I stumbled upon this when searching up the needs of Venezuelans(I was born there but raised in Canada) in the comments section of one article. This kind of response to hunger and poverty in non white countries is so heinous; I have personally dealt with many people, in Canada by the way, who have never been to Latin America (or if so never longer than a month on a vacation), don’t know the level of diversity in Latin America, how colonization has impacted countries like this alongside politicians exploiting their citizens that tell me this bullshit. “Just kick the Americans out, you don’t need them!”“We don’t like people from the US either.”“Why not just grow your own food? Your people have all the access and ability to do that.”Just stop. Don’t put your words in the mouths of WOC and POC who are silenced by you every day. The kinds of struggles like this are not caused by the citizens. Own it. It can’t be fixed by planting some vegetables, doing cocaine and salsa dancing, like all you gringxs think Latinx people do. -- source link
