You assume people have decency, but many don't. They only care about clout and views. Chacha, and her reaction to criticism, are perfect examples for that. As well as those who try to paint it as "Just a joke"
I don’t normally respond to things on here but I’m fucking pissed off. A clip of ChaCha was on my feed and my blood is boiling from it. And before people say don’t get political…fuck that. This is a human rights issue, basic human decency.
Before I want to say anything, I don’t know ChaCha, but wanted to gain an understanding of who this person is that is making jokes about ICE, a very real threat and fear for many around the US currently.
And now I’m even more pissed off.
You’re telling me a LATINA vtuber who’s a MOM OF 4 KIDS is making jokes about a REGIME WHO IS ACTIVELY TEARING APART IMMIGRANT FAMILIES AND NON IMMIGRANT FAMILIES !?
PLEASE. TELL ME WHERE THE FUCKING JOKE IS. TELL ME HOW YOU DO NOT GET IT CHA CHA?
I will give benefit of the doubt, she is apparently half white half Puerto Rican. Perhaps she does not know the struggles of her own culture, maybe she does not have family members who have been or could have been affected by this. Maybe she uses the Latina bit as part of her branding but really doesn’t claim la cultura. I do not know.
I am Mexican American. I know from personal experience and from stories told in my family the hardships and very real reality of what ICE is. Let me give you a little history lesson.
In Latin culture or at least Mexicans in the states would know ICE by a different name. “La Migra” which is Spanish slang for the migration. Growing up I heard about this horrific thing, to me La Migra was the boogeyman, this ominous thing that took away your loved ones.
This is one of the very reasons I grew up having Panic disorder and Anxiety. Imagine young baby Glitch who’s only 4 years old being so terrified that her father could be taken away…it still destroys me when I think about it. I’m crying having to think back to those moments in time. Before anyone says anything my father did his process and is a US citizen so don’t even go there.
I am SO fucking lucky, thankful and proud of my family and everything they have gone through. But there are MANY who are not as lucky, MANY who are currently living in the fear, the anxiety, and the panic.
ChaCha, as someone with kids, I would have thought you would have some heart, some understanding, that as a parent you must know the heartache seeing families torn apart does. Please be thankful that you don’t have to live with the fear of you being separated from your kids. Please be happy your kids don’t have to wonder where you went or if they’ll ever see you again.
I am not a mother, I do not know and cannot imagine the intricacies of motherhood. But I do know, that as a daughter, as an aunt, as an ex-wife…my “mother bear” instincts kick in if anyone I loved was threatened with this reality.
So ChaCha, Latina to Latina…HAVE SOME FUCKING EMPATHY. DO BETTER. BE THE BETTER IN THIS WORLD.
We can all do better to connect and be decent human beings, let’s choose that path. ❤️
