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
― iatee, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:39 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:42 (eleven years ago) link
I think it is quite different!
― iatee, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:43 (eleven years ago) link
i consider portuguese people white for sure
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:44 (eleven years ago) link
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

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

i def always thought of lag∞n as portuguese or at least galician, he has that sense of saudade about him
― Ms Tum-Bla-Wi-Tee (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:55 (eleven years ago) link
he is swarthy
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:55 (eleven years ago) link
"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
― Ms Tum-Bla-Wi-Tee (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:56 (eleven years ago) link
lol u guys
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:56 (eleven years ago) link
for some reason I associate 'swarthy' with being 'hairy' and barrle chested
― dayo, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:57 (eleven years ago) link
I would say I'm swarthy then

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

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