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.

I hate how "don't talk about politics" because it just means white people can be soft racist without consequences
when they say no politics here, they mean the same no politics of their dinner in thanks giving, as in they let their uncle and meemaaaw talk about how much they hate poc and how vaccines aren't real and it's political if they call them out on their bullshit. This is non political whiteness.
Yeah, something like that. Politics, to them, is anything that subverts that status quo of such white 'culture' being normal.
Then you extrapolate that to anything else such as imperial ventures (they don't question why US bases are everywhere; just that the US is essentially world police and always been to them, and anyone who challenges is that is anti-Amerikkkan).
an American soldier talking about his crimes isn't political, you can have literal cartoons for children with "respect the troops" messaging, but you bring up American wars and suddenly you're being political
Still banned from my sister's house for doing this to my now-brother-in-law lmaoooo
It's not politics when family members sit there and go off about "tax dollars going to waste on welfare queens" or the homeless or DEI, but when I point out how they're advocating for things that affect me (especially when I point out my skin, hair, and eye color), I'm the one who "ruined the holiday."
