Imagine if someone made a similar product, but explicitly marketed towards white people. How well would that be received here?

- atlasunshrugged 4y agoIronically, I think many latino's do classify themselves as white! https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2021/11/04/measuring-the-racial-identity-of-latinos/ https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2021/11/04/measuring-th... I get what you're driving at but I just don't think it's helpful for anyone to pretend that there aren't groups of people with different needs, cultures, etc. and don't think this is that big of a deal
- 29athrowaway 4y agoLatino relates to country of origin not ethnicity. There are many colonies of Europeans in Latin America that are mostly endogamic and they would be considered Latino too.
- drstewart 4y agoCountry of origin can be an ethnicity. Ethnicity isn't race. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latino_(demonym) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latino_(demonym) >Neither "Hispanic" nor "Latino" refers to a race, as a person of Latino/Hispanic ethnicity can be of any race https://thesocietypages.org/teaching/2013/04/02/latino-race-or-ethnicity/ https://thesocietypages.org/teaching/2013/04/02/latino-race-... >As sociologists, we are quick to refer to “Latino” as an ethnicity,
- 29athrowaway 4y agoSo an endogamic Mennonite living in Latin America is the same ethnicity as a tribe member from the Amazon? Makes a lot of sense. Good job, sociologists.
- drstewart 4y agoI actually agree, and think there's probably a clear need here to provide for a market that's underserved. I do think it's odd to categorize this as inclusive though.
