"mestizaje"

Watching these Latinx and Latin American comedians, I couldn’t help but see proof that we’re more similar than we think. 

So because of colonization, Latin America wants us all to be white, and the U.S., in their effort to include but also differentiate us in their media, have pigeon-holed the entire community into being the same shade of mestizo brown. But the reality is much more beautiful and complex.

Our criteria? How much we liked it (duh), its overall quality (based on our scientific quality meter), and how smart it was when it came to matters of gender, race, sexuality, etc.
