@bookswithamanda212: Listen, there are some stereotypes that are actually funny to make jokes out of because they don’t do active harm and uphold dangerous perceptions. So don’t think I’m a party pooper. But this stereotype is not one of those funny ones. The “Toxic Crazy Exotic Fiery Latina” stereotype is one that undermines the legitimate concerns and emotions of Latina women in relationships, the workplace, and academia. These caricatures of who we are normalizes the fetishization around our community as well as justifies genuinely abusive behaviors. These types of women are dangerous to be around. They will do anything and be anything in order to receive attention and validation from people, particularly men. It’s not cute, funny or quirky. It’s lame and gross. #latina #latinawomen #puertorican #boricua #culture
