Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

You know, given that Caucasians have a long history of being the Racialized Other in Russia, I'm not sure that this was the best wording, exactly... If you mean "white" you should probably just say "white" instead of using weird racial pseudoscience words, right?

Anyways my own headcanon is that earth ponies are Hispanic people, the pegasi are Francos, and the unicorns are Anglos

Oh yeah that's my bad. You're right, not sure why I said that and not white/"""non-political"""

If you live in amerikkka using the word "Caucasian" for "white" probably has been so normalized for you that you don't even really think about its origins
