1/20/19 discussion about Twitter and being half-Chicano

Here is the link to my January 20, 2019, Twitter thread discussion about being half Chicano and half Irish.

I would like to note -- this thread was partly inspired by a Twitter reaction I'd had following my threads about the 2019 Women's March.

Some people -- it seems to me nowadays that they were likely trolls who targeted anybody on Twitter who'd had anything positive to say about the Women's March -- started making fun of me for being white. I let myself get drawn into their trolling, and I let myself get really upset. To cool myself down a bit, I wrote this thread.

However -- this is possibly the first thread, as you'll see, where I started to indicate that I was going to make some changes to the way I operated on Twitter. I noted that very few people reacted positively to me on Twitter, while a lot of people reacted hatefully. What I was coming to the conclusion about here was that it really wasn't worthwhile for me to have a lot of followers, since the only thing I seemed to get, even with a lot of followers, was hatred on my timeline.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still mostly coherent.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.
