this isnt directed @ anyone specifically but if youre not native, dont make native blood quantum jokes or police who is native or not based on their blood quantum. dont make jokes about white ppl racefaking as native.  dont make jokes about “1/4th cherokee” ppl.  dont say “youre not really native unless youre (insert blood quantum here)” or say whitepassing people arent native.  

these things are not your place to decide or joke about, even if you mean well.  i know racefaking and white people claiming to be native for funsies is a serious issue in the native community, but it is an intra-community one, and making jokes about ppl who are mixed and native or pretend to be does more harm than good if you are not native, since non-native people should not be allowed to decide which native people are legit or not. 

if youre white and/or not native you should reblog this mayhaps
