Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
Why is the title different?
We like to have fun here.
What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.
What are the basic rules of the community?
-
Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.
-
This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.
-
Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m'kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.
-
No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn't the "one true leftism". Take that to another place.
-
Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is "not real" and that if you only thought like them you'd see what your "real" identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.
FAQ
I don't look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don't know if I can post here. Can I?
-
This place is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This includes those of mixed heritage and those who may be "white" but are of an ethnicity that is a minority in their area (i.e. Kurds, etc) If you've experienced oppression due to your identity that is not based on sexual / gender identification, you are welcome here.
-
Moreover, for our American audience, we have people from around the world who are "white" but are oppressed due to being a minority in their country. They are and should be welcomed here.
What can I post?
- Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
- Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.

“man in sky said so” the person knows nothing about Islam, not even the most basic part of it which is that Muslims don't see god as a man, and a "leftist" believing it's the fault of the religion or the believers of it for having reactionary ideas instead of the boot enforced on them, there's not a single Muslim country right now not facing either western interference or colonialism and comes with it illiteracy and the spread of reactionary misinformation, when Saudi Arabia doesn't attack israel even though Islam tells it to do so, they're not imprisoning gay people because Islam tells them.An educated leftist should know -the difference between reactionary ideas of an oppressed group vs the reactionary ideas of the oppressors even if they share it
-Muslims in the UK are usually descendants of ex-UK colonies in Africa and south Asia.
-the effects of infiltration and propaganda funded by western governments against minorities.
Another observation: "cosying up to radical muslims" and "women should be treated like slaves" I don't see that in effect, I don't see leftists in the UK lining up shoulder to shoulder with ISIS and the likes, unless they mean by radical Muslims Hamas and the PIJ who don't believe that women should be treated like slaves, or this person believes any man with a beard is an Al Qaeda member.
but idk
