“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”

“The truth is, it’s very hard to understand Latino identity without acknowledging the way it’s been fundamentally shaped and transformed by centuries of Latin American colonialism and the U.S.’s own violent history with race and racism.”
― Paola Ramos, Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America
