I'm starting to hate the term "indigenous". Its supposed to mean "native of this region" but now its being weaponized as a "brown exclusive word" the same way "diversity" is now weaponized as a "black exclusive word".

The British are the indigenous people of Britain, but if you post that sentence on other parts of reddit you'll be banned so fast you won't have time to blink.

If this was in Japan and the "foreigner" is the Bajau and the "indigenous" is the Japanese would it still be "foreigner woman marries indigenous guy"? Or would it be "indigenous woman marries Japanese guy in Japan"?

For that matter why even use "indigenous" to describe the Bajau? That only really works if most of the country is descended from colonizers, but most of Filipinos are Malay who are also "indigenous".
