![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope this doesn\’t offend anyone, but in my experience, when a white woman hooks up with a man of a different race, it\’s a red flag when they want to adopt that person\’s traditions after being spurned on by popular media (Disclaimer: I love Coco, I just don\’t like how suddenly every white person I meet suddenly decides they know more than me about my traditions) ![]() The real kicked is the ending when they all watch f\’ing Coco together, and the white family wants to do an ofrenda together. But maybe the author wanted him to see more ~spicy~. He\’s supposed to have grown up in the US, so like me and most of my generation, he should have learned to code switch. Never in my life have I used Spanish the way the main character does. The problem with white people writing people of color is that they try so hard not to be racist and seem ~woke~ they end up that way anyway My mother is Latina, and Spanish was my first language. The author had a note at the beginning saying she didn\’t intend to be racist, and that she was going into this with an open heart or something. Do you know what wasn\’t cute? The unintentional racism. 1 star for consent, -4 stars for racism The romance was cute, the siblings were cute, the kitchen renovation was cute. ![]()
