Hi, I read your spicy take and I really strongly agree. I think you're so right. I saw someone say recently that the left talking about Jews/Indigeneity have effectively weaponized blood quantum again and I think this goes along with what you're saying. Like, even if the left doesn't care about Jews, do they not realize that they're doing actual harm to other groups, too? You do not want to resuscitate blood quantum as a definition of indigeneity??

I have straight up seen people using blood quantum for actual Native North Americans seemingly without realizing. Like there was one post where someone was looking for a Native sensitivity reader but specifically wanted them to have a "native look" and not be white passing. I'm sure there's tons of examples if you ask Native people on here their experiences.

Idk I've worked with and been close friends with a lot of Native people (mostly Lakota) over the years and like, I see a lot of places where the same discrimination is happening to both groups.

The left has a big antisemitism problem and a big racism problem, especially for indigenous groups. It's like they care more about the prop than the person, and to be honest a blood quantum helps do that because it limits whose voice counts to a smaller group of people that's easier to talk over.
