Villarreal:</p> <p>- What is Chicanismo?</p> <p>- Who could be considered Chicano?</p> <p>- What is Chicana feminism?</p> <p>- How important was it for Chicana feminists to challenge toxic masculinity and machismo within Chicano academia &amp; Chicano grassroots? Who are some early Chicana feminists that challenged early Chicano machismo?</p> <p>- What are some current important topics within Chicanismo that you feel are not being addressed? But should.</p> <p>- What are some misconceptions about Chicanos/Chicanismo, that you have heard?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Questions answered by Rick:</p> <p>- What's wrong about taking an ancestry DNA test, and claiming Indigeneity? (Without any connection to an Indigenous community).</p> <p>- Aren't I Indigenous, since I'm brown? (Claiming Indigeneity through phenotypes).</p> <p>- What is wrong if I claim Indigeneity? (Without knowing if I'm Indigenous). I’m not claiming a [federally/state] recognized tribe, how is it infringing on tribal sovereignty?</p> <p>- Why can’t we ("detribalized") nip-pick pieces of different Indigenous communities' cultures, and create our own Decolonization path? What's wrong with that?</p> <p>- Why can't the U.S. recognize Indigenous south of the border?</p> <p>- Aren't Mexicans more Indigenous than Indigenous peoples in the US, because Indigenous in the US 'white', and Indigenous in Mexico have a higher 'blood quantum'.</p> <p>- Isn't Rick a Chicano?</p> <p>- Why is misappropriation of Indigeneity within Chicanismo an important topic for you?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Prior episodes with Dr. Villarreal:</p> <p>Episode 38: "Transformative Talk" (UTSA) - Chicana Feminism and Tribal Critical Race Theory</p> <p>Link:</p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At_Dl9-Cl-c</p> <p><br></p>
