HCN dove deep into the wokeness with its most recent email, with a "Sunday comics" sized graphic mini-novella about white privilege and the outdoors with words by José González, a Chicano activist from Sacramento. He uses "Chicano" himself, and having grown up in the Southwest decades ago myself, I know that means activist. (Drawing is by Krystal Quilles.)
Look at Panel 3, about the use of sunscreen, its color as well as its protection, and "normatively white."
Well, I already knew that Hispanics, or Chicanos (where's LatinX?) don't have such high skin cancer rates.
But the CDC says they're not non-existent, either. One-sixth that of whites. (American Indians and Alaska Natives are at one-fifth of whites, even higher.)
Also, in response to another panel, I told him (and HCN) on Twitter that his own criollo ancestors exercised their own privilege against and over "pure" American Indians, too, so he shouldn't point so many fingers. In fact, his mestizo ancestors even did that.
As for the "LandBack" final line? I asked HCN rhetorically earlier this week how many American Indians have tagged Black-owned Starbucks or other businesses when they do such tagging.

Update? Speaking of American Indians, a second woke semi-self-own at HCN pops up right after the first.
