Imagine pretending to be Puerto Rican coz I am actually Puerto Rican (meaning she’s related to me on my white moms side) but saying the wrong town when your boyfriend asks where we are from
Edit
Dads from Paloma’s

I was talking to my Tia on my dads side about how one of our great grandmas was from Yucatán Mexico (we’re Puerto Rican so it was a shock to me) and she goes “I know” 😒
“Many white feminists have claimed that Indians are not respecting"freedom of speech"by demanding that whites stop promoting and selling books that exploit Indian spirituality. However, promotion of this material is destroying freedom of speech for Native Americans by ensuring that our voices will never be heard…. Feminists must make a choice, will they respect Indian political and spiritual autonomy, or will they promote materials that are fundamentally racist under the guise of “freedom of speech””

Man I hope they cancel standardized testing, any education professional can tell you it’s a bunch of useless horseshit that does nothing except make students and teachers miserable while utterly failing to accurately gauge understanding.
This Wikipedia section is a little bit misleading. In the 1920s and 1930s, universities didn't need the pretense of a standardized test to refuse admission to Black students—they were openly refused admission on the basis of their race. Sweatt v. Painter wasn't until 1950, and Brown v. Board of Education wasn't until 1954.
The SATs were originally primarily intended to ferret out any Jewish students who could masquerade as white, but lacked some of the cultural knowledge that the SATs tested for.
There were often race-based quotas at the time (for example, Milton Winternitz, Dean of Yale medical school from 1920 to 1935, explicitly instructed the admissions committee to "[n]ever admit more than five Jews, take only two Italian Catholics, and take no blacks at all"), and the main concern was that additional Jewish students would be able to sneak in.
Since there is a significant percentage of Jews that we might today call "functionally white" or "conditionally white" based solely on appearance, Jewish "infiltration" into white cultural spaces and ultimately into the white gene pool through intermarriage has long been considered the beginning of the end—the gateway to complete freedom of interracial marriage and raising interracial children and ultimate "destruction" of whiteness/white purity.
Unfortunately for the white supremacists, Stanley Kaplan figured out how to game the system, race-based quotas and school segregation are now illegal, the SATs (still far from perfect) have been re-worked multiple times to be somewhat less discriminatory, and slowly but surely we're infiltrating everything 😘
(But yes absolutely I am still ready at a moment's notice to destroy ETS and CollegeBoard. It's still like. a bad system.)
Personal essays being a requirement of college applications was ALSO used to “out” Jews, while simultaneously allowing well-connected gentiles with poorer GPAs to get in.
If I recall correctly, the Dean of Yale Medical School in the 1930s had a very specific, hardline admissions rule: “Admit no more than five Jews, and no [Black students] at all.” It wasn’t just the medical school, either; Yale had a quota on Jewish students until the 1960s (as did McGill in Canada).
Instead of learning from their history, many of elite schools have opted to repeat it by placing new quotas on Asian students. To quote this article by Jason L. Riley:
Back then, Harvard argued that Jews were excellent students with deficient personalities. Their social characteristics were described as “different” and “peculiar.” They were accused of being clannish and focusing on their studies to a fault. Harvard maintained that it was trying to create a certain type of environment on campus, and Jews were a poor fit… Harvard is still making that argument, and the courts are still indulging it. In her ruling, Judge Burroughs writes that a “partial cause” of racial disparities in admissions rates is that “Asian American applicants’ disproportionate strength in academics comes at the expense of other skills and traits that Harvard values.” She says it’s “possible” that the Asian applicants “did not possess the personal qualities that Harvard is looking for at the same rate as white applicants.”
Meanwhile, here in the UK, colleges at Oxford and Cambridge are finally being called out for failing to offer places to Black students, to the point where they’re actually discouraging those students from bothering to apply at all. This article from 2017 said “Only three Oxford colleges and six Cambridge colleges made at least one offer of an undergraduate place to a black British A-level student in each of the six years between 2010 and 2015.” (A-Levels are the exams used for uni placements in the U.K., they don’t have the SAT).
Anyway, this is a long way of saying same century, different bullshit.

Might sound odd but if you aren’t tiktok has an amazing Indigenous community
Planning a trip to Puerto Rico might actually do me some good. Take my children and husband and go visit my family. It might help with my mental clarity and just some stuff I’ve been dealing with. Finding out your best friend is a pretendían can fuck with your psyche a bit I only recently found out because she was living with me from October to April and saw photos of her dad.
How should I go about calling out someone who has lied to be about being Indigenous. Especially when this person became a personal friend of mine. It almost feels like she’s trying to steal my identity
Also to add in she’s claiming her father is 7/8th indigenous and Puerto Rico but her dads family came from Europe. She’s even got her boyfriend thinking she’s Puerto Rican and when I have in the past tried calling her out he called me a liar and tried to say my dad was hers but I literally look like my dad. This situation has been going on for months and I just remembered my log in for this blog to be able to come vent and rant about this.

Frequently I encounter non Native folks who tell me they think reservations are some form of reparatoins to Natives from the US government. I even had someone close to me tell me they thought reservations were places to “reserve” our cultures.
Where I’m from (South Dakota) reservations were concentration camps where they sent us to die after they stole and colonized all of the land every US citizen occupies. In the early SD Rez days our ppl had to get permission from district agents (white settler men) to get food, fix our homes, or even leave our community to travel to another community on our Rez to visit relatives. We couldn’t hunt cuz they killed millions of our buffalo. If we didn’t get permission from the white settler agent we couldn’t eat, fix our homes or visit relatives because we would be violating US law & could be arrested. Also our cultures & ceremonies were illegal under US law until the Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978.
So plz educate the ppl you love and care abt because everyone in the USA is living in an illegal settler colony, Indigenous ppl survived their genocide & we’re her to say these settlers never gave af abt us & never will.
