"Latinegras represent the mirrors that most Latinos would like to shatter because they reflect the blackness Latino's don't want to see in themselves,"
Race & Colorism
Latinegra women can undergo discrimination because of their skin tone and blackness. This impacts how they're noticed by family, society, and potential partners.

Family & Culture
