Like ya’ll spend so much time calling out white people for it that we actually start paying attention and then when we try its suddenly “so embarrassing” like yeah it wasn’t the case with this but how were they supposed to know what?? And now we all know some really interesting things about the shoot too??? like this person did not do a bad thing by asking if this photoshoot was appropriative????It’s bad because the question starts out with the assumption that it already is appropriation, asking for proof that it’s not instead of trying to find out why it would be.Exactly. Their and your first thought was to assume it was offensive and wrong. Guilty until proven innocent. The assumption that they were wrong with no evidence to support that suggested that you just wanted to be angry. And it costs $0 dollars to mind your own damn business.I suspect the ‘evidence’ consists of ‘she looks white’.Even though plenty of Native folks look white. I like to use Tiio Horn as an example.You like to use a Half-Mowhawk,Quarter Scot, Quarter German as your example of “…plenty of Native folks look white.” ?I’m not saying Native people can’t be white, but dude, this is a horrible example to prove your point.If she’s half-Native genetically and still looks that white, I think that’s actually supporting my point. In fact, that’s a lot higher than the standard many US tribes accept to claim ‘Native’ status, though it varies in Canada.@the-vanguard if tiio horn’s folks give their permission for her to wear mohawk regalia for a photoshoot, then yes, she’s an excellent example. hilariously, you’ve reenacted the op screencaps almost exactly, except you started with the knowledge that she is mixed race, yet your post pretty much dismisses her as an example on the basis of her appearance.Might use Pelicancity‘s example for later use. There is way too much to break down with out going too meta in a post that isn’t intended to be meta. My thoughts on this from reading this is that someone could easily read the post that way. Though honestly it’s a weak comparison from the tow. -- source link
