Stop shitting on my culture

jillnecr0:

I am white, but that doesn’t mean I have no culture. It also doesn’t mean that I am a racist, or that my family has never known oppression.

My family is primarily Irish and Scottish. We have been treated like shit for ages. I am the first generation to not face oppression.

I am pagan. The lovely Christian church has stolen my holidays. They have labeled me as “satanic” and look at me with horror. The film industry craps all over my religious symbols for the sake of making horror movies.

I am not trying to say that my culture’s suffering is worse than anybody else’s, I’m just trying to make you all aware that my people have been through shit.

Please stop judging me based off my skin tone.
