Ravelry categorizes people... and I am one that is amazingly weird. And love it by the way. My real last name is Pena, hispanic as it sounds but my dad will tell you that is only your heritage you are AMERICAN. I am blond haired blue eyed and look Scandinavian, but I am AMERICAN. On my mothers side I have a Jewish grandmother, a Choctaw great great grandfather, but I am AMERICAN... and her family were share croppers, literally picking cotton in the fields with POC... but they worked side by side, and THEY WERE ALL AMERICAN. Last year after several in the family decided to do the genetic testing we also have 9% Nigerian DNA... But we are American. Ravelry has classified me as a white supremists...
I am AMERICAN. This is a bigoted site and by their own words have done what is unconscionable and marginalized AMERICANS just because THEY deemed it so.
Bigoted, racists, misogyny are the practiced norms and I refuse to be on any list or denigrated in any way for who I am. They are their own worse enemies... doing exactly what they accuse others of doing. Yarn... go to Hobby Lobby... pattern literally can find anything they have on another site with a little research... patterns too. Peace of mind, acceptance, pride in self and country... ALL CAN BE FOUND SOMEWHERE ELSE,
Do your homework or be as resists as they are and join their club of mean bullies.
