Warning for Triggers | I feel discriminated in this place
Yup, just like the title says.
I don't know I just feel like people here are out to attack me for my roots
I have indigenous heritage (Mostly Nawat, a Nahuan group) and it's something I am proud of, but I just feel like every time I try to talk about it I get disinterest or outright censorship, like I am being shunned down for it.
I already had someone actually explictely attack me for it before, I won't say names but yeah
Like there is unanimous agreement that it's something that should be hidden.
It's been like this for quite some months by now, breaks me.
I won't make an exaggerated post with bunch of emojis, I go direct to the point on the issue.
@ItzVesper09 You have every right to be proud of your heritage. I'm sorry you feel discriminated and shunned here for it. Were you able to report whoever explicitly attacked you? How may I be a part of the solution?
@TrinityBringer Yeah I did report them, but they got the account back and threw a tantrum right after
still not saying names of course
@ItzVesper09 It’s pretty typical for 7cups to give someone a 2nd (or 3rd) chance, especially if the acknowledge what they did wasn't ok.
So the reinstatement of the account doesn't mean what happened was ok.
I hope you don't have any further problems but if you do, please report again!
Dude, I think your heritage is so cool! <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 Thanks!
I think diversity is so important and we have so much to learn from each other. I hope you still remain strong despite everything and please know there are a lot of people who love to be in a room full of people from across cultures! Cheers to being authentic!
I am sorry for what you have been going through,
I’m new here, but I can relate. All my life I’ve felt like I needed to speak up for my Indigenous heritage (Hocąk) and it gets exhausting and I’m realizing that it feels like my heritage had to take a backseat in order for my life, career, and relationships to move forward. I’m tired of people denying my roots and heritage like I don’t know who I am! I’m grateful you had the courage to share this, it spreads courage to people who need it like me. I literally just downloaded this app and read this, so now I’m all fired up to begin my mental health journey and it might start with my heritage. Thank you! 🙏
@ItzVesper09. Never understood the desire to attack someone because their culture or heritage, such a waist of time and sad way to live. They are just jealous cause they aren't awesome like you
The last sentence <3
Your doing good work..don't get affected by the haters!
