  • With the whole Glastonbury kerfuffle I’ve come to know more about this band called Bob Vylan. They have this lovely song, and it goes ike this:

    I heard you want your country back
    Shut the fuck up
    I heard you want your country back
    Uh-uh, you can't have that
    The only place I know
    Stolen right under my nose
    By ignorant scum
    Tryna lay claim to a land that ain't theirs anyway
    Wait - what did you say?
    I heard you want your country back
    Ha! Shut the fuck up
    I heard you want your country back
    Uh-uh, you can't have that
    I heard you want your country back
    Ha! Shut the fuck up
    I heard you want your country back
    Well shit, me too
    









  • A lot of anti-latino racism really boils down to colonial anti-indigenous racism. The fascists are usually fine with white latinos, but something really stirs in them when it’s about mestizos, i.e. people whose family tree includes indigenous ancestry. Think of the stereotype of the Latin American gangster, the Mexican cartel rabid dog, like the ones in Breaking Bad. What do they look like? They never look like Ricky Martin, now, do they?
