XD

please don't jagger the naan mordy

i'm just really munchy

this whole encounter would have gone down differently in the southwest than in buffalo imo...all kinds of local demographics affect white people's assumptions about indeterminately-raced brown people. there weren't a lot of east indian americans in providence so when i lived there a significant number of white randoms would ask me if i was portuguese which to me was like ??? do i look white to you??? but i feel like portuguese whiteness was somehow not full whiteness in that region.

portuguese people are kinda dark!

everyone thought I was spanish when I lived in europe

the difference between white men and white men, i guess

portuguese people are dark like italians can be dark like greeks can be dark...i had always assumed those people turned white in comparison with me, but providence is different racially than other places in the u.s. i've lived.

lol xp

I get asked where I am from about ever two to three days

yes and i've also lived in providence, where there are a lot of portuguese americans. those people are still white though! i am interested in this "compromised" whiteness but i don't really get how it's different from a version of italian americanness, for example.

I think it is quite different!

i consider portuguese people white for sure

well there is 'white' the identity but does anyone think that a randomly selected italian person would have the same chance at being mistaken for mexican as a randomly selected portuguese person

what an unportuguese turn this conversation has taken

we'll need a control group

I mean cristiano ronaldo is straight up darker than most italian people I am not sure what the pc way to put that is but I think I am allowed it because I am more or less as dark as he is also as attractive

does anyone know a nine letter word for portuguese shish kabob

portuguese and spanish people can be wayyy darker than italians or greeks

this is only rly gitanos i think.....otherwise like calabrese ppl look a lot like andalucians &c

ronaldo is madeiran

quite possibly has noneuropean ancestry

when I get really tan in the summer some people think I'm thai \O_o/

I did not know he was made there

this is polemic

i tan v well i could be a portuguese when i tan, so i guess what im asking is am i down

i def always thought of lag∞n as portuguese or at least galician, he has that sense of saudade about him

he is swarthy

"swarthy" is a word i sometimes think about white people and then think "is this racist?"

if iatee is getting a fulbright grant to study the pigmentation of southern europe maybe he can start with lag∞n and understand what it means to have that fiery latin soul

lol u guys

for some reason I associate 'swarthy' with being 'hairy' and barrle chested

I would say I'm swarthy then

its a blessing and a curse tbqh

my dictionary says you can also be swart

anyway my scientific proof for spanish people being 'kinda not white but mostly white'
a. I'm kinda not white but mostly white
b. everyone thought I was spanish in europe

I'm swarter than you think I am

guys, a conversation about how delicious naan is would be much preferable to this one

so i googled iatees irl name trying to figure out his ethnicity and got

Anamezing meaning of [iatee]: Some say it's the name of an ancient Spanish robot.

there u have it

I thought everyone secretly accepted that spanish people were a little bit not white, which made their racism even sadder

didnt someone more or less prove the old rumour about torquemada being a converso?

this segues onto a whole intra-european racismism wherein english people say 'oh those italians are all fucking racists, the serbs are basically animals'

think s zizek has covered this

Spanish people are white right?
Spanish people are white right?but why do people not consider them white in my life ive seen many spanish people from (SPAIN)and they look european white ive seen some with blonde hair blue eyes brunette all kinds so why do american not consider them white are they just too ignorant and whats latino got to do with this topic they are just mixed spanish and aztec.since all western american countries think if u speak spanish or your from south america they will think ur spanish.. but they are not spanish..only (SOME OF THEM ARE MIXED SPANISH WITH SOME AZTEC OR MAYAN ANCESTERY)why are people so ignorant i am from spain my self and i once went to america and a guy asked me where i am from and i said spain and he was like stop lieing spanish people have brown skin and they look like mexicans..i was angry how ignorant people can be and the lack of easy knowledge for them to understand.
