Garnet: “Peridot is coming and we don’t know who or what she’ll be coming with. She’s a modern gem with modern gem technology that’s bound to overpower us. The truth is, we’re scared.”

 I’m in class about Native American history and this  makes me think about how the Native Americans must have felt when the “White Man” was coming (and would change their world ‘forever’) and with, as Garnet would say, “Back Up.” It’s really a realistic example of helplessness and fear and frustration with knowing that there’s absolutely nothing  you could do about it but wait for it to happen (and resist until you majorly ‘lost,’ if you considered that’s what happened to the Native Americans).



 Considering this, I guess the Crystal Gems would be the “White People” who sympathized with the “Native Americans” and Peridot and “others” would be “White People” coming to take over (or arguably ‘destroy’) the “new world.”
