In honor of Black History Month, another video selection for your viewing pleasure. In this clip, young Afro-Latinas living in the U.S. speak up about race, their roots and identity. It’s interesting to hear these girls talk about this complex topic and how different their opinions on some aspects of their shared identity are so different.

The comments on the video are mostly atrocious, but highlight how sensitive a topic this is to some people. What do you think?
