Shit I Keep Seeing on Instagram & Twitter That Needs to Quit
Can we talk about this load of bullshit? I keep seeing this picture comparison on instagram with tons of likes and terrible comments.
First off, the first picture of Selena is whitened out to shit and her eye color even looks altered. Please, do yourself a favor and look at what Selena looked like without bright studio lights and no whitening filters of today:
Second of all, there are more than two types of latina’s and ALL are beautiful in their very own ways.
This is just such a clear representation of the eurocentric beauty ideals we see all over the world. This is especially seen in our communities where the lighter (closer to white ideals) skin and facial features are the more “beautiful” someone is seen.
Indigenous features and darker richer brown skin is not ugly. This should not be seen as ugly in comparison to a lighter skinned latina.
I also have to point out the fact that Selena did not have perfect eyebrows magically, that ish takes good waxing and her hair also takes a lot of grooming.
Grooming and makeup aside, she is and will always be super gorgeous. Duh, we know this.
Yet, I’m tired of this. It’s the same crap I see over and over. Eurocentric facial features and whiter/lighter skin are not more beautiful.
This is the same reason I don’t watch much telemundo because I’m tired of this being slammed in my face. I’m also disgusted by the latin@s who agree with this and repost it.
Many of you come from indigenous folks, many of you have family members who look like “that” type of latina and you can go eat a rotten white bread mayonnaise sandwich if you perpetuate this bullshit.
Kiss my brown ass.
Yes this is perfect. Those idiots don't know how Latinos look like. And I hate that of telemundo , I didn't know that is a thing. Really disappointed.
