http://afropunk.com/2018/01/anti-blackness-latinx-countries-systemic-reinforced-deliberate-cultural-policy/

Some excerpts:
Amara La Negra has been making waves on social media as the breakout star of Love and Hip Hop: Miami. What sets her apart is her identity as a dark-skinned Afro-Latina and her unapologetic willingness to claim her Blackness. She wears her hair in a big, beautiful afro, which her anti-Black manager finds unmarketable and in her Meet the Cast video, Amara states, Theres women that look like myself in every single Latin country, but everybody just admires and looks at the JLos and the Shakiras, but Im Latina too! What happened to us?

Amaras query is a valid one. With over 1.4 million Mexicans self-identifying as Black or having African ancestry in 2015 and Brazil being the second Blackest nation in the world, its almost absurd how the term Latino has managed to secede itself from Blackness. Sofia Vergara, Mario Lopez, and other light-skinned and/or white-passing Latinx people have become the poster children for Latin America, failing to reflect the large Black populations in their respective countries of origin. However, this separation of Black heritage from Latino identity is not accidental.

The effects of racial whitening are even present in how Brazilians use language to identify themselves, with over 134 terms related to skin color documented by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Most of these terms, such as pardo and morena exist for the purpose of distancing oneself from Blackness in the Portuguese language.

Similar linguistic patterns are present in the Spanish language as well; during his rule as dictator of the Dominican Republic, Rafael Trujillo required Dominicans with Black ancestry to identify themselves as indio (Indian), which effectively distanced the nation from the neighboring Haiti and pushed the anti-Black customary narrative of they are black, and we are not. When terms like negra are used, they are often derogatory and directed at Latinx people who have undesirable traits such as dark skin and wide noses. This leads to current domestic policy in which Dominican political leadership expelled dark-skinned Dominicans to Haiti.

I, personally, do not claim a mestizo race, nor will I ever buy into the concept of Latino unity when my mothers dark skin and my fathers coiled hair is fodder for racially insensitive jokes are considered harmless because race is allegedly unseen. But they do see race.
They see it when they assume my mother is my nanny or my aunt. They see it when they go into Brazilian favelas and notice that most of the people there are Black. They see it when they watch telenovelas and say nothing about how the only Black characters are given roles of slaves, maids, sex workers, and thieves.

But I want people to be aware that I am not the only face of Latin America. My mother is Latin America. Amara La Negra is Latin America, too. Afro-Latinx people have shaped the music, the food, the celebrations, and almost everything that draws so many people to these beautiful countries, and we have yet to get the acknowledgement we deserve. People love reggaeton and punta, but they dont love us.

Maybe one day, they will. Ill keep fighting to see it.

Assuming 4 per month if it ends in late April, that puts us at 135.

It actually ends on March 25th.

They could add Birdo, Captain Rainbow, Waluigi, Rex, Black Shadow, Impa, Girahim, Kranky Kong, the crocodile dude from Donkey Kong, Shadow, Hawlucha, any other fighters from Punch Out, more Fire Emblem reps like Chrom.

There's a lot of videogames character that can be put in

Yeah, adding relatively minor Nintendo characters (minor in comparison to the likes of Mario, Link, DK, and Pikachu, that is) is a given, but those characters can't really bring the hype like, say, Sonic, Snake, Mega Man, and Cloud did.

I mean, there's only so many big-name game characters that can be added for hype, and a good many of them are already in the game.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the likes of Goku, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Astroboy, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Harry Potter, Homer Simpson, and Sailor Moon join the roster in some future Smash game.

Okay, I would be surprised, actually.

Using a medium to push a left-wing political or social justice agenda when the message is unrelated to the story or completely inappropriate within the mediums universe.

So, are such shows not allowed to cover that material at all unless said work is specifically about that "agenda"?

Nope.
This has real diversity instead of just putting all white folk into the same box. Part of SJWism is the massive hypocrisy, double stands, and redefinitions.

Though if it came out today, it would still get accusations of "SJW-pandering".
