#bc y'all were so fucking racist it was unreal

[kleefairy]

so since a while back there was that whole thousands of graves from residential schools in canada news a while back and people finally decided to remember the pain and suffering indigenous people have been forced to go through...

hey guys remember when simblr had a racist bitch fit bc indigenous ppl don’t all perfectly fit in to their disney’s pocahontas stereotype? remember when y’all were totally down with validating colonization and genocide by calling people “white natives” and saying with your whole chests that anyone who doesn’t “look indigenous” (and what, exactly, do indigenous people look like?) isn’t allowed to claim their ancestry, race, ethnicity, and culture.

anyways not-so-friendly reminder that indigenous americans (and aboriginal australians honestly bc same shit different continent, the systematic destruction of indigenous people and their cultures was practically universal) were the victims of genocide in the form of residential schools, ripping children - esp mixed raced children - from their families, cultural erasure, and heavy attempts to “breed out the savage” by breeding in white european traits over multiple generations. not-so-friendly reminder that indigenous americans come in every race and shade, from white to asian to black to visibly mixed to every other phenotype under the sun. not-so-friendly reminder that this is due to hundreds of years of oppression, destruction, and - i must add - forced marriage (and rape) of indigenous women to white european men and, then, kidnapping of their lighter-skinned children to forcibly adopt them to white christian families in order to systematically destroy every last vestige of indigenous culture and blood ties. not-so-friendly reminder of the thousands of murdered and missing indigenous women and children who are never found (or only found decades later through sheer luck alone) because of racism, police violence (ever heard of starlight tours?), and fucked up law loopholes that allow this bullshit?

do you guys remember all that? ‘cos i do. i have to. some of y’all need to sit and think for a fucking minute before you open your mouths, and do fucking better. if the people who think this kind of bullshit had their way, there would be no indigenous people left.
