Professor says Latinos can ‘achieve whiteness’ and become racist
American Thinker ^ | Eric Utter

Posted on 10/21/2022 3:11:25 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

According to the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez, a Latina Democrat, recently referred to a councilman’s Black son as a “monkey”-- and also said in reference to liberal Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon, “he’s with the Blacks.”

This prompted MSNBC host Tiffany Cross to ask Fordham University law professor Tanya Hernández if making racist comments made a Latino white or just a racist racial minority. Hernández, a self-proclaimed “race law expert” with an interest in Critical Race Theory, replied:

“Well, I actually think that there is another layer to this. Some people within the Latino community do achieve whiteness, one, because they are white appearing, they favor more our European ancestors, and depending on their accent, their educational level, whether they actually have a recognizable Hispanic surname, that all those things that enable a person to, I wouldn’t call it passing, but seemingly—just-- and seamlessly being able to pass into whiteness, or white Anglo-whiteness, just as they have whiteness within Latin America and the Caribbean. Um, so, I guess what I want to say is that despite this idea of all Latinos being brown, you know, some browns are browner than others and some whites are whiter than others. There are Latinos who are white, whether they have that personal identity or not, that’s their socially ascribed race from others outside, and they get to move in that privilege as well.”

Latinos are incapable of exhibiting racist behavior unless and until they “achieve” whiteness? Say what?! Hernández sounded like a cross between Kamala Harris and a laundry detergent commercial. Some browns are browner than other browns and some whites are whiter than white?!

There are plenty of Hispanic immigrants in my neck of the woods and they are incredibly achievement-oriented. In fact, most of the manual labor in my town gets done by these guys.

For example, all the lawn care businesses in town are owned and "manned" by Hispanics. You can tell they are successful because they are driving newish, top-of-the-line trucks.

I am happy for them.

I guess this means that they are acting White.

Why wouldn’t they say this? They call blacks who achieve and who don’t adhere to the Democrat playbook ‘white’, or Oreo’s. It’s all part of the “Anyone who doesn’t think like me is bad” world view.

The most racist people are frequently dark skinned.

Take lots and lots of laxatives and before long whiteness is achieved.

Exactly.

My issue was not with Latinos can be racist.
Every ethnic group can be racist.

My issues was with the ProfessorIdiot singling out “whiteness”.......

There is a striking parallel between this idiot’s argument and Hitler’s argument that fine Aryans can be hopelessly contaminated by Judaism and it’s ideas such that they become Jews.

Hitler used it as a reason to send disagreeable Germans to death camps.

I’ll dust off the book, but the copy I have is in German.

One more anecdotal story on the success of Hispanics in my county.

The guy who owns one of the most popular tree service companies here is so busy that he has a waiting list. When he came to remove a dead tree from my yard recently, he was assisted by one assistant. They removed the tree (a tall pine with a diameter of a little over 2 ft), cleaned up the debris and stacked everything by the street for pick-up by the city within 40 minutes. I paid him $250 (which was quite reasonable).

Parse that. If this guy paid his helper $50 which is extremely generous, that means he has $200 left for himself for 40-45 minutes of work.

On top of that, he had a crew working at another location across town during the time he was at my house.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was netting over $400 grand a year.

Think about that.

White people are singles out because they are on a path to genocide.

White = evil.

Imagine this being done with blacks in the NBA:

Yet whites are targeted, not hired, fired for being white, told by teachers they are evil, and eventually will be put on trains and send off for extermination.

We are in stage four of the genocide now. Will get worse.

A whole lotta Hispanics are gonna achieve whiteness this fall. Not by becoming racist, but becoming Republican. (Of course, this is all disgusting racism on the part of the Left.)

There is too much money for education. This is the nonsense it grows into when the cash flows in with no reality check. The absurdities have to keep getting more ridiculous in order to be seen as innovative, especially as they are incapable of being genuinely able to produce anything of value.

I go to a Spanish church service each Sunday. Our congregation ranges from “whiter than me” to “black.”

Normal Hispanic people would tell these professors where to put their browner browns and whiter whites, if they knew the professors existed.

Achieving whiteness..........a laudable goal that I have been working for all my life and here I am a Caucasian!

Talk about solidifying the psycho/social process of stereotyping!

Next Tanya Hernández will be railing against achieving Jewness!

Achieving Whiteness...a very good thing!

But you can just forget all this Hernandez bull crap.

Most people want to laugh it off, but it’s already happening, and has been happening for decades. It doesn’t have to be an organized effort, it’s just buried in a memory hole as a robbery, “gone wrong”, or mental illness and humoring the mass murderer like Darrel Brooks. No one is screaming for him to get death penaly.
