Speaking as a fellow oppressed Latinx...

(I'm Italian-American, the OG Latinxes...shout out to my paisan Rick Caruso!)

Maybe the oddest thing to me as a swarthy sweaty ethnic is the level of crippling neurotic guilt white liberals have, their reflexive self-abasement anytime someone w a darker skin tone makes any kind of claim or demand.

I find it endlessly perplexing:

Is it just atavistic Protestantism? Is it because they're Patient Zero of the global corporate state and are earth's first totally deracinated humans? (If there's one thing I've grown to appreciate as a sweaty ethnic living thru liquid modernity it's my strong family and cultural roots...so there was something good about spending half my life sitting thru baptisms, weddings and communions? who knew!)

Or is it just after 50yrs of white-guilt porn blaring out of every loudspeaker that they've been totally beaten down by guilt & shame? (Slave morality for the win!)

Is it the desperate need to be seen as opposite to the Deplorables, even to the point of denouncing and renouncing your entire history and tradition?

Has a nation/tribe/people ever atoned themselves out of existence before?

But hey, as white liberals go quietly and obediently to their gelding, me and my tribe will be ovaa heeaa eating macaroni and watching the Sopranos.

Pass the gravy!
