This tweet is a perfect example of the subtle racism and xenophobia F1 fans (Twitter and Tumblr too) use to speak about Checo and his fans. It's crazy how some of you don't realize it.
Most of the drivers on this grid are there not just for their sporting caliber, but also because of their commercial appeal. This is a money sport, and commercial success is a significant factor when signing drivers. Checo is not an exception to this rule, so when discussing him, always remember that many others are in the same position, but he is singled out, particularly because he is a POC rider. If you don't realize how problematic that is, I don't know what to tell you.
2. Why does it bother you all so much that the only Latino rider is being supported by Mexican and Latin fans? Why does the idea of someone having our support seem worse or less than the support of European or American fans? You all imply this by saying people support him only because he is Mexican and not because of his driving skills, while European and American fans do the same with other drivers. There are fanbases full of people stanning drivers because of their looks. So why should Latin American fans be treated as if their opinions and support are less valid than others? If you all don't understand how racist that is, I can't help you.
3. Referring to his fans as South American (when Checo is Mexican and the majority of his fanbase is from Mexico, which is in North America) shouldn't need explaining in the context of the world we live in. Using that kind of tone to talk about the identity of a Mexican driver and confusing his nationality is racist. I'm not saying you have to like Checo Pérez (I'm not his biggest fan because of some of his past comments and driving), but there's a difference between disliking and being hater of someone and being ignorant. Maybe you don't get how it's racist, but that's the thing with subtle racism—it’s not obvious, but it’s still racist and xenophobic.
ok look look I'm all here for dean not knowing castiels confession was romantic yeah Jensen I hear ya buddy but have you ever thought of the fact that he did?
but it wasn't so clear to him before because he was tone deaf to the angels ways. Not until castiel uttered the words "I love you" dean knew all those years. the real reason why castiel did everything and went against his own kind, because of the Sher amount of love he felt for one pathetic little man named dean Winchester. he didn't feel like he was good enough to deserve this type of love. not that he was complaining but everything coming together in his mind, he couldn't do much but beg castiel not to do this. and then it was to late, left alone with sheer regret of not using the words "I love you to" he'd never been the type of guy to be up right with his words. even Sammy knew this, hell Sam didn't remember the last time dean told him he loved him fully Or just straight up said "I love you" he had his ways of using other words to avoid saying that one. Small sentence he feared so much. and now his one chance at any true love was gone like a blink of an eye, how stupid could one man be? he's done stupid things, but this had to have been worst then that (I am half awake HELP). why? Why couldn't he say one sentence not even a full one at that, nothing more then three words and seven letters. Everytime he'd ever tried to it felt like his jaw would lock up as if it tried to keep from saying something he either didn't really mean or something he couldn't promise. couldn't even tell the people he cared so dearly about he loved them. Maybe it was the shame he felt when he let out his side that was weaker then what he wore. The side that would shatter upon any small impact. he was like a ticking time bomb. he missed castiel. he was stunned and couldn't do anything but let his outer shell shatter as the tears came running down like a waterfall. he couldn't make them stop and his eyes started to burn with all the rubbing he was doing, his lungs got tighter along with his wind pipes. Taking small gasps for air with every horrible sob. those words ruinned his life, "I love you" wasn't enough for him. why was he so selfish?
skeptic is the primary voice searching for answers, he has an ending where nobody gets hurt, he has an audibly cool voice, he AUDIBLY WINKS (HUGE DORK MOVE) and yet definitely not as favorited as many other voices. people will get attached to others so quickly; Conty, Smit, even Para. but its never like "ayo i like this guy ^^ he's spitting facts!!" like the other voices. he's cool and silly and loves the princess, i want more skippy appreciation
And another Splatoon OC design! My Neo-3 who I play as occasionally when Im not in the mood to be my squidsona. Her name is “Mama” Windlass and her Smallfry’s name is Spek . She turned 30 recently but feels way older , and she just wanted to raise her fish son but now is doing search and rescue missions , she guesses .
Her main goals are to get autographs from Deep Cut because Spek adores them, and also maybe to have a nap some time. Naps are good she misses them.
