I agree,my boyfriend is from Mexico.He has deep cinnamon skin & looks like an Aztec warrior.his friends make fun of him & call him Negrito,Feo,Chocolate,ect,ect.I think his skin is beautiful.Other Mexican people even told they did not like Pedro's skin color.They also never show someone like Pedro on Mexican TV & that angers me.On the other hand they will also make fun of you if you are too light & have blue eyes & light hair,& you and up looking like a gringo,I guees they forgot Spainards are white.

I'm Latina and i see people as equal, even if they are dark or light skinned. i do get very upset when i see on Hispanic TV only light skinned (mostly blonde with blue eyes) because they don't represent the population as a whole. And most Latinos think that the lighter the skin the more attractive they are. Those things should have stopped when the countries gained independence from Spain.

@redsoxbabeuh Well it doesn't help that Dominicans killed a Ukrainian lady for yogurt in the DR. You think I am joking look at this link below.
Google this. Ukrainian woman gunned down and robbed in Sosua over 2 small yogurt
If you are planning a suicide, but don't have the nerve to do it, why don't you just visit Sosua, chances are great that you be shipped home in a pinebox!!!

You didnt know that everyone hates Blacks lol? I had a friend and the latinos in her community thought she was Black African American and spoke badly about her in spanish, she understood everyword. Thing is, theres a lot of negativity associated with looking Black. You are a much better person loving yourself for who you are...

Exactly! My dad is dominican so when we were living in texas a lot of the mexicans would look down on him and pretty much looked at carribean spanish as savages. no joke! Plus everytime i'm watching univision or mun2 i notice a lot of the people on there are light skinned. It's crazy...i think the darker ones are better looking!
