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.

Saw an Instagram reel where a white woman said "the caucasity" and it made me cringe a billion different times in 70 dimensions all at once.
Is this normal?
Yes. Yes it is. I got psychic backlash from this
well, after months of deliberation i finally bought a one way ticket to portugal and planning to slowly make my way from there to either asia or africa. still have a day to chicken out and refund but i mean i've been desperately searching for a reason to not just up and leave the country, the bar has been barely above the ground, and still haven't found even one reason so doubt anything will change in the next day.
i'm not necessarily looking forward to it, still trying to get past the "i wish things were different" mentality. just seems like the only thing left to do besides succumbing to hopelessness. i'm hoping the journey will alleviate my misanthropic thoughts and lead to finding my people, but i know it's best to not have any expectations. i'm also worried about what happens when i run out of the very little money i do have or potential prejudice especially in europe but fuck it i want to do less thinking and more action
the only thing i will miss is my computer. still thinking if i should even bring a laptop since i plan to mostly camp

Well good luck. Even the journey doesn't satisfy, in terms of finding your people, it'll alleviate you some what I suppose.

I'd wish you bring one.
I will always call myself a leftist, but I sense that I'll never truly be comfortable with such a descriptor. I'm tired of all the white, performative bullshit. Most "leftists" I interact with seem like people who believe in entirely different things than I do.

How do you deal with how the western world view typically casts minorities as "exotic friendly little creatures" or "the devil. Literally demon beings."
Like, can you not see me as either please? Can you see me for me?
As someone who's been called an "Oreo" my whole damn life, I noticed that people are so quick to reduce Blackness down to a set of stereotypes, and if you don't align with these stereotypes in any way, they will see you as some "special" kind of person.
It's how cracKKKers act all the time when interacting with me.
Coconut/Twinkie/banana reporting in!
:beanis-salute:
Whenever I see something on the internet like "down with cis people" or something of the sort, I think about this tweet and I think about how many transgender settler child-killing nazis are in the iof.
And I think about how western theories & discourses of social justice have been revealed as completely inadequate in the age of al Aqsa Flood.
Western Academia/NGO/Social Justice Pipeline: replacing analysis of colonialism and post/neo-colonial class dynamics with identity politics and calling it radical.
(No I'm not against trans people...)
Settler feminism, settler trans rights, settler worker rights... All settlers before anything else
~~Well, tbh, I first thought this grafitti could go either way, from Falastini or Israeli. I don't see any signs of it being Israeli.~~
But ok, the main antagonism is Israeli settler-colonialism.
I don't see any signs of it being Israeli.
Haifa was ethnically cleansed by the zionists and the remaining Palestinian Arabs live in segregated areas, banned from displaying Palestinian flag.
If the grafitti was made by a Palestinian then that's actually even more depressing tbh but I think its very unlikely.
Oh shit... ok, now that I actually took a second look at the context, this is some settler sickness shit
I added the highlighted bit for the context and combined it into one image so I dont have to go searching for both in my camera roll 😅

Now, you may be wondering about, and you too as well, but why in the late times, just an hour after midnight? 
I shouldn't have drunk that chai very late

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.
