The fact that Mestizxs use “blood quantum” to dismiss Indigenous peoples under the premises that it excludes mixed people in Latin America shows that they don’t understand the concept of Indigeneity. https://twitter.com/neoduen/status/1279676408059625472

No one is 100% Indigenous based on blood quantum. This does not exist. Indigeneity in Latin America goes beyond tribal enrollment bc we don’t have that, it involves community recognition & embracement.

These are eugenics colonialism introduced and that we don’t promote among Indigenous communities in Latin America. You have to follow your tribal protocol to be considered a part of their community.

So stop using this “we are all mixed” to silence & further oppress Indigenous peoples of Latin America. If you will like to learn more or have questions you can hire me for consultation through @pinasoulspc.

But stop dimissing Indigenous folks like @neoduen when they speak against Mestizxs & the oppression they enact under this false narrative. Educate yourself on Indigeneity in Latin America. It’s tiring for us to cont to read these harmful rethorics that perpetuate anti-Indigeneity
