I have for a year watched as my comments and tags have filled (despite all the wonderful comments) with non-native people discussing skin color, blood quantum, and debating the validity of lighter skin toned native americans
So let’s clear some things up
First, gene variants, even in north america skin tone variants exist. People always assume lighter skin tones must mean a mixture of native american and european genetics. But that is not that case. There have been discovered gene variants (like the one on MFSD12) for lighter skin tones only found within native american populations MEANING lighter skin tones can reflect native american ancestory only. These variants have existed even before Europeans arrived.
Second, let’s take a look at a map, and look at where the equator is located, individuals and societies who are farther from the equator have evolved overtime to have lighter skin tones to produce vitamin D more efficiently. That is the same case in North America, just like on the continent of Europe. Native Nations that are located in more northern latitudes have historically had lighter skin tones even before Europeans arrived
Third, There are more than 500 federally recognized nations within the boundaries of the United States. The idea that Native Americans as a whole are monolithic and must all have dark skin and look the same comes from stereotypes. Many non-natives have limited contact with Native Americans, instead their ideas come from appropriated images and caricatures used as mascots and offensive labels that are racial slurs like “Redskins” that serve to make non-natives believe that color is a defining aspect of being Indigenous
Then you have those Native Americans who are mixed, black and indigenous, white and indigenous. The idea that blood quantum, your percentage of “native blood” is what actually matters is an idea that has been spread by those who benefit from the statistical elimination of Native Americans and, by association, all responsibilities of the federal government to Native Americans
Skin tone is unfairly being tied to who is an “insider” and who is an “outsider” Skin color should never be used as a marker of legitimacy. I have seen light skinned Native Americans over and over again get harassed and mocked by non-natives. Online and in everyday life. The entitlement of some non-natives to think they have any say in determining who is “native enough” is extremely frustrating and hurtful
If you are basing your criteria on whether or not someone is Native American based on how likely or harshly they are going to be discriminated against by white people, then you are centering white people, when they have never and should never have anything to do with whether or not someone is Native American
For any other Native Americans reading this post, please remember that as Indigenous people, we retain the right to define ourselves and this includes a right to disentangle our sense of self from colonial ideals and definitions
This is so freaking real and more people need to see it -a very pale, non-stereotypical indig who is always getting BS whenever i bring up that i am infact, indig because of these things 😭😭😭 COLONIALISM IS BAD BOOO 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎STOP IT GRR
Also blood quantum pisses me tf off to no fucking end, isn't that just a form of eugenics??? Like um???
BE. FUCKING. NORMAL. ABOUT. ALL. OF. US.
WE DONT OWE YOU SHIT WE DONT HAVE TO LOOK LIKE ANYTHING WE DONT HAVE TO BE FUCKING "PUREBRED" WE'RE NOT FUCKING LIVESTOCK OR HORSES OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA COMPARE TO WE'RE FUCKING PEOPLE STFU
WE'RE SO DIVERSE AND THERES SO MANY OF US WITH DIFFERENT CULTURES ACROSS DIFFERENT COUNTRIES STOP TRYING TO FIT US INTO YOUR LITTLE WEIRD ASS BOX
Also these tags⬇️⬇️exactly my point
I took a two year break from social media, but I'm coming back on here to say I got to meet the cast of critical role at comic con!! and it was amazing and everything I ever hoped it would be! I even got individual photos with Laura, Ashley, and Marisha! Laura said she loved me!! I keep smiling every time I think about it! Ashley gave me a hug and I told her I loved beauyasha and she happy smiled after I said that! I was so happy and excited to meet Ashley I think I blacked out lol because I cannot remember what she said to me but I know she did speak to me after she hugged me and I said I loved beauyasha, I just cannot remember any of it because of all the nerves and excitement. I met Marisha and she was even cooler in person! I told Marisha how she inspired me to start weightlifting and she saw my arm muscles and we flexed together and she told me she was impressed and to keep up the good work!!
Every CR fan I met there was so lovely and kind. I loved seeing all the cosplay, it was so impressive! Cosplayers are so talented! It was like being surrounded by the real vox machina, bells hells, and the mighty nein everywhere I went!!
SOOOOO SICK OF BEING ONLINE MAYBE I AM AN ADDICT TO MY PHONE MAYBE THE BOOMERS WERE RIGHT!!!!!!!!! please god please please please let me go to an art museum let me lay in the sun and read a book or something oh my god I am going to KILL MY SELF !!!!!!!!!!!!! #ketodiet #indiefilm #cottagecore #style
