I had 2 wait till the previous posting got up 4 an addendum
-I would like to clarify:The last posting was not meant to give guilt,white guilt or [x ethnicity] guilt of any other kind to anyone.I didn't mean to give any when I talked to my Race and ethnic dynamics teacher who actually IS 2nd generation Spanish (in the correct usage:ppl FROM Spain--->[*Europe*]) and out of the other few Hispanic sutdents there I actually told her around early on in before the 4th class about how I don't entertain my European background.
Oh but that doesn't mean I entertain my Aboriginal bkgrnd too much either.I did that for a little while when I was ~8ish when I learned how I was mestizo.El Salvador was never a hub for the more famous south of Aridoamerica Aboriginals like Incas,Mayans (a lil'bit in the West but barely nxt to the the main hub of Guatamala) or the Aztecs (only around for like ~3 centuries around present day Mexico City,really).Even though I am mestizo or even if I knew “how (much)” Aboriginal I was,I wouldn't be keen on glorifying that either.The history of mestizo's is seperate from either.
More importantly basking in the “glory” of something that I intrinsictly am and that was not “added to” by bits I worked to add it to,esp.something as abstract social construct with a tiny bit beyond nihl biological validity like “race” is something that ain't my style/doesn' roll with me.
-I don't have criticisms only toward White or Sinospheric culture.I have criticisms towards any majority culture.I can develop criticisms towards any majority culture.I can develop criticisms towards any culture.
This includes my own Hispanic culture,which is not as ubiquitous in Souther Ontario as say the Southwestern States but Heaven knows how I with enough exposure and experience contributing to an accumulation of information I would not be reluctant to express it as well.
There's a difference btw a critique and a criticism.Maybe the former is only reserved for artistic stuff.Maybe the latter is open to more negativity not exempting any aggression a person can feel with such sentimental negativity of quarelling and confrontation/aggression being not as common with critique.
That was not my intention/conceptual volition.It was another venting of mine from one of the most private parts of my mind,part that I'm not comfortable with myself for having nor espousing.Let that be assured b/c such a tone as the one I used is one reason I don't like such thoughts surface.I had to overcome my personal reluctance to let this tone be released if it meant I would no longer be procrastinating on letting my bias come out.
One think I'd like make clear:Stereotypes are NOT EQUAL to the personality of a person of that background.Friggin no Liebniz's law of identity of indiscernibles possible there but bad interpretations are.
I wouldn't like anymore of the chest-puffing .b.s. of one ethnicity saying there superior than another the same way I wouldn't like anymore of the chest-puffing .b.s. that is made up (ex.nationalism) to veil/say how plainly things s---k in a country which should be able to leave when it get's dangerous.
My apologies for which you are free to take your way and thank you for the avenue of utterance.
***Watching Elysium end right now...most of this msg was made yesterday when I worried the previous posting wouldn't go up(seriously)..don't ask me about how an overpopulated Earth divded btw poor on planet and rich in space with an Hispanic high .L.A. Resonates with me when I can also think about how the director of “District 9” is reusing a lot of his previous movies elements.
