Allegedly I accused this person of being white when they're Native. Jury's still out on that one for the reasons I've listed in this thread.
Interestingly enough the bald white guy coming to his defense likes a certain unflattering familiar face so hm.... Image
And listen, look at my icon. I'm white and Native. People assume I'm white immediately. I understand the pain that comes with having your identity assumed, dismissed, erased, etc. I also understand when something seems pretty sus.
Also white men, stay the fuck in your lane for once? Image
Anyways this dude was BIG MAD for whatever reason. No white dude is ever THAT pressed about anti-Native racism and even then, what's his end game? "I'm gonna make this NATIVE WOMAN APOLOGIZE TO MY FRIEND FOR NOT THINKING HE'S NATIVE!!!!"
Dude's got problems. lol
It's the YT boy if he had hair and me if I were a dude with the right color. :P Image

Encanto is very charming but i don't like the songs. Might take a second viewing.
Bruno is so sweet { so far }
This movie is about generational trauma isn't it?

I know this is going into overkill but since I still have LE stans in my mentions insisting that nothing in this post was racist, I'm going to ask a simple question:

How exactly would you have had me handle this?

Assuming you read this, what would you have had me do instead?
Because it seems to boil down to "she did absolutely nothing racist whatsoever and I'm looking for something to be offended by" so what exactly is it that would have been acceptable to you other than shutting up and saying absolutely nothing?
I gave her the benefit of the doubt.
I gave her plenty of time to "outgrow her racism."
I tried to have a discussion.
None of that worked. None of her racist remarks and actions were apologized for.
I was ignored, talked over, dismissed, and then scoffed at in her Mask Off video

We are really expected to jump through so many hoops to give a racist the benefit of the doubt when they could just choose not to be racist.
Do i have to make a birth control allegory so the white feminists in the audience can understand?
Why do BIPOC have to go through all this fucking trouble at the expense of our health, comfort, happiness, safety, etc so you can have an easier time fucking us?

Why are you painting people who criticize her racism as lacking in empathy? Maybe if ya'll addressed her racism earlier on and maybe if she had taken it seriously instead of handling it the way she did it wouldn't have got to this point.
For all this talk about empathy you certainly don't take a moment to empathize with the people she's hurt. She doesn't deserve to be abused by an endless hoard of douchebags but we don't deserve her racist takes, her non-apologies, and her dismissal.
I'm seeing this a lot where people defending LE are saying "This is lacking in empathy" or 'this is lacking in compassion" specifically to BIWOC who address her past racism. It's this not so subtle form of shaming us for respecting our boundaries.

"Lindsay Ellis said nothing racist."

"She literally said 'The Indians wiped their own damn selves out.'"

"THAT WAS A JOKE THO."
Please whistle at night.
You guys really love moving these goalposts around.

LE doesn't mention Twilight's racism while claiming it's harmless fun? Not racist.

LE speaks over or ignores Natives who bring this to her attention? Not racist?

Something that always strikes me about the Wounded Knee Massacre besides the cruelty and horror of it was that it took place in 1890 and how NOT long ago that was.
Really think about that. 1890 is just under 30 years before World War 1, just over 50 years before World War 2. Think of it like this: children born in 1890 would've been 83 years old at the standoff at Wounded Knee in 1973.
If a child born in 1890 lived to be 100 years old that means they stayed alive up until 1990. That's the year --I-- was born.
