I get that we “american” ndns get triggered by headdresses but y’all are speaking over actual indigenous Caribbean folx tryna tell y’all Carnival and this headdress are apart of their culture. The person in the photo is a black Trinidad/indig person. We gotta sit this one out.
No matter the terrible words to describe it the facts are,
1.carnival isn’t Coachella and isn’t synonymous with settlers appropriating our culture.
2. It’s not our culture
3. Stop speaking over indigenous Caribbean folx
4. We getting triggered just to be triggered
Just as we tell ppl google is free, google is FREE. @demilina__ has done a lot of free education as an indig/Caribbean person tonight. We owe them the same respect as we ~demand~
