Being a black person in/from the global south is like having a special invisibility cloak that works in [specially online] discourse where people seem to act like these two identities you have don't coexist, OR people who aren't both speak about you like you're not online and can't speak for yourself. Specially when it comes to discussions about/involving Latin America.

There was some complaint on YouTube that Miles looked “too Black” and not at all Latino and I got news for you kiddos, you can be mixed and not look mixed. And I know this because I’m mixed. My father is Filipino, my mother is Black. Her mother descended from enslaved Africans and his mother descended from people who immigrated from the Philippines. By the logic of the poster, I should look “Filipino” and I have to say - I don’t. If a stranger on the street passed me they’d probably assume I came from two Black parents. My point here is: it’s stupid to say Miles doesn’t look Latino enough.

The Underground Railroad ran south as well as north. For slaves in Texas, refuge in Canada must have seemed impossibly far away. Fortunately, slavery was also illegal in Mexico. Researchers estimate 5,000 to 10,000 people escaped from bondage into Mexico, says Maria Hammack, who is writing her dissertation about this topic at the University of Texas at Austin. But she thinks the actual number could be even higher.
