What is going on with the world??

[dinodaddy-deactivated20221014]

Jesus…

In a move that has sparked outcry from archaeologists, historians and locals, the Peruvian government has approved a multi-billion international airport near the famed site of Machu Picchu, Peru’s single most important tourist destination. Bulldozers have begun to clear millions of tons of earth for the project, which will be located in Chinchero, a picturesque Inca town.

Building the airport in this location will destroy an ancient landscape, one shaped by the Incan people with terraces and routes.

Critics also suggest that planes flying low over the nearby village of Ollantaytambo and its archaeological park filled with ruins and a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces, would cause incalculable damage to fragile Inca ruins there and destroy the peace and beauty of the area.

The new airport will make access to the site much easier, and thus encourage greater numbers than ever before to visit.

But Machu Picchu is already overwhelmed by almost double the limit of tourists as recommended by UNESCO. [see also India’s Taj Mahal - an incredible site simply reeling under a relentless, ineffectively managed tourist, both domestic and international, onslaught]

It’s the constant battle between protecting the past and profiteering from it.

PLEASE REBLOG!

hey! peruvian here

to be completely honest, there is probably nothing anyone can do about this at this point because it has been in the works since the 90’s. as you can most likely tell, our government is a fucking joke. still, this needs international attention. a lot of it. this is my country’s history, culture and one of the most beautiful things we have to offer at risk.

our best bet is at the very least causing somewhat global outrage to spread awareness and perhaps make this into something bigger amongst the middle and upper class people in the central cities as sadly the lower class and indigenous citizens (the majority of the country’s population) go widely ignored by the government and the former (middle and upper class) tend to also ignore shit unless they perceive it as affecting them directly

twitter trending is usually like number 3 or 2 being like "a nuclear bomb went off directly in the white house" and number 1 being like kpop stans celebrating jong kook for having a bowel movement

[owoesbian]

op mayb dont make fun of korean names especially if ur white

like this doesnt feel like a mind blowing idea but that's just...that's just racism?? if u want to make fun of kpop stans go for it but dont b fucking racist lmao

[owoesbian]

like. oh my god i cant believe i have to say this but making fun of racist ppl (woobification and fetishization of asian men) by being racist (purposefully mispronouncing/misspelling asian names for humor instead of ignorance) isnt okay

[swurp]

you're young so I'll assume you mean well and I can understand having a guarded reaction to this post and what you said is all true but like

it's literally his name

[owoesbian]

i assure you op is talking about well known bts star jungkook, because bts is a well known current group

[owoesbian]

@ratsofftoya it doesnt actually clarify at all- unintentional or not you did engage in a like... well documented racist act toward asian ppl?? and like. even though it wasnt your intention you're still actively contributing to stereotyping and it shouldnt be explained off as "appearing to come off that way",,,you just. as a white person you Just Did a Racist Thing. it doesnt matter if you intended to or not you still did it! so own up to it, apologize for *doing it* (and DONT apologize for me interpreting something that is racist as...well, racist), and either change or delete the post lmao

[gordonfreemanreal]

@ratsofftoya​ hey just gonna put my two cents in uh

op just apologize and don’t put the “you’re young so i don’t have to listen to you” card. when poc tell you you’re being racist you fucking apologize no questions asked. clownass. 

also like. you cannot say what is and isn’t racist. you may not have meant to be, but you did a racist action. at this point you are making yourself look like a fucking racist dipshit, so put your white guilt down.

 and can the white/non-asian people in the notes stop fucking giving them the benefit of the doubt. you do not know what’s racism against asian people and you never will. 

thanks! -the only person with actual fucking common sense in this conversation, apart from owoesbian
