Yesterday I briefly saw the most rancid take that started with “saying this for no reason in particular” even though it was obviously about idadeerz Indo post (shared it yesterday I believe), where this asshat tried to argue that if your cultural background got successfully flattened into “white enough” by white supremacy, then you should just be happy about your privilege and not connect with your ancestral culture.
I was going to comment about how this sounded completely antithetical to arguments like ending Blood Quantum, and also like. It’s agreeing with white supremacy than you can breed the ethnicity out of people not considered white (yet). And like, if indigenous cultures are dying then white-passing descendants kind of need to get involved to keep them alive because the government in the Americas at least successfully caused a lot of groups/tribes to end up in-breeding.
And then the post vanished on me. Not sure if they realized the hornet’s nest they kicked posting that in the glabal feed tag and some of the same tags as idadeerz, or if I was pre-emptively blocked because of the comment I’d already left on idadeerz post about my partner being adrift from their Tsalagi heritage by choice of the government. I don’t remember their @ to find out for sure which it was.
