Recently, I watched this Netflix series.

A Mexican American family was facing increasing hardships with gentrification. It centered around a grandfather, his grandchildren, and his restaurant. One of his grandchildren was a lesbian.

I knew something was off, the first time they used the word “Latinx”, and then soon after “queer”. And then all the times that followed that.

With the exception of a couple of trans Hispanic people, I’ve never heard anyone accept or use “Latinx”. I’ve heard it almost exclusively from white social justice warriors assigning this term to the Hispanic community. Likewise for “queer”, for the LGB community, it’s only really been white sjws trying to be spicy and different, I don’t hear this from many LGB people, except for the young ones that bought into this whole self destructive, homophobic culture.

Which brings me back to the show, every single white person was the enemy, whether they had anything to do with their problems or not. “White” “gringo”, etc. were all used as insults for even their own Mexican cousin, bc he wasn’t stereotypical enough and was too successful and ambitious to suit being a “real” Mexican. (How insulting.)

Also, b*tch was making a pretty frequent appearance. Women called each other it, men called women it. It was just completely acceptable. Imagine, accepting being dehumanized like that. Yet, they were apparently all strong women, “feminists” even. We were told.

And the Latina lesbian’s mother was racist towards her daughter’s black, Dominican GF. In another part of the show, they made fun of Indian food.

They figured that they’d get yuppies interested in their restaurant to bring in money, bc they were broke. These yuppies ended up including Asians, blacks, other Hispanics, and yes, some white people, too.

None the less, they were constantly referred to as “colonizers”. This was in California, by the way. How any one of these people are any less colonizers to the real area’s ancestral inhabitants, the Native Americans, is beyond me.

Anyways, colonizers this, colonizers that.

One of the characters needed to hire an assistant, and as soon as I saw them and heard that weird falsetto, I knew she was a he.

He fucked up constantly, blew the job off, didn’t take it seriously, was dismissive of his boss, and self entitled.

The character tried to fire him, but he was kept on by her own boss bc of the diversity appeal of a black, Latina trans woman. A trophy for inclusion.

Later on, we see him living in his car and we hear a sob story that he screwed up his life and nothing is his fault, bc he’s anxious and depressed…. (Welcome to the club). But he got a pity party and of course, all was golden for him from then on out.

It turns out that this TIM was actually a writer on the show. And he came back in another episode, and with no exaggeration, btch and he were every other word out of his mouth. When he wasn’t saying or doing aggressively sexual things. (I forgot about the asterisk thing, so it was b#tch and h#e.)

It was hard to believe that he didn’t even have the self awareness to recognize how bad he’s making TIMs look, but the thing that struck me the most is, here was this writer, accusing others of being “colonizers” but the only colonizer we see is this man inserting himself into our gender, and deciding that some of the worst insults and stereotypes for us are not only ok, but that he’s going to shove it down everyone’s throats- and it’s just fine, bc he says he’s a woman! He speaks for all of us.

Unfortunately, this transitioned writer killed himself. Apparently, transitioning doesn’t prevent that, does it? At least not after the euphoria wears off. And people actually want the same for children…
