I’m brown, black hair, with 67% Aztec/Mayan ancestry and my mother was born in a village without electricity or running water, but sure, keep being racist
Yes, diluting their race to extinction. This is not a “genocide” per se (though the slaughters were), and is to be expected from immigration - but it has led to Mayans’ distinctiveness disappearing.
“Deluting race into extinction” sounds like white supremacist rhetoric to me tbh. Just admit your takes about racial purity and “soft genocide” are shit
Through the self-rule of states in Mexico and Guatamala and the legal framework known as Indigenismo maya people have a surprising amount of autonomy and self-rule.
A civilization (British English: civilisation) is any complex society characterized by the development of the state, social stratification, urbanization, a currency, and symbolic systems of communication beyond natural spoken language (namely, a writing system).
To quote a different Wikipedia article
The Maya (/ˈmaɪə/) are an ethnolinguistic group of indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica. The ancient Maya civilization was formed by members of this group, and today’s Maya are generally descended from people who lived within that historical region. Today they inhabit southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras. “Maya” is a modern collective term for the peoples of the region; however, the term was not historically used by the indigenous populations themselves.
In short, that sentence doesn’t say what you think it says.
Why am I guessing you’re white and blonde with 1/16th Mayan ancestry?
I’m brown, black hair, with 67% Aztec/Mayan ancestry and my mother was born in a village without electricity or running water, but sure, keep being racist
What does that have to do with anything?
It paint the opposite picture of what the person they were replying to was alluding
What do Mayan ancestry and being raised in village without running have to do with each other?
Is everyone of Mayan descent raised in poverty? No? Then is why he pointing out that his mother was?
He’s just looking for pity points.
No, it shows that they’re not a privileged person cosplaying oppression.
What do privilege and oppression have to do with Mayan ancestry?
Are all people of Mayan ancestry unprivileged and oppressed? No? Then why bring it up?
Pity points 🙄

On the plus side, with your parents directly related, the holiday planning is pretty easy to figure out
Cuz you’re an asshole?
Or because I know it’s usually Americans who want to have a moral high ground claiming to be natives
Right. Cuz that’s a thing…
Yes, white Americans LARPing as natives is an actual thing
🤡
Your overwhelming argument has defeated me. Now, take this medal as a reward 🏅
This idiot thinks he’s winning the internet
Said the guy who thinks the clown emoji is an argument
Lmaooo blud’s never met the averaged mixed-race mexican apparently
Are you stupid? The average mexican isn’t Mayan, they have native ancestry but are of Hispanic culture
Why do you think that is?
Because the Spanish mixed with the natives
Yes, diluting their race to extinction. This is not a “genocide” per se (though the slaughters were), and is to be expected from immigration - but it has led to Mayans’ distinctiveness disappearing.
So you’re against racemixing? You literally just called it genocide, which is what a lot of great replacement white supremacists believe
I literally said it’s not, and that it’s normal, precisely because I’m aware of that very fact. Please read carefully next time.

The average American is white and fat and 39 years old.
Does that mean all Amercans are white, fat, and 39 years old?
I know, it’s just improbable that they’d be on a place full of Americans, since they aren’t even common on Spanish language forums
An American “Latinx” LARPing as a Mayan is a more likely option
And why exactly do you think present day ‘Mayans’ are so mixed?
They’re not? Based on a study of Guatemalan genetics,
It’s not being mixed what I’m talking about, I’m talking about being barely native and claiming to be one
Mixed is what you call “latinos”
Let me spell it out for you:
The Mayans are fucking dead
Straight from the first sentence of Wikipedia:
Was
Absolutely zero people are alive today with 100% Mayan ancestry.
Civilization is not the same thing as a people.

In short, that sentence doesn’t say what you think it says.
Gengis Khan is dead too. The Mongol Empire is long gone. He’s known for being ancestor to millions today. Do you understand that part?
You’re insane.
Nice rebuttal
