colombianafuriosa:

it’s a trash word with no real meaning besides a white american way of generalizing spanish speaking people but actually means SPANISH people

throw it out of your mental dictionary. immediately. it is naming us after our colonizers. 

and especially if you KNOW a latinx person’s nationality you should probably always refer to them as that. for example, i am latina but i am colombian and salvadorian above all else. 

i wish this post had as much traction as that inaccurate post of definitions written by a non latinx that i keep seeing on my dash
