These are just a few painful examples. If a Native community claims its children and grandchildren, it’s not the business of non-Natives to question that.
Being white-passing is a luxury in the sense that white-passing Natives can blend in, and aren’t mistreated as badly as their dark skinned relatives.
But when you see someone mocking a Native person for looking white, just remember they’re actually REINFORCING racist imperialism.
