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?

Never liked that amy schumer character but her weaponising Jewish allyship with poc to gain support for this genocide will always piss me off

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I grew up around a lot of Jewish kids and many of them would do this. At first I thought "wow, I didn't know Jewish people were that much into civil rights" but now when I take their allyship, and the comments I also heard like "They were hiding in hospitals so it had to be bombed", then I know they're just trying to take credit for civil wins to spend on downplaying war crimes.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Its fucked because there are plenty who ars genuine about thr allyship but ones like schumer marguiles hammer the poc and lgbt saying oh they wouldn't accept you in Palestine unlike in Israel. That good old western spin.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Always with the White Man's Burden shit. "They are uncivilized therefore indiscriminate bombing is good, actually." They just switched from Christianity, art, music, and literature to civil rights.

This is like a daily discussion here.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

There is also those who point out the gdp differences between Palestine and Israel. I fucking wonder why that is

do they think that the patients in the hospitals wouldn't hear a missile being fired right above them?

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Even when I didn't understand what isntreal was doing back then, I knew blowing up hospitals because "terrorist are hiding in them" sounded insane. I assumed they were empty/evacuated because no reasonable person would thinking blowing up an occupied hospital because "terrorists" are hiding in them is a good solution.

White people ran out of ideas with South Africa, with other colonies they're like "oh the technology, the education" there they're like "the white farmers" what do you mean white farmers? was they lack of melanin making the plants grow faster?

Happy Pride Month to all the LGBT++ homies.

I’m starting my job search in earnest today. Need to find a real grown-ass man job in computers and soon. I know we justly clown on techbros but my only job experience is in computers and IT. I do dread finding another MEGACORP gig, as they are all weirdly racist and sexist in lots of ways it’s hard to put into words. Yeah there is a lot of explicit and overt stuff but there so much implied and covert stuff. Work is such a racket.

My cousin decided to marry a redneck and now she doesn't want to spend time at any of the family reunions because they're racist. Its not even like her husband isn't, he's pretty openly racist, but IDK. I would say I feel bad for her, but it seems like that's her type anyway soshrug-outta-hecks

My half-sister married a crypto fascist and I'm banned from her house, so that's neat.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

waow-based

She always trying to invite my mom and me over to where they live. I could never. No one is going to be racist to my face and think I'm not going to say shit.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Saying shit is why I'm banned lmao

Wonder if anyone else has a familiar nickname that's way off from their legal name. I quite like mine and have been having my close friends use it. It's probably the closest to a true name I got since internally I use it when talking to myselfs. It tends to be odd to my white friends but idk sometimes it hard to explain to them

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same. Except, my nickname is based off my legal name but people who don't speak the language wouldn't know this. I've been told they thought I just decided to pick a totally different name because it sounded cooler. Haha

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fr my white friends here my legal name and can't connect the dots, my mom has a cooler one goes by Maria but for some reason her family call her kooka I think that's how you spell it

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Kuka? Is she Puerto Rican? I knew an older Puerto Rican lady named Kuka.

Please feel free not to answer to avoid doxxing though.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

cuca is also a nickname in mexico

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah. It's a nickname for Maria?

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago
