There's almost 0 state efforts to preserve the cultural identities of immigrants of any kind

When people celebrate "diversity" in the West, it's just eating shawarma, drinking boba, watching Anime, listening to kpop, and eating at an Ethiopian restaurant. Pure commodification and consumerism masquerading as celebration and promotion of foreign cultures

Or you'll have people fetishizing about spicy latinas, lightskins, and Asians like they're fucking Pokemon cards

    The problem is that white colonizers have built a system that rewards us "savages" for becoming "civilized". Most of the true people of Cemanahuac and Turtle Island do not speak our own languages or practice much of our own culture, and those of us who do, we have to fight very hard to raise our communities children with our mindset for the world and not the colonizer's. This is true for anyone who comes from elsewhere as well.
