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?

  1. Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

What can I post?

Just saw the phrase "working class isreali of color" people really just be making up sentences now and days.

the type of israeli jobs:

IDF soldier
dead idf soldier
the guy extracting the cum

Arabs, Thai, and Indian workers do everything.

You're otherwise correct, but no OFWs? Smh OFW erasure...

[–] la_tasalana_intissari_mata@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'll be honest with you, if I was Filipino this would be the thing I'd want erasure off of

Welp, my bad... that was a liberalism

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Geez, that isreali cringe.

"working class isreali of color"

This is the type of phrase that'd make you say 'Read Settlers'

Honest to God tho, what's an anti-Zionist equivalent to that? thinking-about-it

Been getting good at spotting undercover cop cars, I do my best to behave whatever but yeah I'm on to them also on the mind games they be playing on me. Me chilling in the park see one cop car pass by as a we're watching you and then the under cover piggies driving by thumb-cop at least here in cali they got the exempt license plate that they try to hide that part with a dealer frame thing.

The woman who referred me to her job got to her manager and said that he is still hiring for the position she referred me to but just has been busy and slow with checking. She said he should get back to me soon.

It seems to be an easy enough job, and the position has been open quite a bit, so if they really need someone to start working ASAP, I'm right here! JFC.

made the horrible mistake of looking at the general megathread omfg crackers are insufferable, vapid losers that shit on black art just becuase its too complex for them.

At this point I'd rather hear something like "the cheek clapper" creepypasta than another goddamn skinwalker/wendigo/insert some other shit white people take and bastardize into their bs scary stories. At a certain point if you're gonna steal from other people's belief systems at least do a little research and put some effort in.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They’re funny because it takes a lot to become a skinwalker and there’s very few people who have made all the steps. The amount of stories and fake videos would have you believe the entire Navajo nation are skinwalkers.

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

That or they just make them mindless beasts or whatever, honestly using the term interchangeably for whatever story they want to make is so damn annoying.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

one thing that pisses me off of the whitewashed skinwalker/wendigo stories is that they would work well as werewolf stories but for some reason writers dont like using them so they try to bastardise some native myth instead, its like if every vampire story used any undead creature to replace vampires

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

I imagine a lot of it is just jumping on trends, werewolves are a solid pick I agree for most of the ones I've heard. The completely made up ones I prefer but they have to lend it credence by attaching it to something everyone vaguely knows in the online horror story circles.

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

White queers not getting why I'd rather be in a room of 1,000 Black cishet people over a tiny circle of 5 white queers in and of itself proves my point.

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

I feel this, do wish I had more queer poc friends tho

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

It hurts reading nerdy trans tech blogs and then getting gut punched with anticommunist brainworms. They'll whine about how "win-it-all capitalism" is bad and then in their next article use the Stalin-Yezhov photo as the "most famous example" of clean-up photo editing.

This is what I get for reading white people's writing kitty-birthday-sad

Welp, thanks to all of you idiots that didn't want to vote for Mussolini, Hitler won the election

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

“Crackkkerpoints” and “Ethan Klein ‘wife guyed’ himself into being a neo-nazi” are my favorite takes right now.

[–] la_tasalana_intissari_mata@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm loving the hate their getting, I'm not a person who enjoys drama or sloptubers, but for some reason it's really enjoyable.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Its nice to see after years of the internet defending racist whites like Pewdiepie

having a really hard time coping with loneliness and facing the facts that people would rather be friends with people who are agreeable, passive, and "easy to digest" at best, and literal SAers and fascists at worse, over me. they may even complain about these "friendships" to me and then continue to invest more time in them.

hard to trust peoples words at all anymore. i don't want to live like this. maybe it's actually a blessing that i have no attachments to this place community wise

Been carrying around some of those red cards the ones that say to ICE "I do not consent to a search" etc. I really don't know how much it'll help but it gives me some ease also got some for my parents to have on hand. Seeing an article of how ICE agents are pretty much in it for treats doesn't not surprise me one bit amerikkka

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The treats aren't even that good, I remember reading about detention center guards who have to work 80+ hour weeks for no benefits.

It's just a terrible country where it's either that or you fall into a spiral of despair. Become a nazi to save yourself type country.

Death to Seppoland.

Chuds talk about the left using lived experience as a weapon yet they use lived experience over and over to justify this genocide, to justify mistreatment of minorities, xenophobia. Their whole ideology is some warped lived experience immune to reality

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago (12 children)

lol it's like when chuds talk about being the only white kid at school and since they got bullied, that made them racist. Or they talk about how black people never tip, so that's why they never give good service.

"Is me being racist why minorities treat me like shit? No, obviously I'm racist because it's their fault for being mean."

I was out on a trip and had needed to go to the restroom. There was a line for the women's restroom (all of them were white) and one of them had their 3-4 year old son complaining about wanting to see his dad, who was in the restroom, in front of the men's restroom. I stood around for a second seeing if she would move her son out of the way and I started yawning. I didn't hear what the kid was saying, but from out of nowhere the mother say "Oh sorry, he said the n-word". And I'm like "huh". And she wasn't even speaking to me, instead the other women on line. I just turned back around because I had no idea what the fuck she was on about, but if your 3-4 year old is just dropping the n-word out of nowhere then I think you might have a problemanti-cracker-aktion

It always feels odd when I talk to white people about racism since I usually feel a need to soothe things over or doubt my own perceptions around them. It's either no engagement or being dismissed and both kinda suck. I guess the latter sucks more when I mention something get dismissed and someone else says it and they agree. One example I remember saying was the racism in the yakuza series and my friends dismissing me for it being a crime game but when another white friend mentioned it they were like "you're on to something there." Sometimes I feel I'm kept around as amusement catgirl-flop and I'm too lonely to refuse.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

A lot of these blokes think pregnancy after SA is a blessing so of course they think colonialism and neocolonialism is a good thing.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

The leftist gaming club didn't gatekeep liberals, so of course they did a fundraiser for veterans on 4th. of July. It was a nice thought while it lasted.

Am I justified in getting a bad vibe from this message this British leftist sent me?

[CW: Islamophobic/Pinkwashing/New Atheist Vibe]Yeah I feel that. Ones thing that pisses me off with the left in the UK is the cosying up to radical muslims united only by pro-palestine and pro-workers rights. I’m sorry I don’t give a fuck how anti-genocide and anti-capitalism you are, if you think queer people are disgusting and women should be treated like slaves because “man in sky said so” I have no respect for you.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago
