#as an indigenous person it also really sucks to see young children still being taight stereotypes and shit

my dad is observing a strange phenomenon among his younger soccer players. he keeps mentioning the cleveland guardians, and they keep correcting him back to “indians.” they are like 10-11 years old.

my dad showed them the score on his phone and was like “see it says guardians” and they were like skeptical!

(he said he wanted to say “my people did not come from India!” but didn’t wanna deal with their parents. so he just keeps gently correcting them back)

wtf is up with their parents, man?
