the stereotypes you are referring to is prejudice, not racism. racism = prejudice + power white people do not experience racism because they are the oppressive power. (also, why should people be perfectly nice towards their oppressors?) You put this on a post.. But you are saying why should people from other cultures have to be nice to whites well then why should whites be nice back? It should be about equal respect not about disliking one another

oppressed groups are not obligated to be nice to their oppressors. Can you imagine telling me to be nice to my rapist; we are both human, and if I want respect I should give it, right? No. I am not nice to people who harm me on purpose to keep me in submission. White people, as a power structure, are the oppressive power.
please calm down

You are attempting to silence me, a Native person (a Cherokee person), which is an act of racism on your part. You are attempting to exert your white privilege into silencing me. That photo, and the actual event, is racist and promotes genocide and white supremacy. You defended it. Instead of trying to silence me why don’t you take some time to research the Trail of Tears, and why it is such a triggering subject and not okay thing to “joke” about, and listen to actual Native people who are speaking out against the racism they face instead of defending the racism against us?
hi, cherokee descendant here, fuck you and your thin skin
notice how you’re alive? notice how you have citizenship? notice how you have gaifnul employment? notice how you’re not murdered for your ethnicity?
yeah, shut the fuck up jokes are jokes and you’re just a fucking cunt
When I was seven my molester raped me while calling me his “dirty, little squaw”. I may not have been murdered for being Native American but I died that day in a way. My grandmother was stabbed to death(46 stabs) by a white supremacist woman. Just because I have a job and am not murdered doesn’t justify the genocide my people face(d).
genocide is not a joke.
you are upholding white supremacy by defending the act of racism depicted in that photo. You are promoting genocide against Native Americans and racism against us. You do this while claiming to be Cherokee.
Second week of high school two boys approached me in an isolated hallway and rubbed their penises on me and put their hands in my bra while shoving me against the wall. They were laughing and then a bunch of guys walked in and called me a slut and "mami" and laughed along. The same guys a year later saw my cuts and made memes and pictures about it and spread it all over facebook. Yeah. I just wanted to vent.

This is so sad, so terribly sad. I am so sorry you experienced such a horrifying attack, and then to be further abused by them mocking your pain. I hope you have someone you can talk to and I am so proud of you for opening up in this ask. It can be too scary to type it out but you are surviving, you are showing your strength.

yes, the white man raped, pillaged, slaughtered, enslaved, and ruined millions of lives, villages, and cultures. Did he do it because white people are evil? No. Ignorant, power hungry, and incapable of understanding that which they fear? Probably, but not evil.

Why care about what us white people wear for halloween so much? Why can't you simply ignore it? If anyone wants to be an indian let us. Stop criticizing...

Even if I ignore it I will be affected by the outcome of these racist actions. Native people will be affected by these racist costumes. Dressing up as an “Indian / Native American” reduces hundreds of Native cultures into one racist stereotype; this is dehumanizing. When a group (or race) is viewed as subhuman violence and oppression towards that group is inevitable (and in this case continuous).
Your actions, and the actions of others impersonating an entire race, affect an entire race of people. You are attempting to silence Native peoples and downplay this serious issue, but you are in the wrong.
I’m sorry but… I don’t see how any of this affects you in any way other than it hurts your feelings. What people wear should not A) be any of your concern B) matter to anyone but the person wearing them C) be incapable of being ignored. It isn’t like they run up an slap you because you ignored what they were wearing. People wearing a strip of fabric here, some fringe there, maybe some paint, throw in a feather…. It’s not affecting you, it’s not affecting me. All it does is hurt a feeling here and there.
Racist stereotypes are harmful because they are dehumanizing. When a person wears a “Native American” costume they are promoting the dehumanization of Native peoples by continuing to further stereotype us. There are more than 500 Native cultures but these racist costumes reduce into one stereotype.
Often times these costumes are sexualized which promotes the fetishization of Native women. 1 in 3 Native women will be raped at least once in their lifetime, 85% of these rapes will be performed by non-Native individuals. The media, which includes these racist costumes, portray Native women as primitive sex objects and promote dangerous fetishes of Native women. I, as a rape survivor, was affected by this fetishization. While I was being raped the rapist called me his “little squaw” and “dirty squaw”.
Many costumes depict a person wearing a fake warbonnet. The warbonnet is a sacred item that must be earned and is still practiced today by a few Plains Native tribes. When someone wears a fake warbonnet they are desecrating that sacred item and mocking and stereotyping the people they are stealing it from; even if that is not the person’s intent it is the outcome. This is most offensive when it is done by a white person because they are the oppressive group over Native peoples (and people of color). A white person can exert their white privilege by stealing sacred items and wearing racist costume only to discard them when they are done. In other words, they want to have all the “perks” without any of the negative aspects of being Native; such as, experiencing oppression, high suicide rates, high rape rates, poverty, etc etc. Not only are white people our past and current oppressors but they committed a genocide of Native people which killed around 100 million Native people. So, not only are we still oppressed, and wear the scares of our people, and see the pain in our grandparents eyes, but we get to be stereotyped and mocked by our oppressors.

