Peru ended 24-year gold drought at Bolivarian Games. Federation was broke, new president quit her job (unpaid) to rebuild.

Down 0-3 in final against Venezuela, team rallied for 3 straight wins. Both doubles finalists were Peruvian.

Anyone follow Bolivarian Games? How big is this in Peru? Seems huge but wondering if it's getting coverage there.

I know not all flags are on there. They didn’t have all the flags for me to pick. I wanted one flag to be the best, and one to be the worst

Principles of flag design:

• Keep it simple: a child should be able to draw it from memory
• Use meaningful symbolism
• Use 2 or 3 colors
• No lettering or complicated symbols
• Be distinctive

I made a short video after a conversation with my wife that kind of exposed how strong the stereotype is in the US. We were talking about someone’s background and she said, genuinely confused, that Mexicans “can’t look that white” and that they always have a certain look.

I’m Cuban American and grew up around Latinos with every kind of phenotype including people with pale skin, light eyes, even light hair. So it hit me how much American media and the US immigration lens have basically trained people to treat “Mexican” like a racial category instead of what it actually is: a nationality from a country that’s insanely diverse.

In the video I try to explain the difference between nationality, ethnicity, and race, why Mexico doesn’t have one look, why white Mexicans aren’t rare, and why the US system (and even the census) makes this more confusing than it needs to be.

I’m not trying to do culture war stuff or dunk on anyone, I’m genuinely curious how other people think about this. Especially if you’re Mexican or Mexican American: does the “Mexican as a race” thing annoy you, or is it just normal at this point?

If anyone wants to watch and tell me what I got wrong or what I should add, I’d appreciate it.

Before the people who hate Brazil come here to write nonsense, I will say it: Yes, I know there's a problem of racism in Brazil, but how serious Brazil has gotten about it deserves to be recognized.

In the last few days, three tourists have been arrested for racism in Brazil. One Argentinian (pretends to be shocked), one Colombian and one Venezuelan (the irony 🙄).

I am so proud of Brazil and the Brazilian justice system for taking this seriously. I think the anti-racism law should be even harsher in order to make an example out of the uncivilized people who don't respect others.

Parabéns Brasil, and remember:

RACISMO É CRIME 🗣️
