Why is it that whenever a Latinx disagrees with you re: your Chris Pratt post, you tell them they must have some time of internalized racism? It really seems like you're presuming you know what's going on in their own heads better than they do. Plus, it carries the assumption that there's only one "right" opinion all Latinxs must have, which feeds into the notion that all Latinxs are a monolith.
TBH I’m not trying to feed into the notion that all latinx are monolith but I know from my own experiences trying to dig out my own internalized racism they sound alot like people I know. At some point you gotta make a choice about what’s more important, respectability politics or advancing your community w/r/t representation and self respect.
Part of the reason I’m talking about internalized racism is because we’re talking about a film set in Costa Rica (which not only has intense anti-blackness irl but is a very important example of being environmentally aware) that literally has no positive roles for latinx. And to choose to be angry at me for pointing out that JW featured a white man with a fake tan was more important than for them to even attempt to see my point indicates to me that they didn’t even try to see my point. It points to respectability politics/internalized racism.
I’ve had lots of experience with talking to PoC about internalized isms and this is how I always deal with it now. Life is too short to do otherwise.
