You're Dead Wrong. The Indigenous Woman was Right
The Native Woman is trying to protect the integrity of her culture. Indigenous people for centuries have had their culture mocked and white washed & degraded. Suddenly, it's cool to be associated with Indigenous And people want in on that shine. Before it's appreciation, make sure that very WHITE COUPLE has lived the Indigenous experience, they've assisted the Indigenous community and spoken aside Indigenous People on the issues surrounding their community.Slytherin will help you on your way to greatness!!!

If you don’t mind me asking...What race are you? You seem to be pretty defensive on this topic and cultural appropriation.

I've never had to identify my "race" to anyone in my life because thank God I'm not plagued with White Entitlement where I live.And BTW, "What race are you" is very offensive. Must I be part of a race to identify & understand the harm they suffer at the hands of another Culture?Rubbish.

I was asking because as RoxStar said a lot of white people feel the need to play the role of White Savior even when something isn’t that serious. Especially in terms of cultural appropriation.No, I’m not saying to need to be indigenous to see what they’re going through. Nice try though.

pick a username and stick to it ...And you are either woefully stupid, or you think we are, if you actually believe you don't live in an area where there is white entitlement, or that you've never been asked your ethnicity.
And it absolutely does make a difference what your race/ethnicity, especially when you start trying to tell people of other races what they should think or feel.

You are aware of the fact that those aren't the same people, right? Your attitude is so narrow-minded. You cannot blame people who were born decades later for what other people did. It's like blaming a newborn German baby for the second World War.And what is "THE indigenous experience"? There are many different indigenous people with completely different languages and cultures.

So, I you didn't comprehend any of what I just said?And I wasn't blaming anyone, I was pointing very harmful practices that are still being felt today. While also explaining in very great detail what taking a name from customs of which you know nothing of its complexities is more than just APPROPRIATION, it's BLOODY DISRESPECTFUL.

You are disrespectful.

excuse me ...I don't need you to "educate" me. I know all of that.
Are you assuming that all indigenous people think the same exact way about this? Sure looks like it. Are you assuming we all SHOULD hold the exact same view? Looks like that too.
Are you assuming I, as an indigenous person, don't know any better and need your enlightenment? Looks that way.Take a good hard look in the mirror before you start spouting off and trying to act like the Great White Savior. I swear, you are like a parody of that.

Wrong on both counts. And I'm certainly not WHITE, thank goodness

Wow, you really are tone deaf. FYI, saying "I'm certainly not WHITE, thank goodness" is really offensive.

Why “thank goodness”?

thank goodness ...She was so clever to be able to arrange not to be white?She's acting "white" in the very worst sense of that odious expression.

You’re so ignorant to culture it’s astonishing to me.Grow up. Absolutely nothing wrong with being white, and there’s nothing wrong with being proud of your culture. I hope one day you snap out of your close-mindedness and hero complex and travel the world while learning more about different peoples cultures. Gate keeping cultures definitely isn’t smart either.

whatever ...You're acting like a caricature of white savior complex. And no matter what color you ar, you are off base and out of line to try and tell me my people's history/struggle and how I should feel.
