Is that really all that is happening though?
There is a trend that glorifies native populations over colonizers and it has been going on for years now, said trend is pretty often just thinly veiled racism. I don't think it's insecurity as much as awareness.
- alexb_ 3y agoI don't think "glorifying" victims over oppressors is "thinly veiled racism". Colonizer isn't a race.
- throwawaymaths 3y agoas a non-member of the "primary race" it absolutely is racism.
- throwbadubadu 3y agoBut, I cannot find any trend nor glorification in this article? Even not that there is a tone of "we don't do it because it's the opposite of what racists did" thinking (as a sibling poster states).. if someone gets that impression out of this article here, imo they have a problem - or I am too ignorant?
- jonathanlb 3y agoConsidering that indigenous populations at large have been oppressed since Europeans made landfall to the Americas, a trend that interrogates their history and struggle, and celebrates their culture is a welcome change in the status quo. After all, European history, culture, and heritage is still being celebrated even as its foibles criticized, so I fail to see how one culture's sharing of the limelight with another's constitutes racism.
