Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

...implying that she believes in Blood Quantum as well. Yikes.
Trans people, PoC... she was having a go at disabled people in her last book as well. I think maybe trolling has an addictive component and they have to reach further and further to get the same adrenaline hit.
What's Blood Quantum? Also, that would've been a sick name for 007 movie.
Blood quantum laws were originally laws made by colonizers in the US deciding who got to be Indigenous based on the percentage of "Indian blood" they have - colonial era Australia did the same thing to Aboriginal people. Slavery-era classifications like "octaroon" are another example.
I was using it more broadly here to mean the essentialist belief that ethnicity is dna-based.
Blood Quantum is also a horror movie :-)
