Y’ALLLLL it’s the end of an era and i made a new IG acc (@andyelamorcito) bc IG is ugly and smooth brained. pls share and rt so i can gain my mutuals back 🤲🏽
you can always rely on the west to suck every last bit of color out of indigenous cultures. anyways here’s some actual examples of regalia from nahuatl speaking communities
so close! it was indigenous peoples of the ‘americas’ who transformed maize over generations of cultivation and ingenuity. this was no lab experiment babes, it’s a testament of our sustainability. hope this helps 💕

disappointed but not surprised this narrative is making the round like clockwork. “los angeles” has never belonged to the US, mexico or spain. it is unceded tongva territory. it even says “mexican settlers” which should be an indicator but i digress.
Los Ángeles es la segunda ciudad más poblada de Estados Unidos por detrás de Nueva York. Fue fundada un 4 de septiembre de 1781 por Felipe de Neve, un militar español nacido en Bailén (Jaén) en 1724. Pertenecía a España.

cishet latinos/latinas will writhe and thrash like cranky toddlers at the sight of the letters e and x but not direct even an ounce of outrage at the rampant machismo, homophobia, anti blackness, and anti indigeneity in their community. priorities…🤭
juan is tsotsil maya, not latino, not mexican. he is an indigenous man and one of many individuals from migrant maya families who are at the crossroads of being persecuted not only by the U.S but by colonial nations like mexico and guatemala that don’t protect our people at all.
grown ass adults trying to justify this lol…a nation of apathetic buck-toothed snow roaches stuck in the middle ages but somehow they’re the ‘civilized’ ones
this and the “uncut latinos” version floating around are pmo, it’s gross to see y’all reduce undocumented communities being ripped apart to using it as an opportunity to air out your racial fetishes. black, indigenous, caribbean, asian and arab migrants are ALSO being targeted.
not seeing enough folks mention that maría ríos is a mixtec woman from oaxaca. indigenous women in LatAm are disproportionately affected by sexual violence and the ongoing femicide crisis. this isn’t shocking for a man who comes from a culture of machismo.
“took” mexico does not own this swath of land either. mexico is a settler colonial state and this land was and IS the land of countless indigenous nations. this was a transfer of occupation and MX continues to oppress indigenous populations today.
