Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Little thing I wrote on Medium. I'd appreciate some feedback.

Wasn't sure where to post this so I put it here.

There are also just a lot of people stuck under a Latino/Hispanic option on these forms that don't generally identify much with either one. Maybe it's less common after a few generations, where I see more people self-identifying as such within the US, but I've worked with a lot of first generation immigrants from different countries who are like "Wtf is Latino, or Hispanic? Why are people calling me that? I'm not Hispanic, I'm Dominican/Ecuadorian/Mexican."
