They're both darker than me, but they claim to be white latinos (several family reunions dispute this but whatever) so they're white when there aren't any Anglos around to say something. I mean that seriously, they use the word Anglo a lot as way to e plain why they still face prejudice despite being "white". You see it's really Northern Europeans who are the racists.

Secondly they're brown when it's convenient to team up with us blacks.

Finally getting to Television, they watch Spanish news and talkshows but mostly English language scripted shows. They do watch a few Spanish dramas but the quality is just so goddamn bad.

So yeah Latinos are complex (read:fucked up). The internal racial divisions alone are terrible. Most of those Spanish shows feature Latinos who are bone white. Fuck showing Afro-Latinos. They barely show people who are noticeably mestizo.
