It's even more crazy to believe that such identity politicking works on people. The fact that black women are stating that they will vote for Harris BECAUSE she is a black woman is something that would have been considered racist years ago, and yet it's not only acceptable but expected in these circumstances.

My family history is unfortunately rather limited due to the circumstances of my family, so in some sense I am upset but also envious of people who can trace their history back to a great degree. But it also gives me a better perspective on the idea of cultural appropriation and why, in some sense, I find it to be related to one's lack of understanding their own culture while being envious of those who are not ethnically like "us" but are nonetheless more knowledgeable and wise to said culture.
It's something I've thought about writing given my circumstances but like many things I haven't had time and I find it more difficult to put so much effort towards Substack these days...
