as a mexican, it genuinely hurts to see racism towards us be so normalized. if you are not mexican, please stop doing these things: (a thread)
-stop saying “beaner”
you canNOT say beaner if you are not mexican because it is used to mock us and stereotype us for being “bean eaters”.

-stop using the “cholo” accent
i don’t give a flying fuck if it sounds funny to you. this accent is another way that is is used often to mock us for not speaking english “correctly”

-don’t be upset about a spanish stream
look this one is just stupid. every single fucking stream is in english, and getting upset over ONE stream that isn’t english is just selfish. these streams are a big comfort for us spanish speakers as there isnt much representation +

+ for us, and having someone that speaks the language feels great.
im not gonna speak on the subject of artists drawing skin tones inaccurately because that has been spoken about a lot by now and should be common sense. if you draw skin tones incorrectly, i hope you know how damaging it can be.
this thread was to educate on what not to do if you are not mexican. i don’t speak on behalf of every mexican but please keep in mind that a majority of us find these things really offensive to us. and to my fellow mexicans, please lmk if i missed anything!
priv qrts show yourself cmon dont be a pussy
muting this now!
i also wanted to add onto this that some of this also applies to other hispanics and latinos, not just mexicans!!
also if you have any questions, this thread answers a lot of them really well!! https://twitter.com/id0lmaster/status/1359688432734339072
i also wanted to say that yes i know i worded some of these things wrong and this is not to take away from any other racism happening because racism in general is a big problem, i made this thread because people in the minecraft community were doing these things +
+ as if it were normal and not knowing how disrespectful it can be. again this thread was not made to take light away from all other injustices.
