I'm a whiteskin and I'd wear it.

[–] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 34 points 11 months ago

It would hit a little different if you wore it

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure if a white person wears it, it might be taken as a more white power thing than a mocking thing. I think it would be hilarious to wear, but I don't want to send the wrong message.

"I told you not to turn around."

You made me rewatch that scene ... as Indigenous people, my friends and I had used to howl in laughter whenever Indians appeared in the Simpsons ... I know those voices are stereotypical and non-PC any more ... but whenever I get together with close friends, I always put on that voice and talk about 'the land', 'the birds' and 'the ways of our ancestors' with terrible English just for laughs ... thanks for reminding of all this

"Why did a vision of MY future include a story about Homer and Lincoln's gold?"

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

What about a logo with an Indian using a Caucasian t-shirt?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah this is hilarious, I'd want a shirt like that

[–] spacecadet@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yep no offense taken

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's the point. It highlights how the lack of hundreds of years of oppression and murder matter to how things are interpreted.

[–] spacecadet@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Assuming just because I’m white my ancestors haven’t experienced the same. Dude, read a book.

[–] Ado@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yes, you can see the ongoing oppression by all the white people stuck in reservations.
