Native Tumblr - Tumblr Posts
Yo, just a btw that the racial context I was born is the Brazilian one, and we identify races by appearance, not for background, like in the us for example. So I got the same appearance as my mom, confirmed black + indigenous, which makes me also susceptible to being read like that, take that and the fact that indigenous folks from Brazil have pretty much different features compared to folks from the north america (might be important to the post, idk) into consideration when reading this post, ty. <3
So, I jus found out that I am basically an afro-indigenous person.
And that makes quite sense, because why did me and my mama (who I gots my appearance from) looked black, but at the same time the black was off? African features mixed with native ones.
Why are my eyes almond looking and a bit “torn” in the ends? Indigenous feature.
Why is my lower lip as wide as my grandmother's and my upper lip as thin as my grandfather's? Ask the universe why they mixed it like that.🤷🏽♀️
Why is my hair straight on the root but goes to an almost black powered 3c in less than 2 seconds? A mixture of both ancestries, my mom has that too!
Honestly, my race and looks makes so much more sense now, because I'd be like “girl, wtf am I, I think I'm black..?” and not anymore, now.
I've chosen the 3th one, and added a lil solidarity complementation. (ID's are on Alt texts)

The version I made on gacha life:
Ngl, I'm looking at my image too much m I'm starting to cringe. 😭 If y'all see this, y'all lucky, cuz I get 2nd hand embarrassment from myself too easily.

United Stadians need to learn the difference between race, ethnicity and nationality. Like, urgently.
Hey, can y'all please recommend me resources so I can educate myself on social issues, like queerphobia, patriarchy, racism, ableism, etc?
Mostly and preferred to be PDFs, articles, educational videos and related, btw, I can't buy any physical book, becuz parents and money and that kinda stuff, yk.
The fact that racists forcibly miscegenated the Brazilian population, as a attempt to make us a white country, just to say, in the next second, that the mixture of races, that is an obvious result of this method of eugenics, is the origin of “our inferiority and ignorance” would be hilarious if it wasn't fucking tragic.
Reverse Racism; A much needed article/informative post, because if I see another racially illiterate mofo watering down racism to “just another discrimination, I'm gonna fucking combust.
Main source is The Conversation's article on this topic. Content warning for mentioning of discrimination and neo-nazism.
Ah, yes. Racism, that infamous word. This important word needed to help us understand the social relations that are affected with this element.
It is a very great watershed, indeed. Specially because of one controversial topic: Reverse Racism. But what is reverse racism, after all?
Reverse racism is the idea that racism can happen to white people and that white people can/are affected by racist violence by (normally) non-white people. In other words, a myth.
“But Angelle, ain't racism discrimination based on race? Wouldn't that include discrimination against white people as well?” Great question, little grasshopper, but this definition is actually wrong.
Sure, racism does involve a huge discrimination element, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The correct definition for racism is Prejudice + Power. More specifically, institutional power. Racism is, at it's core, an institution and an structure, made to protect and put white people at advantage.
And this is basically it. Reverse racism does not exist, and if you believe it does, you are either naïve and racially illiterate, at best, or a whole white supremacist, at worst.
Iiihh, are ya surprised? Well, don't be, because this rethoric of anti-white racism is a racist and a neo-nazi belief. Many white supremacists across the world use phrases like “white lives matter”, “all lives matter” (that one a little bit tricky, because all lives indeed matter; but here's the thing, that is what the anti racist movement is here for! And the women's liberation movement! And the mogai activism! The “all lives matter” does nothing but take the focus away from minorities subtly, so it's real important to pay attention.), “It's ok to be white”, and nanananana, and this kind of shenanigans. Many of them are also dog whistles (see Anti Defamation League's dog whistles glossary for more information).
In conclusion, reverse racism does not exist. It's just another racist rethoric, and y'all need to learn to listen to people of colour when we say something is bullshit. Thank you for coming to my ted talk and have a great day.
Honestly, non-white people should come back to Tumblr, but idk how we gon do it, cuz ppl from sites like tiktok, twitter, etc., would cause a huge cultural shock that would lead to huge discourses and white ppl would just blame non-white people for it, because yeah, white folks love to be softcore racists and then play victim.
