pornstar Shay Evans is not “passing”. Latin is NOT a race.
Alex Mayers provides commentary on a recent post from MikeSouth.com which is not only incredibly racist in nature but a form of bullying as well.
The post accuses pornstar Shay Evans of “passing” and denying that she’s Black by listing herself as “Latina” – however the reality is Shay Evans is multiracial. Furthermore “Latin” is NOT a race.
From Google.com
“Neither “Hispanic” nor “Latino” refers to a race, as a person of Latino/Hispanic ethnicity can be of any race. Like non-Latinos, a Latino can be of any race or combination of races: White/Caucasian, Black/African American, Asian, Native American, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander American, or two or more races.”
This particular situation illustrates how truly racist and anti-Black the American pornography industry is. At this stage Alex feels all Black performers might as well simply list themselves as “American” or “English”.
Thoughts on PASSING – only the pornography industry views Xander Corvus as Black
For a few years now, the public figure known as Xander Corvus aka Mychael has made it known via his social media that his father is of African American heritage – however though Xander is multiracial is he really “Black”? From Alex Mayers’ perspective though Xander may genetically be Black, she doesn’t feel that someone who has the ability to conceal their African heritage (pass) truly understands what it is to be a Black African American. Alex includes recent statements (quotes) from Gabrielle Union in this video to further illustrate her points – for more information on the speech by Gabrielle Union that Alex Mayers references, visit this link: PNTLIVE commentary – Gabrielle Union: “Don’t be the happy negro doing the bidding of the status quo” https://youtu.be/Sei8MzUHYyQ
