Women in the pics: (clockwise) Daniele Suzuki-Japanese-Brazilian, Dascha Polanco-Dominican American, Gloria "Goyo" Martinez of Chocquibtown -Afro-Colombian and Joanna Hausmann- Venezuelan. Proof that there is no such thing as "Latina"features. Mini rant: Have been reading a lot a books that center on or have Latina characters but almost always they are the stereotype of what #Latinas look like. Tan skin, corkscrew curly hair, "exotic". First off, people being described as exotic is disgusting. Writers should really consider using it unless they're talking about a rug or a plant. And second, all Latinas do not fit the jlo stereotype mold. We come Black, we come Asian, we come white(and yes you can be a white Latina. Ppl think that by being Latina you're suddenly not white) and we come indigenous. So please tell me why no one wants to challenge the idea? I've read just 3 books total in my lifetime that centered on an Afrolatina and I want to read more. Writer friends, please do better!

Forget “strong female character.” Aim for: “Woman or girl with agency.” One who makes decisions, affects the story, pushes the plot. –– Chuck Wendig

Huhhhh just why

‘The Ellen Show’ seems to think black women’s bodies are hilarious 

On Monday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen introduced what she called a “very exclusive sneak peek” of Nicki Minaj’s upcoming ABC Family sitcom based on her childhood. As the clip concluded, DeGeneres said, “They have big butts. That’s the joke.“ The entire affair, which veers into minstrel territory, played into the belittling many have tried before.

If y’all really want to go there, we can. Let’s talk about Black women and stereotypes. Angry Black women? Dark skin. Hoodrats? Dark skin. Babymamas (although no one wants to have kids with us) Dark skin. Welfare and crackheads? Dark skin. Crazy exes? Dark skin. Unsuccessful? Dark skin.

Wives? Light skin. High school crushes? Light skin. Love interests in almost every movie made after 2002? Light skin. Signs a Black man is winning in life? His girl/wife is White or LIGHTSKIN. The only kind of Black woman acceptable to be seen with as a rich Black man? Light skin.

If y’all want to fucking go here, we can. Everything from classic movies to current rap hits tell the Black boys that a lightskinned woman is worth loving. Every chance a rapper gets, he let’s it be known that lightskinned women are the prize. 

Are White people racist? Absolutely but guess what, they still going to pick you over me ANY DAY. So all those internships, jobs, promotions and credits you had to fight for, believe me, there was a dark skin girl fighting harder. Dark skin women been fighting so long, y’all forgot that Claudette the original DARK SKIN woman who refused her seat on an Alabama bus had to watch YOUR GRANDPARENTS AND UNCLES recreate it with a light skinned Black woman so it would be received. Y’all better miss me with the bullshit.
