if i had a nickel every time a prominent slavic person (activist, artist, scientist...), especially a woman, has their slavic origin and identity erased by the western world, i could buy a fucking island and build a giant golden statue of Maria Skłodowska-Curie on it.

Slovenian (right) and Serbian (left) Miku from Bela Krajina region (White Carniola) 🇸🇮 or dare I say, Belokranjska Miku

(My Part in the Miku trend on Twitter)

EDIT: Since I've seen some confusion about this; Bela Krajina is a region in Slovenia with a distinct culture and clothing style. The majority of the population are ethnically Slovene (here represented by the Miku on the right, "Slovenian Miku"), however there is a minority ethnic Serb population (also sometimes referred to as Orthodox Uskoki) who have lived in Bela Krajina since the 16th century and who have their own distinct folk clothing style (here represented by the Miku on the left, "Serbian Miku"). I wanted to include both of them because I find the cultural diversity of Bela Krajina really fascinating (and based on my experience, people in Bela Krajina are really proud of their diversity too!) and because the Serb minority in Bela Krajina is really small nowadays and often forgotten.
