Incredibly proud of Finn for this. With all the sexual abuse/harrasment going around in Hollywood it’s so refreshing to see someone so young take a stand against this.

I saw a comment earlier that said "the Aztecs are Spanish".... do people even go to school?
That reminds me, when will people finally realize that Spanish people are WHITE EUROPEANS? Stop calling brown people Spanish or expecting to see a brown person when Spanish people are mentioned. Christopher Columbus, the maniac who committed genocide against brown folk, came to the Americas on behalf of Spain with a Spanish crew. The Spaniards are the ones who colonized most indigenous people in North & South America. There were no Spanish people in the Americas before 1492. Spaniards are indigenous to Europe, hope I made it clear enough.

Dear non-natives,
Native people are united in many ways but there is no such thing as a collective “native culture.
A DNA test saying you have native blood does not mean you’re native. Blood does not give you a claim to the hundreds of native cultures that exist. Blood quantum as what determines who is native is a settler colonist idea. Stop.
If you take a DNA test and it comes back saying you have some native blood or if you find out you had a native ancestor and your response is "how can I profit off this” then you’re a piece of shit. You don’t give a fuck about native people and it’s obvious.
I get so many messages asking how people can get a tribal card to get scholarships. If you’re one of these people then I have zero respect for you. You have no problem using native claim for profit while you could care less about native struggles.
“But I have a lot in common with native culture” no, no you do not. Again, there are hundreds of native cultures, not just one. Your fascination of the more popularized aspects of only a handful of these cultures does not give you a connection. Thinking something is cool is not a connection. Blood quantum does not give you a connection.
I’m using this message I got last night as example but this is something I deal with a lot.
#dearnonnatives we can always tell when you love our cultures but could care less about our peoples.
