forced sterilizations of Native children only stopped in 1970.
And that's because the fucking office for Native Rights was only then discovered to be sneaking in and sterilizing babies before giving them to their mothers to go home.
White queers aren't the only fucking queer people on this damn website.
Stop speaking over other queer people.
White queers are still white. And still have to overcome internalized racism and bullshit. Being queer does not erase how they're white.
Stop acting like your queerness means you can speak above POC or indigenous people.
And stop using your queer card when you get called out for racism.
Be a fucking adult and own up to when you say something shitty.
I'm done with y'all.

do you understand how racist it is to accuse someone of faking being POC because they dont act POC enough by your own white standards. good fucking gravy people.
Bigotry isn't always about hating a group of people for no reason. Often it's about not letting them make as many mistakes as priviledged people. Often it's about assuming malicious intent automatically. It is about not giving marginalised people as much leeway in what is acceptable and what is not. It's about holding them to a higher standard and punishing them more harshly for the same mistakes.

people who watch movies: my favourite director, whose movies hundreds of other people worked on, is a god king who can do no wrong
