This is the Latino antiblack RACIAL INNOCENCE Hernandez proves in her book. These “Latin American racial pathologies.” She shows how Latino communities use multiculturalism & imperialist histories to “exempt” themselves from how viciously antiblack they are here & in their countries. Like using The Myth of Mestizaje to pretend racism didn’t exist in LatAm while ACTIVELY subordinating black Latinos. It’s all bad-faith derangement. They don’t even read their own scholars When you hear the Latino illiterates say “race is American” just think of this book, read it, and remember they are demonstrably incorrect. It’s one of the slowest things they say like we don’t have a whole ARCHIVE of antiblack racial subordination to refer to
