nickname all thru grade school and high school was StringBean). But, I will concede that Mexican/Latin heritage men probably do bump up against racists and racists situations more than I do. Part of the reason for that is probably because I'm a woman and also because I'm only half Mexican.

You're welcome btw

As a man of Mexican descent I can confirm this is true. I have had plenty of past run ins with racism myself unfortunately. I’ve got some friends from other Latino groups as well such as Puerto Ricans and Central Americans and they tell me similar stories.

you. But you already know that don't you?"

Since it looks nearly impossible, if it's harder to do than that, ouch

String bean??? A high school friend of mine was called that for what I assume the same reason you were, you are quite tall and thin, as is she (Irish American in Boston).

Yep. And brown too.

I think of them as green. Is that a common thing someone of Latin heritage is called?

Beaner is very common. At least here in Las Vegas and southern California. It started out as StringBeaner and got shortened to StringBean.

I can't believe I'm talking about this. This was majorly traumatic for me when I was younger and talking about it reopens the scars.

It does not matter if it is something you face every day, or once or twice a year. Racism is complete bullshit and no one should ever have to deal with it, ever.

I'm sorry you have wounds from this Liz. I hope you get big warm hugs from someone who loves you.

Liz very sorry, I didn't mean to pick at scars.

ok i'm gonna chime in on this one here. and Liz, we are friends, and that of a deeper sense of the statement.
and for that read this, NO not sex friends. but real real a friend.
but being called a name is not racism. it is bullying, or being pick on, or even a nickname of sorts.
and you kno what. for that some would even stand up or sheild you.
I am a Negro, a Black Man , a American Negro or Afro-American. Racism is, when a difference is made based on the ( this matter ) the color of ones skin, where they are from, the shape of their eyes. and a amany other silly things.
it is when they make laws, call it right. to treat such person in a cruel manner. they feel and live as less than.
when they are kept under the heel of so called ' better than you ' people. and true it reaches and yet touches many people of color today. saddly. and yes, Brothers, Men of color. we need to call it when it happens. stand up for you, and who you are. so that our children can not have to live under such . but you have to make a call on.

You're right. Even though I was one of the only Brown kids in school (for a time) the name calling and social exclusions were maybe more about bullying than racism. At least for some of the other kids because like someone else pointed out on here, the image of a "stringbean" evokes the color green, not brown. Some of the kids were calling me a Beaner (which I would argue IS racist) but others may have just been immature and insensitive and simply went along with using the nickname in reference to my height and the fact that I was skinny and that I was sort of a loner (though not by choice).

My mother told me at one point it may have also been because I was a pretty good athlete growing up. Better than most if not all the boys in volleyball and in tennis. (I won several tennis tournaments and my coaches had me on track to start competing nationally before I blew out both my knees) That didn't give me much comfort at the time because like all kids I wanted to be liked and accepted by other kids. But as I matured, those words made a lot of sense to me and they did end up giving me some comfort. At least they helped me understand what might have been the underlying motivation for some of the name calling - jealousy. It blew my mind that some kids might be jealous of me. But I've bumped up against jealousy (and racism) several times in my life since then so I have just learned to forgive, let go and move on.

I wonder how many criminals just walk up to her and turn themselves in.
I know I probably would if I was one.

No way that bitch has to catch me!!
