It's not the same struggle...

Seeing people post about Palestine and Mexico stating that it's "one struggle" - no it's not.

Mexicans have their struggles, Palestinians have their struggles - but they're individual people with individual stories/history🤦🏼‍♀

I got added to a collab, where a guy tried to take clips from the demo's in LA, and twist it to be about Palestine, I told him it's not, it's about Mexicans and other immigrants being deported and basically head-hunted by ICE. He tried to tell me that I shouldn't share that detail, cause it doesn't matter. So I told him that my family is Mexican-Americans, It matters to me, and there's no way I'll be on that collab - he apologized and deleted the video..

I'm Pro-Palestine, I also support Mexicans and other immigrants just wanting to live peacefully, work and provide for their family. Don't think that means I'll fabricate anything to make it look like something it's not. It's disrespectful on both sides 🙄

When people say it's one struggle, they mean because both cases are about racism. Of course it's not totally the same, there's lots of differences and nuance, but comparisons can be made in terms of both being examples of racism and authoritarian governing.

@BohemianBabe Yes, I get that, and it's okei to look at similarities — as long as we don’t take away the unique struggles and autonomy of each group.
