i understand that it's possible to look white while being mixed race and ex. having family who look obviously not white, but a huge part of race has to do with the way you are perceived and to be ignorant of that enough to say you "identify as a person of color" is just dumb

wading into stuff i know v little about but quick note i feel the native case is interesting bc for historical reasons a lot of the people that are legit closest & most committed to their native ancestors' culture are ppl that "look white" and it's a much finer balance

yeah personally I don't know if it's good or bad tbh, I don't want to deny people their heritage if they think it defined them at all, but also probably not a good idea to try to present it as evidence to try to relate to people when you look like their oppressor that's all
