its a very uncomfortable situation as a brown, non-binary, openly? queer latinx person. wielding this identity as some sort of cash grab is honestly cruel, ESPECIALLY because so many of us have had to hide/water down our identities because of systemic and institutional racism that impacted us and our families. and this isn’t the first or last time white people will co-opt our identities! thats the most upsetting part tbh.

taylor barton, i hope u and your ilk rot in hell.
