THE WORST place I dealt with anti-native rhetoric was in El Paso. That town is rooted in this belief that everyone who is brown is Latinx, specifically from Mexico. According to societies belief in blood quantum majority of people I met (aside from fiends)

denounced me because I was not “full”. The wild thing is everyone there heads up to Ruidoso right outside of the Mescalero Apache Nation and they have the Ysletta Del Sur Pueblo in their city but yet they’re like this. It was so exhausting to deal with.

So if you’re from El Paso or live in El Paso DO BETTER AND RECOGNIZE YOU ARE ON APACHE LAND
