Cruciform shapes in jewelry, or cross-shaped designs, have diverse meanings ranging from deep religious symbolism to cultural and protective amulets. The Latin cross, for example, represents the Christian crucifixion, while variations like the Celtic cross with its circle symbolize eternity. Other designs, such as ancient "Southern Cross" pendants from North Africa or ancient Cycladic figurines with outstretched arms, highlight protective or fertility beliefs.

Ethnic groups and race and hierarchies: an experimental question to the universe

Hello! This is a question for people of colour, I am not interested in hearing from white people. When responding please affirm that you're not white and also tell me which country you're in; extra points if you're also in the UK. For context, as may be obvious, I am white. I am just chucking this out there to see what happens and there is no obligation to join in with this.

So. Our makerspace in Mid Wales is creating an ~Equalities Monitoring~ form, which I think is a really good idea.

For ethnic groups, we're bouncing off from this question and answers made by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) who do the census, which is their set for Wales:

What is your ethnic group? Choose one option that best describes your ethnic group or background White 1. Welsh/English/Scottish/Northern Irish/British 2. Irish 3. Gypsy or Irish Traveller 4. Any other White background, please describe Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups 5. White and Black Caribbean 6. White and Black African 7. White and Asian 8. Any other Mixed/Multiple ethnic background, please describe Asian/Asian British 9. Indian 10. Pakistani 11. Bangladeshi 12. Chinese 13. Any other Asian background, please describe Black/African/Caribbean/Black British 14. African 15. Caribbean 16. Any other Black/African/Caribbean background, please describe Other ethnic group 17. Arab 18. Any other ethnic group, please describe

They call this question "harmonised" - they've done two years of research using lots of info from lots of organisations and concluded that this is, like, the best question and answer list.

I would really love to hear from people of colour. What do you think? Do you have any comments on the wording, the order of the answer options, etc? Please critique my government's cross-governmental research and conclusions!

To save everyone some time and energy, maybe have a skim through the fairly thorough info on the ONS page about their reasonings, just on the off-chance that what you're saying is covered there? (Then you can critique their reasoning too, which I'm actually more into.)

Also, no offence USA, but this is an issue I run into a lot: please try to bear in mind that not all countries are like the USA when answering!

This post is very experimental, I'm very new to this and curious to see what happens. Needless to say, if you're like "ughhhhhhh" feel free to comment that, and no one is obliged to Educate me, but everyone is welcome to school me. I am interested in anything you are thinking about. Reblogs are fine. Come at me, sibs.

Thank you. <3

The Tuareg, a nomadic Saharan group of Berber origin, boast a rich history dating to 5th-century B.C., thriving in harsh desert conditions. Renowned for their music, traditions, and resilience, their patriarchal society balances clan-based leadership and high regard for women. Today, challenges like desertification, conflict, and modernization threaten their cultural preservation.
