so since a while back there was that whole thousands of graves from residential schools in canada news a while back and people finally decided to remember the pain and suffering indigenous people have been forced to go through...

hey guys remember when simblr had a racist bitch fit bc indigenous ppl don’t all perfectly fit in to their disney’s pocahontas stereotype? remember when y’all were totally down with validating colonization and genocide by calling people “white natives” and saying with your whole chests that anyone who doesn’t “look indigenous” (and what, exactly, do indigenous people look like?) isn’t allowed to claim their ancestry, race, ethnicity, and culture.

anyways not-so-friendly reminder that indigenous americans (and aboriginal australians honestly bc same shit different continent, the systematic destruction of indigenous people and their cultures was practically universal) were the victims of genocide in the form of residential schools, ripping children - esp mixed raced children - from their families, cultural erasure, and heavy attempts to “breed out the savage” by breeding in white european traits over multiple generations. not-so-friendly reminder that indigenous americans come in every race and shade, from white to asian to black to visibly mixed to every other phenotype under the sun. not-so-friendly reminder that this is due to hundreds of years of oppression, destruction, and - i must add - forced marriage (and rape) of indigenous women to white european men and, then, kidnapping of their lighter-skinned children to forcibly adopt them to white christian families in order to systematically destroy every last vestige of indigenous culture and blood ties. not-so-friendly reminder of the thousands of murdered and missing indigenous women and children who are never found (or only found decades later through sheer luck alone) because of racism, police violence (ever heard of starlight tours?), and fucked up law loopholes that allow this bullshit?

do you guys remember all that? ‘cos i do. i have to. some of y’all need to sit and think for a fucking minute before you open your mouths, and do fucking better. if the people who think this kind of bullshit had their way, there would be no indigenous people left.

hello!! this is maybe not going to do anything to change your attitude on things but um hi! i’m a white/mixed native gal!! i’m actually from white earth, which is an ojibwe tribe in the midwest. and i wanted to say that i think it’s valid for you to say that “hey i’m indigenous” bc it’s true you are!!! but as we’re people who (in my case i have a fair complexion since my dad is white) don’t suffer from racism nearly to the same degree as indigenous people who take the brunt of it all, you should really be more wary when posting things that you’ve posted. we need to pose ourselves as allies, and not take away the fact that since we look different we aren’t affected in the same way as other indigenous individuals.i also think that you should maybe take a break from answering these asks and maybe turn off anon? personally as someone who’s nd as well i can get in these fits of going off the rails and not realizing, and it seems like maybe that’s the case here. either way you can respond to this like you’ve been doing with other asks (w sarcasm/cussing people out) but i think people would take you a bit more serious on these issues if you presented things differently when answering stuff /s

nobody said we experience the same level of racism. people assign your race based on how you look, so yes, most people will assume i am white at first glance, and i won't experience racism while i'm just going about my life. however, it is objectively racist to deny someone's actual ethnicity when they tell you what they are. white natives do not exist. you are mixed or white passing. you are indigenous until your "blood quotent" (which is its own brand of racist bs built on genocide but i rly dont wanna get into that lol i could write a whole essay on the subject) is low enough to remove you from the tribe. mine is high enough, thus i am mixed indigenous. i am, by definition, not 'white'. white natives are just not a thing. white passing, yes. but not white. i am not a white ally. i am a mixed race indigenous woman. that's a simple fact - the level of racism i experience doesn't come into play with that. if the census comes by, i am expected to check off native. the level of racism you experience doesn't change your ethnicity, yknow? it's just how you are.

in any case, i'm cherokee. just look at the tribal council - plenty of even them are light-skinned with blue eyes. this idea that if you have those traits you can't be indigenous purely comes from the racist idea that all indigenous americans have dark brown skin, black hair, and brown eyes, which simply isn't true. in fact, i'd say most don't have dark skin in the way a lot of ppl on tumblr seem to think they do, unless they are mixed with a parent who does. it might lean darker, but it's often going to be on the light to tan spectrum. especially since the vast majority of indigenous americans are heavily mixed with white people at this point. an olive undertone does not dark skin make. and blue eyes are recessive so if you have relatives on each side that have had blue eyes you can get the trait, genetics are far more complicated than they teach you in forth grade. those traits were solely brought up to deny me my ethnicity, which i will not tolerate. it all boils down to racism and colorism in the end, believing all people of a certain ethnicity look the same, which just... isn't a good look, regardless of what you're using it for. nevermind the majority of people throwing a fit were not indigenous americans so they doubly so don't get to decide who is indigenous and who isn't. people are allowed to be mad when people deny that they are what they are.
