s not possible for you. For starters, you can choose to start informing people on how they can celebrate this more responsibly (no pun intended) and really get them to think about how and why they are partaking in the celebration in the first place. Especially when the celebration itself, within the context of life in America, is more than likely a commercial fabrication that really had no cultural intention to begin with.
An extension of that would be for us to take the holiday into our own hands. Start not only informing people what that day actually means and celebrating it critically. Celebrating our culture authentically, however we see that fit. As many more people start to become conscious of what this day really means, for some of us it is a responsibility to take a step back and put on for our culture in ways that truly represent it.
While we write this, we want to be honest that we do not speak for everyone on this issue BUT we write this as a group of individuals who care about our culture. We understand that privilege plays a large role in any perspective including our own.
With that being said we hope to spark a meaningful conversation.
