Just Another Enby Boy

It needs repeating that Latino is not a race. It's a geographic, cultural, linguistic and politically relevant term for people from Mexico to Argentina, NOT a phenotype or a racialization. Black latinos like Amara la Negra exist, white latinos like José Antonio Kast exist, indigenous latinos like Rigoberta Menchú exist, Asian latinos like Keiko Fujimori exist.

Each country has its own race dynamics and applying the POC label to white latinos like myself who never had to endure systemic racism is both inaccurate and wrong. You may see Latinos who look stereotypically Spanish like Sofía Vergara, Guillermo del Toro and Rachel Zegler and count them as diversity in media, and that's okay if your criteria is culture, but NOT if it's racial diversity. These 3 people could be classified as POC in rural America, but none of them were racialized as POC back home. They are white people, white latinos, and that matters because we NEVER hear from Latinos of other backgrounds.

Afrolatinos have just gotten some attention in the past few years, Indigenous latinos are STILL fighting to preserve their languages, land, religion and other traditions, Asian latinos are literally never brought up at all despite having huge communities in Perú, Chile and Brazil.

It's always possible a Latino is white passing, but some latinos are JUST white. Don't count media as diverse just because it has white latinos in it, we have enough of that already.
