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.

Accidentally ended up on r/jewish cause I was googling to see if a creator I liked had said anything about palestine (he has, even before october 7th and even donated money to palestinian aid orgs like pcrf and unwra) and ofc these crakkkers are all shitting on him (who's also jewish), saying that the media has brainwashed the non-jewish left and "jews who wanna be part of the cool club" to hate all jews and to genocide them starting in pissrael and support palestine (lol sure buddy), unwra is teaching kids to want to kill every jew (def not israel giving them valid reasons to hate their occupiers and colonizers due to their own actions) and how "but what about ukraine!!" (we gotta center white people folks! especially ones who have gotten tons of economic support from the west and whose adversary has gotten sacntioned to hell and back) so yeah lmao these people are a lost cause. These people will hide behind their identity all day to never confront reality and will refuse to stop prioritizing their feelings over literal thousands of dead women and children. It's deadass infested almost every jewish site/org/whatever and they don't see how much antisemetism they're creating by saying opposing the mass slaughter of children is "antisemetic". If any muslim ethnic group did even 1/100th of this they'd be fucking wiped by literally all sectors of society, hell, any poc group but these people get a pass cause ig only their genocide matters and all others are just a fact of life. Fucking sick and tired of people who act like antisemetism is somehow more morally urgent than any other kind of bigotry and racism. White colonizers get your unwashed asses back tf to europe and stay there. But we can't have these convos even on hexbear and other supposed leftist places our you're literally hitler even tho you're not the one supporting the material conditions that are actively contributing to antisemetism, even tho we can say similar stuff about groups who collaborate with the west like kurds. Prolly cause they're not white majority. Fucking props to anti-zionist jews who have to deal with shit from all sides, I'm sorry. Sick and tired of westerners, unlimited genocide upon the first world.
A lot of zionists that cry "antisemitism" show their whole ass when they go and say shit like this. Time and again there are reports of noe-Nazis in the ranks of Ukraine's armed forces. Liberals keep saying "Azov is reformed, they aren't like that anymore" and yet Nazi symbology and naming conventions are still pervasive in the armed forces. Yet these are the smol bean heroes that need all of our unconditional support. Don't think Israel should be killing innocent men, women, and children? Wow, well now YOU are the antisemite.
An absolute fucking joke. What you said later "Whites are white before anything else coming up as real again" is on point.
It's hilarious they always use the ukraine gotcha, showing their whole nazi asses and this convo was started by a ukrainian jewish person cause ig history doesn't matter and the rabid antisemitism that was present in ukrainian society before 2022 and that the west had no issue recognizing back then suddenly went poof and got launched into every single palestinian toddler who not only want to kill all jewish people but are also rabid homophobes and deserve to be carpet bombed. "But you can't generalize all ukrainians" then stop basically generalizing all palestinians and putting your feelings over their lives, not that violent uprising should even be condemned by the colonized against colonizers but I digress. People who still cry about pissrael's existance being threatened (they have no right to exist in the first place, countless of ethnic group governed palestine before and after jewish people if you pull your head out of your eurocentric ass) as if Gaza and the West Bank aren't simultaneously being slowly colonized and annexed not to mention south Syria and maybe even south Lebanon again atp and jewish people being targeted as if palestinians and other arabs aren't dying everyday, deserve everything bad in life. We're in the bad timeline when supporting the native palestinians makes you antisemetic just cause you're against colonization when done by jewish people but you're NOT antisemitic when you support fucking azov and the ukrainian army as a whole lmao. Everybody who considers themselves on the left and is actually worth anything needs to be anti-zionist or they're useless idiots for imperialism and nothing more, and any left-wing party or group needs to stand their ground or be discarded.
The cracker ethos: Jewish feelings > Palestinian lives
The liberal "pro-palestinians" tut-tutting the victims of genocide by the self-declared "Jewish state" for not picking their words carefully enough are just zionists by another name.
I seriously hate them. How fucking dare they muddy the memory of the holocaust and it's victims by bastardizing it to commit a new genocide and erasing all the non-jewish victims and how fucking dare they police the words of people currently being genocided for the sake of the feelings of mostly white people. I'm not gonna act like it's a big conspiracy about how "the jews control the world" they only get away with this cause the west needs their settler colony to last for them to have control over the middle east but you might as well be hitler if you act like jewish people aren't a hivemind that blindly bow down to israel in their eyes. Would they police the language and actions of the people in the warsaw ghetto? Why are certain people entitled to an ethnostate? Not to mention how tons of groups have been in control of Palestine besides jewish people throughout the times but euro-centric history is all they know. The antisemitism they're creating by defending the actions of israel truly is mind boggling but they seem ignorant to it. "Nowhere is safe for us" and for poc and people in the global south it is??? They act like the only group of people in the world to be oppressed and genocided and no wonder with how much western media only highlights what is convenient to their goals. Sick and tired I ain't even making sense.
When Palestinians are enduring a genocide, it’s “why don’t they move somewhere else?”
