1. A lot of debate on this tweet of mine to the left. I have deleted it while keeping it here so that it can sit next to @alisoneroman’s tweet. This is photo was sitting on Alison’s MySpace page...you can google it. She has a recent history of being called out for appropriation. pic.twitter.com/HYHNQ2vjNI

Oh girl come on. Save the little face you have left and own up to it. SF Amy Winehouse my ass.

I dressed up as Pocahontas when I was 9 (the Disney costume had brown sleeves and everything) and it was appropriation. Period. It wasn't cute, it was offensive. However, I was an actual child when that happened and not fucking 23. Dress up as a sexy cop* or nurse like everyone else.

*Actually don't dress up as a cop. I should have said firefighter or chef or something. You get the idea.

No idea why it's not letting me edit but I'm a light Puerto Rican/Italian woman so it was definitely not my lane. Both sides of my family made choices with the colorism and racism though.
