Imagine if people took Native American icons and called them “white Americans.” Imagine if the justification was, “this land eventually became white American land after conquest, therefore, Native Americans were all historically white Americans.” Imagine if the justification was also, “the land used to be named “America,” which is the same name it has today, therefore, it means Native Americans were also white Americans.” What would you call those people? The “anti-colonizers” are the biggest endorsers of colonial erasure. Just leave Jesus alone.
