You know, I was raised a Catholic through no choice of my own, but I was never part of the faith and I quickly abandoned …
I’m half Ecuadorian (mostly Spanish, some possible Indian blood that’s dismissed and–if it is present–hasn’t shown up in the 500 years my family’s lived there) and half German-Irish-English. People think I’m either Black Irish or Greek or white. It’s weird how they just assign a random culture to you, isn’t it? Or do they think you’re Turkish because you live in Amsterdam and Turkish ancestry is more common there than Spanish ancestry?

Don’t write shit like this it is terrible and not funny.
Really?! I am being racist towards what? Myself?! You are going to police how I make fun of my own Latinidad? You are going to …
My rage of the day (I know I am captain obvious, but it’s partially induced by news items that pop on my dash)
