cakeyboos: yeah no fuck that wear sugar skull makeup if you want as long as you respect the culture FUCK tumblr wear that sugar skull makeup girl/guy y’all look cute as fuck and it makes me so happy my culture is being celebrated by so many people! NO, you are not a free pass for cultural appropriation. This has nothing to do with tumblr, this is part of an entire racist system that makes cultures into costumes. Respecting a culture is not the same as stealing a culture. If your only idea about wearing sugar skull makeup is to be “cute as fuck”, then clearly you don’t understand the importance at all of the celebration. It isn’t to be “cute as fuck”, it is for ancestral memory and celebration. Shame on you for defending mockery and reduction of our culture.

a la mierda, asswipe

im tired of seeing these fucking blogs all over tumblr trying to police a fucking holiday that means so FUCKING MUCH TO ME

im not telling people to put on the fucking makeup just to be cute, OKAY? I UNDERSTAND THE FUCKING IMPORTANCE OF THE CELEBRATION. I CELEBRATE IT AND I FEEL HAPPY WHEN PEOPLE JOIN IN. Yes, some people may not realize the meaning of the sugar skull makeup, maybe we should do a better job of educating people on the subject instead of just trying to police them and keep them away from celebrating with us!





It’s not fucking mockery when Im walking in la mission on halloween night and seeing little kids and adults having the times of their lives while in sugar skull makeup, I’m not insulted by that at all

Maybe it’s because where I live, everyone is encouraged by the latino community to join in, and that may not be the case for you, in which case I understand and I am sorry

so gtfo, not just to you, but all blogs who think they can police a fucking holiday

I’m sorry for my foul language, but I’m tired of this.
