The struggle is real

I would love to learn more about the development of languages and dialects, last year I read a short story collection written in phonetic Afro-Peruvian dialect (it's called Monólogo desde las tinieblas by Arturo Gálvez Ronceros) and was intrigued with how similar it was to Caribbean Spanish dialects, with the dropped vowels and changing "r" sounds to "l". Or rather, I would like to learn not the theory but the particulars of certain cases, like in this one I imagine it would be the shared African influence given the distance between one another. I remember I also liked to find out that certain words in New World dialects were considered antiquated in the peninsula--it had to do with the time period that the language was brought, and decreasing contacts over time.

One thing I would like to do--and I think it will be hard, especially in English--is to stop calling castellano "Spanish." It always feels wrong, especially in its own language--when I learned to speak I called it castellano and when I grew older it continued to make no sense because, as I found out, there are many languages spoken in Spain, that originated in the territories of what is now Spain. It's not only inaccurate but disrespectful. Even more, when someone speaks castellano and says "español," it sounds to me like a calque of the word "Spanish" as it is used in the English language, much like saying americano when you mean estadounidense. It could be that some dialects natively use the term that way--I've heard Spaniards do it for example, and people from some Latin American countries--but to me it does not sound right. Is this too political? In reality I don't think anyone notices, but I will remember. Is this one of those antiquated words? Reading a 400-year book will have you saying, "See, they were calling it castellano," though for other words you have to break open the dictionary because usage has changed or the term is associated with topics that have nothing to do with your modern life, like artisanal fabrics and horse-rearing and outdated military practices.

BLACK ERASURE IN ARGENTINA

Argentina is Blacker than it likes to admit. “Mexicans descend from the Aztecs, Peruvians from the Incas, but Argentinians descend from ships from Europe,” so goes an old saying that encapsulates Argentina’s perception of itself as a nation of White Europeans that never had Blacks. Afro-Argentines formed almost half of the population of Argentina in 1778, but an evidently systematically implemented anti-Blackness policy reduced them to 30% of the population by the time the country gained independence from Spain in 1816.

Several decades of racial politics and alleged extermination campaigns followed where they were slowly yet steadily wiped out and their rich Black culture erased from the nation’s collective consciousness. Today, statistics show Afro-Argentines form a paltry 0.4% of Argentina’s total population, making it the Whitest country not just in Latin America but the Whitest country outside of Europe.

Evidently, there were no racially-oriented laws in Argentina, such as South Africa’s apartheid or the Jim Crow laws in the United States, but the country created a lot of obstacles that prevented Black people from accessing lands, the labour market and education. Over the centuries, Black and indigenous people chose to strategically increasingly mix with and pass off as White to escape marginalisation. Some of the country’s biggest stars can trace their lineage back to Black slaves. However, compared to other South American teams, the all-White, always-White roster of the soccer team must have piqued your curiosity.

This Whitening process was attempted throughout much of the Americas, in places such as Brazil, Uruguay as well as the United States, when the American Colonization Society set up Liberia as a home for freed slaves. What makes Argentina’s story unique in this context, however, is that it successfully pushed to build its image as a White country. Ex-president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento once said towards the end of the 19th century that it would be impossible to see Blacks in Argentina unless one travelled to Brazil. African Stream’s Brenda Mwai lays out the case.

there are some autistic “traits” that people find really annoying but that are inherently kind

making fun of a trans persons name is ghoulish behaviour btw why do we have to keep going over this

Ngl this sounds too much of my ocs...

woke: two nemeses who use romance as a weapon of choice against each other bc they are both romance hating aros

Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable

If your gonna talk shit about me, at least do it correctly lmao. Yeah, I misread you to be 20 in your blog when you actually wrote yourself as 'late 20s' in your bio. That was my bad. With the 'infantilising aces' claim though...

"Aint no way you call infantilisation a privilege" suggests that aces portrayed as "uwu innocent aces" or "pure aces" are infantilising. You were comparing the portrayal of aces vs the portrayal of aros. You did not claim that aces were innocent or pure, you were accounting the portrayal of aces. Thus, you didn't infantilised aces and there's no evidence of me claiming that you were infantilise aces. And given your response, "not being stereotyped as a sexual predator is a privilege" instead of something like "I am not infantilising aces" means that you knew my intended message was about the infantilised portrayal of aces, not accusing you of infantilising aces.

"are aroallos old evil predators or are we young people not knowing what we're talking about?" How did I even imply your a predator? Is it this reply?

Because that doesn't even suggest aroallos are predators. It's talking about one of asexual's major struggles; corrective rape. It is a type of rape specifically to "fix" someone's sexuality. According to sources such as MCSA, 43.5% of Asexuals experienced sexual violence. This was in order to highlight that the infantilised portrayal of asexuality is not a privilege due to not only the portrayal was in order to make asexuality invalid or not to be taken seriously, but it is even more of a disgusting portrayal when combined with the fact that asexuals have gone through sexual violence for their sexuality to be "fixed." In no way does the reply even mention aroallos in any form. How you can even come to that conclusion is beyond me. Plus the "or are we young people not knowing what we're talking about?"

"Your 20, aren't you going to college?" Suggests that you should be more smarter because you are an adult/at least older than me and college is one of an advanced form of education as a highlight. Me thinking you were 20 didn't mean I thought you had no idea what you were talking about. If anything, it was the opposite because I thought at the age of 20, you should already know better. Your not 20, I know that now, stupid of me as I misread your bio. My point still stands that it's not that your age makes you dumb, it's that you said something dumb despite your age.

"i'm a predator until you don't like my opinion." What does this even mean and who even said that to you? Cuz it's definitely not me.

All of this also shows that there was no arophobia and aroallophobia. My guy, if you don't like the criticism I gave you then that's fine. It's you making false claims about me to not be though.

not arophobes complaining about me "infantilising aces" (which i didn't) but then deciding that "late 20s" actually means 20. which one is it? are aroallos old evil predators or are we young people not knowing what we're talking about? i'm a predator until you don't like my opinion.

if you can't even tell the difference between 20 and late 20s you shouldn't be on the internet. aroallophobes are fucking cretins my god.
