Has anyone else had to sit through a Zoom meeting that started with something called a "land statement"? I just did. The person running it is based in LA. There was a whole spiel about how they're "standing on the ground" in Los Angeles. (Which was stupid - they were sitting in a chair) and LA is home to the most indigenous people in the US.

This MUST mean they're counting mestizos as indigenous, because there are almost no Tongva people, actually pre-Columbus inhabitants of SoCal, left alive. They almost all died out and the rest mostly assimilated and intermarried. So they're not only letting spics claim some kind of general brown people oppression. They also want us to treat Mexican groups the same way we treat Native Americans.

Call me crazy, Native Americans get some privileges because the US gov't fucked them over for so long and lied in treaties. Mexican indigenous groups can't claim that. Why would we fucking make a statement about how great and special and important they are before what amounts to a work training?

Why are all of these retarded faggots in charge?

That's not what I said though. I said it was it was considered taboo by the English. This was due to their religious mores. There were indeed instances of intermarriage, but these English were chiefly ostracized within the community. Contrarily, with both the French and Spanish, it was far more prevalent. Both these countries were heavily influenced by Catholicism, which teaches the 'Universal man' doctrine. This was not prevalent in England and several other northern European nations.
