If you grew up near that culture and are aware of the history and have empathy for their struggle, do you not see how unhelpful and unnecessarily pedantic your response to an understanably frustrated and fed up post is?
If a good portion of the majority oppressing you is invested in keeping you disempowered and often actively attacking you, would you feel the need to painstakingly qualify your outrage/desperation? Maybe put your ego aside and spend more energy trying to be a part of the solution, and less on whatever you think you're doing here
Pedants are almost as bad as pederasts at the whole thinking things through from the others' perspective before taking actions.
Pedantically criticizing the language of an indigenous person who is pleading for human rights is not a good look, my dude.
Yeah what the heck is that person doing.
I'm smelling a sea lion.
