DON'T CALL ME LATINO
By Peter Salcido
Latino is a European invention that was and is forced upon the indigenous population throughout colonization and cultural and ethnic genocide meant to erase us. To get rid of our sacredness and power. The indigenous populations of North, Central, South America including the Caribbean all belong to one ethnicity. The cultures, of course, vary and change depending on what part of the two continents your ancestors are from. We all look different and sound different. But we are still Indigenous to these lands.