When a white Jewish student in the US gets weird looks for calling for mass genocide in class, they’re an innocent little baby whose safety is in grave danger, we must silence those antisemitic students immediately
“Nowhere is safe for us” coming from some American cracker like, give me a fucking break.
But I guess yeah, all those POC have nothing on them not being able to call for mass murder without social consequences. /s
P.S. a friend of mine is a lecturer and it’s truly jaw-dropping the number of whites who feel comfortable to have cracker tantrums in class if the professor says anything “woke”. Tell me again who’s “uppity”?
Nothing, absolutely nothing, pisses me off more than hearing this shit. Is there a chance that they could run into people that are legit anti-semites? Yes. But how is sustaining the colonial project that is Israel any safer for them when they are provoking wars all the time? Meanwhile you have all these zionists living in the comfort of the imperial core without a chance of facing an ounce of the violence that is being inflicted on Middle Eastern people by Israel.
Always the white ones saying it too, it's like white people feel the need to cosplay as more oppressed than they truly are. In this day and age no jewish person is more at risk than anti-zionist jewish people from the actual antisemites and the rest of the jewish community.
Seriously, this is why I think the acknowledgment that, in the current year, Jews are not systemically oppressed (specifically for being Jewish) needs to be emphasized.
If I said this anywhere else I'd be hung and quartered which proves your point cause literally no minority, certainly no non-white group would ever be defended like this while committing ethnic cleansing. Tired of crakkker whining.
Edit: Hell even here we had a whole debacle where even mods were sending death threats to people cause "you want an emoji burning the israeli flag so you're antisemetic cause it has the star of david" whites ruin every space they enter if not kept in line istg yes lets cosplay as communists but value a religious symbol over liberation of oppressed humans.
Nothing more infuriating than the whitest person I’ve ever seen saying that they’re systemically oppressed for being Jewish (they lost all their friends after posting genocidal rhetoric)
Come the fuck on, come talk to me about systemic oppression when a cop puts “Jewish” on your speeding ticket instead of “white”, or when simply walking through a neighborhood gets you posted to NaziDoor as a “suspicious individual” and the cops get called on you
Fucking preach, they'll never know what it's fucking like and even within jewish spaces non-white jewish people get the short end of the stick. Antisemitism is an issue but this is like white women who complain about being the most oppressed while hiding behind their white identities. Something something white before anything else, race still trumps it.
Edit: this reminded me of how that betar jewish group harassed a 15 yo mexican boy cause he DARED accuse an adult man of assaulting him... but the man was JEWISH so clearly thr ILLEGAL ALIEN (actual words used by the group) is an antisemitic liar ruining a poor white jewish man's life. Lmao ship him to pedo paradise pissrael ig!!!
They live such cozy fucking lives yet complain more then anybody else give me a fucking break. "Nowhere is safe for us" welcome to the world, guess what, you're not the only ones and you can still be guilty of heinous shit, like how some white USians are talking about seeking asylum elsewhere casue of trump lmaooooo. And it's almost always white jewish people saying that I've never seen a poc jewish saying it which goes to show cause you know, the poc part already makes it obvious absolutely nowhere is safe. Whites are white before anything else coming up as real again. Nobody is as arrogant and as sensitive as a crakkker. It's eurocentrism to ignore the countless groups who governed in Palestine before and after the jewish people yet only act like they're the ones who have the right to that land just as it is to focus on the history of antisemetism mostly in europe to justify borderline jewish supremacism and ignoring all kinds of bigotry besides antisemitism. Fuck anybody who contributes to it and may we see a fully liberated Palestine and the fall of the west in our lifetime.
Of all the whites I’ve had tell me they were going to do this since 2016, not a single one has actually done it, because ultimately they are not materially affected, ICE is never going to come for them (their “activism” is limited to making a post on Bluesky every month) and they aren’t willing to give up their comfortable lives to cosplay as refugees. A democrat will win in 2028 and ICE will go back to only killing POC and everything will be normal again.
As far as I can tell it’s just a conversation topic for the dinner table. Same thing as that one temporarily-embarrassed-millionaire relative talking about how this is the year they’re finally gonna quit that minimum wage job and invest in crypto/AI and become a trillionaire or whatever. Every year for the last 10 years.
It's funny, because even the premier "anti-Zionist" subreddit r/JewsOfConscious still regularly has libs and, dare I say, liberal zionists clutching their pearls about how Hamas is evil because they pose a threat to their lives or their family(paraphrasing from memory) and getting scratched in one thread regarding Jewish exceptionalism and like... I know reddit is botted to hell and back and filled with insufferable libs like any major platform nowadays, but it really feels like this overemphasis of antisemitism over all other forms of bigotry is just way too entrenched, especially in supposedly "progressive" spaces. It always seems like liberal zionists get way too much fucking good will and charity than ANYONE in the global south, even on the left.
It feels like some mix of western guilt plus political convenience. Try to pass off the guilt of the roles they played in the holocaust by helping maintain the settler colony that is key for their dominion over the middle east and claim its for the good of jewish people even if it's a fucking lie.
