@georgetakei It has been true since the 1990's multiculturalism push I experienced as a kid. No matter the intent, most proponents of the movement was white authority figures who only engaged with other cultures on a surface level and encouraged either taking traditions from other cultures wholesale or mocking them for their "clearly superior American culture counterparts".

The assimilation of indigenous cultures is particularly longstanding and egregious. And part of why I feel abolishing Roe vs. Wade is stirring up Christian Nationalism: among other strategies, if they put a stranglehold on civil liberties as soon as possible and adopt or abduct children from people of color, LGBTQ couples (those who can conceive, or reverted adoptions), and undesirable political and religious opponents, they can merely breed their opposition out.

An excellent reason to join the fight with Indigenous people: expanding that playbook is always possible.
