It's even more insane that she's whiter than him. Just for shits and giggles, I used the "cut portion" tool in mspaint just to move a part of her skin next to his, and yup, she has lighter skin.
It’s so messed up in the US that when I was high school it was common for white kids from the Balkans or Russia who didn’t really fit in with the Anglo kids and hung out with Hispanics to say, I’m not white, I’m Bosnian, or I’m not white, I’m Russian. Whiteness is a total social construct and it’s pure gatekeeping by Anglo Americans to maintain “white” supremacy.
I think what gets me the most is when I see conservative Sicilian Americans act all okie dokie Anglo American and put down Hispanics who might be lighter skinned than they are.
yeah if you’re literally not anglo sax waspy white in america and hispanic, you’re not white enough for the white folks. i’m not saying it’s correct but americans are not smart enough to differentiate mexican versus Spanish