No. It is called forced assimilation. I am Native American. My people were forced into speaking English by white people. Many of us had our languages beaten, raped, and tortured out of us. I should go into long details and provide links but I don’t think it will help you. You aren’t ready to care about anyone but yourself yet. Hopefully someday you will become a more caring person.
He didn’t want my Mohawk name, he wanted an English name. He said for the court records, we have to have another name, a Canadian name, so that they can check to see if I have a record… They said they would release all the women—except me. So we were all sent back downstairs to the holding cells and one lawyer came in and took me in another room. He says, “You’re gonna be the only woman left here. They’re gonna take you back to Farnham. There’s soldiers there, they can do things to you, beat you up or rape you or whatever. It doesn’t look like they’ll release you today.” I said, well, I’m here for a reason. I’m not here just to do what they want, just because the prosecutor wants to change my name! He left and I went back into the holding cell with the other women. The other lawyer came down, called me to the front of the cell. He says, “You! You could get out today, if you give an English name.” I said, they took enough from us! We’ve been through enough and you want me to give another name just to satisfy the courts?
For people following the Elsipogtog Mi’kmaq First Nation anti-fracking protest, My Name is Kahentiiosta is on Netflix.
It focuses on the Oka Crisis, the result of the town of Oka’s efforts to develop a golf course on land that had traditionally been a Mohawk burial ground. (See also: The Ipperwash Crisis.)
I know it’s fun to think of Canada as that ‘sweet apartment above a meth lab,’ as Robin Williams recently put it, but they’re still just looking for any old excuse to kill First Nations people.
I mean, Aboriginal women are seven times more likely than other women to be killed, and even the UN has recommended “a national inquiry into the ‘disturbing phenomenon’ of missing and murdered Aboriginal women,” but the government responded, “LOL, actually, it’s no biggie.“ The Canadian ambassador to the UN even had the gall to elaborate: "Canada is proud of its human-rights record, and our peaceful and diverse society.”
See, that’s the thing about renting an apartment above a meth lab: nobody’s gonna notice if you’ve been cooking meth, too.

7, thanks so much for asking *sarcasm*
I hate rape as much as the next person, but people on Tumblr are both annoying and stupid about it. I agree that people need to be informed on not raping, but rape will always occur. You are an idiot if you really think that there is a way to get rid of rape…
Any of the times… maybe stop putting yourself in the position you were raped.. idk they if you have been raped then there is a higher chance you will again. But that seems ridiculous. Feel like take a rape prevention class or stop going to place you went before. Insanity(doing the same thing over and over expecting a new outcome) help stop insanity.. and change up your routine.
trteal89 you, too, are blaming the victims of rape rather than the rapist. If we (rape victims) stop going to the places where we were raped or places like the places we were raped where are we allowed to go? How quickly will no where be a safe space for us to be? People get raped in their own homes, on the street, in buildings, in stores, in schools, etc etc etc. Stop blaming the victims and put the responsibility where it belongs.
What I was reffering to, were the Women and Men.. who are “blind-sided” in a bar or club scenario… as far as the stores malls schools… the men or women that rape should have their worlds flipped inside out… remember that they will get what is coming to them. I know not all rapists are caught or have horrible things done to them. But blame is on both parties 99.99:.01 I do not think that rape is preventable but if we were better at listening to people and stop being lazy friends and neighbors this type of situation could be nailed before it gets to the point where they commit. For everything awfull we do there are signs. They should teach these signs in schools and colleges.. it should be mandatory in the military and it should carry the death penalty if done and convicted. This alone I think will slow down if not stop this humongous problem we obviously have. By now you are probably wondering where the .01 part comes in… it comes from everyone who is not paying attention to the surroundings and making good decsions taking the time to know people. And making sure that alcohol is nowhere to be found if coitus is to be had or might be had. Sorry if it sounds bad but this is just my opinion.
blaming the victim in any way is wrong.
and you are still blaming the victims.
it’s our faults for not being more observant and defensively trained? No, it’s not our jobs to live in a bubble always expecting the worst. It isn’t fair to put any blame on the victims. Even people who would fit into your ideal victim can be a victim. People who are observant, trained in self defense, who are strong, and are in safe places, can get raped, and do.
you only saw the part where i paced a very insignificant blame on people who should always be on the look out i am and i havent been raped im not that only people who were raped should keep a look out that is human nature to watch your 6, why do make it seem like it another task for you to do or that it will be too much to look twice before crossing the street. and i said that being convicted of rape should carry the death penalty you say nothing to that. why do you feel remorse for them, or are you just stuck on the blame? this is a conversation do not in any way think i am yelling or arguing. talking is how people hear about things and become more educated.
I read all that you wrote. You put .1% of the blame on the victim and that is wrong, invalid, and victim blaming.
I think all rapists should be killed. but that is not what I want to focus on. You blamed the victims and that is very damaging.

yes it is true; 1 in 3 Native women will be raped at least once in their lifetime. And I have seen two differing material stating that 75-85% of those rapes will be committed by non-Natives. Very disturbing. Also, keep in mind that many rapes are unreported.
