So I got into an argument with possibly the most ignorant, arrogant, irrational person on this planet. It started out when we were talking about this whole Tiger Woods incident and he said that he has a friend who looks like Tiger Woods. And we were distinguishing friends that look like different celebs and he said I look like Christina Milian (REALLY?! man plz! christina milian... pfft...) and I was like "yea right. that's probably just because we're both black latinas" and this jigga boo bugged the freak out and was like "SCOFF! LATINAS CAN'T BE BLACK!" I was like... what.... are you serious?HOW?? How can someone possibly believe that multiracial and biracial people don't exist?! There's no such thing as a black latina? really? So I don't exist now? Are you serious??? I'm still trying to get over this.

Agitated! What? I don't exist?

Don't worry about it. He's obviously just an ignorant/arrogant fuck.
-
some people are fucking challenged. dont mind them.
-
Yep I totally agree, but maybe he's just never met one before. I have never met/seen a African American Asian person before…
-
ha! I have a Taiwanese friend from South Africa lol

No you would be malotto. -
oh silly, a mulato is a horse-donkey
I want to be a black-white
Right now I'm just a British-Canadianyes, you're no one without a hyphen! That's why all the black people became African-Americans (my Caribbean-Canadian neighbour is highly confused)
wait, my family is from Northumberland and a few generations back, one branch of the tree were Huguenots. I'm White-French-Northumbrian-British-Canadian (should I include Earthling?)

sorry, but this whimsical scene from Domino just reminded me of this threadLateesha Rodriguez: Now, as a blactino woman, I believe we deserve our own race category to forge an identity, Jerry. That's how I feel. Jerry Springer: Did you just say "blactino"? Lateesha Rodriguez: Yes, I did. I'm a blactino-American. Chinegro Woman: Wow. Uh, first of all... first of all, you don't even look latino. You look black. You're... You're black. Second of all, I'm of mixed race, and I've struggled my whole life as to whether I'm Chinese or whether I'm black. Lateesha Rodriguez: Chinegro! What you are is chinegro! Chinegro Woman: Chinegro? Lateesha Rodriguez: Chinegro! There you go! Chinegro Woman: Chinegro? Lateesha Rodriguez: You are a chinegro! Chinegro Woman: What the [bleep] Chinegro Woman: is chinegro? Lateesha Rodriguez: That's what you are! Chinegro is you! Chinegro Woman: That's some bulls... [bleep] Chinegro Woman: . Jerry Springer: OK, as I understand it, you brought a mixed-race flow chart with you. Why don't we bring that out? [Crowd shouting and booing] Lateesha Rodriguez: [to a random heckler] How you doin', sugar? All right. I'm gonna call you later. Mwah. All right. [Crowd laughs] Lateesha Rodriguez: Take a look at this... [she unveils the chart] Lateesha Rodriguez: Blactino, blackasian, hispasian, OK? Now, for the Asian subcategories, [to the Chinegro woman] Lateesha Rodriguez: I got you, sister. We have chinegro right here. That's you. Chinegro. Chinegro Woman: That's not a word! That's not a word! Lateesha Rodriguez: Yes, it is, sister. We have koreagro. Japegro, OK? [Crowd laughs] Lateesha Rodriguez: Chispanic, koreaspanic, and last but not least, check this out, y'all... japanic. [Crowd cheering] Lateesha Rodriguez: That's how I flow with it! Jerry Springer: Do you believe the government should recognise these racial subgroups? Lateesha Rodriguez: Yes, Jerry, I do.
