High school senior Elaine Vilorio wrote that she started seriously contemplating her blackness when she stopped straightening her hair.
Elaine Vilorio A lot of teens ask themselves, "What am I?" For multiracial teens, the answer gets especially complicated.
It's something that Elaine Vilorio has thought about a lot. She's a high school senior, originally from the Dominican Republic. Over the course of her life, people assumed that she was black, and that bothered her. But two years ago, after she stopped chemically straightening her hair, the change in her appearance made her rethink her roots. She wrote about this in a Huffington Post piece titled "Coming Out As Black," and talked about it Thursday on Tell Me More with guest host Celeste Headlee. You can read the full transcript of the interview here. Highlights from the exchange are below.
-
I'm coming out as black too. I'm here, live in fear, make sure my welfare check clears. When did I become 3333?
-
She's hideous regardless

but maybe she's got a hot round bubble ass

Ugly girls with a hot ass is very common in latinas. (no pedo)

Dominicans, the black people who don't like to call themselves black.
And this is apparently a growing trend in Brazil, for kids going to college.
-
dominicans are not 100% black obviously... all kind of mixes. black, hispanic, White etc.. all kinds.. some look more black than others.

Not uncommon for people that look too "ethnic" around the world to wanna be more white. Imagine being just another black guy in Africa or a chinese guy in china :(
Look at that chinese chick turning herself into a dumb caucasian blonde, black women using skin lightning products, women dying their hair lighter colours....etc.
Many people in Latin America would prefer being white cause if you look too indigenous or black chances are you're probably from a lower class and will get treated as such. Things change when these people move to places like the States....like that "brown pride" mexican stuff?? what the hell is that really :-\
Pretty sure they'd laugh at them in mexico for that...
-
If you're going to bore people with your racial identity crisis then you better be smokin'. She isn't. Would excuse myself to the restroom and never return.

Here's More of the Interview Highlights On the difference between US and Dominican perceptions of identity:
"When I came here ... I was really, really small. I never had gotten the question of what I was. I never really understood what that was. So when I encountered other kids who had grown up here more than I had, and they asked me ... what was I. And I was a little confused. I was like, "Well, I'm from the Dominican Republic," you know. They always said, Oh, well, you know, I thought you were black. And I had never gotten that.
[For] Dominican kids, it's always ... You're Dominican. So national identity was placed above racial identity, whereas here I found that racial identity was pinpointed first.
On 'black-on-black' racism:
I've seen ... Afro-Latinos, to use that phrase — Latinos who have obvious Afro-descendency — separate themselves from blacks by putting them off ... using stereotypes, like, Oh my goodness, they're so uneducated and blah blah blah. And I've always thought, "Well, you look like 'them.' And they're referring to ... American blacks. And I'm just thinking, So you look like them, you're putting these people in, you know, this category, but what about you? And that's always been something that's bothered me.
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

On being 'racially black and culturally Hispanic':
I still identify strongly as a Hispanic because, you know, that is my culture. My parents raised me and the values that they grew up with. And then also I had, ... growing up in America and in the American school system so I had ... that bi-cultural influence. But racially I'm black, you know. I can say that I'm black and being black and being Hispanic, Hispanic being a culture and black ... being associated with a culture, yes, but also with a race. You can be racially black and you can be culturally Hispanic and that was something that I wanted to combine, that I want to explore further and talk about more.
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sure, totally. I'll brb. If the waiter comes, order me the lobster.
-
This is how it work in the US, If youre a white latino , youre not white, you are latino.......But If you're a black latino ...
You better walk,dress and talk like a black dude cause youre BLACK bro' just like (Victor Martinez)
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ......

Looks like a bag of smashed assholes.
-

No, but it's a refreshing revelation to her. She just had to get it off her chest. Remember we are in a time of "I'm all important".
Aesop's The Gnat and The Bull doesn't apply here.

We got some places like that here in puerto rico... and then its funny because the city im in (Hatillo) has this super model Joan Smalls....she is a black puerto rican... they all claim her and the baseball players..
There are actually whole cities here that are all black

Euphemism employed in the English language meaning: Not Caucasian. Next time run a Google search, dipshit.

Comes out as butt fucking ugly......
-
I'm tired of people and they're constant need to "self identify". I'm black, I'm gay, I'm conservative, I'm.....
Christ almighty....who the fuck cares what label you attach to yourself?! Just be a damn 'human being' and get on with doing something productive with your short life....

Just keeping it "Real" 8)

I love fry chicken and my dick is big is that enough to make me black.

If these dumb fucks knew anything about history, they'd know during the transatlantic slave trade led by the so called jews, as they were dropping off so called blacks in various countries and they mixed, this is what brought these other races. So yes asshats you are indeed black. Just mixed with Spanish or whatever form of s**c available. While we got mixed with white. You don't see American Negroes (Hebrews) walking around denying their blackness and saying "oh I'm not black, I'm white". lol

LOL! Dominicans are special breed. There are more negros on that half of the island per 100,000 than in Salvador Da Bahia, but you can't tell them that. They even throw better block parties than Brasilians serve up hot dogs and beer in favelas. So, we'll keep believing Brasil has the most Afro residents outside of Nigeria.

yes but in her case every time she says she's Dominican the Americanos would go "Oh, I thought you were black " It happened a lot to Red Sox slugger David Ortiz who's probably darker than you ,in his early years people would talk to him and he'd be like "sorry me no English" . and the reaction would be Oh, I thought you were black, my bad'.
So it can be a pain in the ass.

I think American blacks have more hate towards whitey. But even though the resentment is there you see black women wearing weaves, spending hours and money straightening their hair and using skin lightening products. Reminds me of the rick james skit on the dave chappelle show where teased charlie and eddie murphy by calling them darkness brothers.

darker skin has never been liked in any culture
it usually means you work in the sun all day labouring and even muscles is seen as a lower class trait
there was a study done that the most desired skin colour was yellowish bronze with a tint of red

And this is apparently a growing trend in Brazil, for kids going to college.
When I went to Brazil, a woman told me that many black-appearing brazilian folks claim to not be black because simply because brazilians don't subscribe to the American "One drop" notion whereby having a "drop" of black blood means you are considered black. In retrospect it seems reasonable though I was dubious at the time since she was claiming to not be black when she was the spitting image of of a female Denzel Washington. (She wasn't happy about that comparison either, lol.)

In the USA and in Brazil, tanned skin is generally considered more desirable than white skin. In both of these relatively advanced countries it still comes down to perceived class; They just assume that a tanned person has enough money to lounge around the beach/pool and doesn't need to work at all.
This is in start contrast to what they think in Asian countries; In Thailand, for example, Thai people go the beach in long pants and longsleeve shirts and your average drugstore (like Robinson's) has a whole aisle dedicated to skin whitening products. I like to fuck with my male Thai inlaws who insist that whiter girls are more beautiful. I ask them, "White? Like the belly of a fish?" hehehe (Thai people totally get the idea of teasing, btw.)

How about if you're a black latino born and raised in the U.S, no ties to your parent's place of birth, can't speak any spanish and hang out with blacks. Do you then forfeit the "latino" and just become another ni66a?

People that need to exclaim their 'pride' for something is usually bothered by it in the first place. If you're completely happy with yourself you won't go out of the way to try and matter.

I don't understand how anyone would be overly proud of being a certain color. Whether or not someone of a similar color has achieve greatness does not reflect on that person at all. At the same time they seldom feel inclined to own the negative aspects of their color/culture.
