Latino and Black identities can supplement rather than replace each other

Evidence

Side by side, Gamboa and Senna indicate that while Latina, Latino, and “multiracial” may seem to be exclusive categories, they also speak to different levels of racial “sameness.” Latina and Latino do not replace black, nor vice versa, but they can supplement it. Senna’s and Gamboa’s work illustrates that they do not linearly fit the imagined role of how a racialized subject lives. They show the specific realities of the supposedly nonspecific, easily recognizable “nonwhite.” — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2508
