“Asian. Black. Hispanic. White. Long ago, the four races lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the White Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four races, could stop them, but when the world needed them most, they vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, a White Girl named Ariana. And although her singing skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she’s ready to save anyone. But I believe Ariana can save the world.”
Can someone tell me the difference between Hispanic and White? I’m not American
Concisely? No.
The USA was mostly colonized by Germans, Irish, and English. So skin tones are usually much lighter.
Central and South America had a larger indigenous population, and the Spanish/Portuguese colonizers had a bit darker skin, with much more frequent inter racial relationships.
However, the region in question is fucking huge. Don’t expect Mexicans, Columbians, Argentinians to all look the same.
Really Hispanic is more of a cultural category for all things with Spanish Legacy.
Would you consider a latino + white couple an interracial couple? The categories to select from are white, Asian, and black - after that there’s typically a question to identify if a person is Hispanic.
White and black is just a product of the USA slave system.
In Spanish territory they had:
- Peninsulares (Spaniards born in Spain)
- Creoles (born in New Spain of Spanish parents)
- Mestizos (born of Spanish and Indigenous Peoples parents)
- Indigenous Peoples
- Enslaved persons (brought from Africa and the Caribbean)
What is considered in a race changes over time. Hell, at times Jews and Irish weren’t considered white. Just dirty “others”. It’s only when the top caste hold on things is challenged do they let others join the ruling group.
Hispanic refers to a person with a mix of native American and Spanish heritage created when the Spaniards conquered Latin America.
White generally just refers to a caucasian-looking person.
Aryana*
Can someone explain this to me? I’m out of the loop when it comes to mainstream social media, and I suspect that’s what this is about…
Ariana is infamous for blackfishing. When she played pretend as a black person it was profitable for her to be a “baddie” + rap/trap infused pop music was in (see a pic of her from 2018). When she was cast for Wicked she decided that to be taken seriously as a “prestige” actress she had to transition back to being a white person (see pics of her from 2025).
Damn. Beginning to think race might be some kind of socio-economic construct used to mystify material conditions of the proletariat.
Isn’t she just…Italian?
no, she’s a Starbucks blonde frappé with soy milk.
Thank you very much for the explanation :)
if you wanna have a laugh watch this clip of her current (white) self interviewing her past (black) self: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/EgYlEC5UemE
the blackfishing is so blatant & it’s not just the appearance
Can she not read?
That’s just sad
What happened?
Oh she stopped using lip filler https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/13/style/ariana-grande-lip-filler-botox-vogue/index.html
I always thought she looked kind of off. Now I know it’s the bleached skin.
it’s the other way around actually…
You gotta teach me some of your shitposting skills
