miss-lee-lee-fan:leepacey:the actor playing sokka in the live action avatar: the last airbender show is white and pretending to be indigenouslink to the thread with proof “How ‘pretendians’ undermine the rights of Indigenous people” + “History of false claims to Indigenous identity” for any potential white people playing dumb about pretendians, whitewashing, and the long history of white people lying about being indigenousarchived article: the cherokee nation put out an official list in 2011 of FRAUDULENT cherokee tribes (not unrecognized tribes, but white scammers fully lying about being cherokee) that includes the “tribe” ian ousley and his white family are registered with @doesthendnlive @the-aila-test @indigenousandangry @indigidemonThe yt ppl are at it again… Part of me kind of (KIND OF) sympathizes with the kid because he just got the part of a lifetime even if he did it unethically (and even then it probably wasn’t even him, it was his agent and whoever was in charge of casting at Netflix).
