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.

Hello nerds, i hope you all have a good next week 
Enjoy a catball
Remember no crackers
Sadly a lot of colonized sprout this shit too. Even though it was purely for extraction and exploitation not for the benefit of the people.
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
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."
shit or doctors deciding black people have higher pain tolerance. 
Mfs making assumptions of latina women being "fiery" due to third hand stories
Mfs don't even need to live that shit just hear old wives tales. If someone told em x group grew wings they'd be writing congress to investigate 🤣
"immigrants commit more crime"
-proof
"my third cousin's dog got his treats stolen by an african sloughi"
Legit wondered if the superman movie would be released in the US since its a movie about an immigrant 
Hell chuds are mad about the movie being about kindness
They will tell you superman is good because he is white christian american but if you post the smallville clip of clark calling himself an undocumented migrant they will start crying
Wait until they find out how Superman smashes the klan was instrumental in exposing the KKK badly. And that the creators of Superman are jewish. They will go belly up in rage

No wonder chuds seem to hate that superman movie. He's an "illegal immigrant" working on a farm
I havent watch it, but if J. Gunn is a real one he would focus on the "superman is an undocumented migrant" angle
Would be better than that snyder shit
I recently saw a meme where one panel had Spiderman saying "treat minorities with respect" with a kid admiring him in 1994, then the next panel was Spiderman saying the same thing but now the kid is grown up in 2025 and he's raging at how Spiderman is woke and he wasnt like this when he was a kid.
Lesson being, Spiderman didn't change, the kid just grew up to be a chud.
"Leftist do lived experience"
Buys that bullshit trump said about Haitian eating pets or right wing news articles about cannibals

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.
Never trust gamers
Definitely an example of what no theory does to a motherfucker. They're just going off vibes and aesthetics.
This is most "leftists" I interact with both online and offline.
:doomer:
American "I am so depressed to be American. I don't recognize my country."
Us in the third world " 
Mi Gente is it time to leave the US? Like all bullshit aside is it time to get out financial consequences be damned?
I feel like "they just made the concentration camp budget 150 billion dollars" is as good an indicator as any. And even if it's not now there's no pathway I can see for improvement for this place. It will get there eventually.
Any time is a good time to get out of the U.S
If you can leave you should, waiting until the current fash policies personally affects you could be very dangerous
Kinda hit me today talking to a coworker about how he has told his parents to start carrying their passports. And I was like yeah I've thought about it which is surreal to admit but that's when it sort of became concrete for me that I'm not safe here, citizen or no it doesn't matter you can get thrown on a plane and end up in ICE detention. Maybe you come back, maybe you don't.
Truth is a passport isn't a guarantee either.
I remember growing up and thinking that most crackers were good and the bad ones were just an extremely tiny fraction of them because we all took care of the racists back in the 1960s, right? This shows you just how misleading our education system is.
Of course, I realized it's actually the opposite. Even when I meet a cracker who seemingly shows a lot of signs of "being one of the good ones," I still feel like they're racist as shit.
I've even had other Black leftists tell me that I'm too skeptical of white people. I really would hope that they, of all people, could understand the amount of damage that whiteness has done to me. I cannot even describe it here because 1) at this point, it's so heavy that I don't even feel like a CW/spoiler can prepare someone for the sheer weight of the racial trauma I have and 2) I can't even find the right words if I wanted to. It's just indescribably bad.
Even the good ones I met ask them about my country or others in africa and....dear oh dear.
my country or others in africa
ehm you mean cities in Africa, because Africa is a country
Thanks for the laugh! Hahahahahahahaha
Looking forward to another day of training, mostly a lot of down time fixing up a office so gonna be listening to some audiobooks when I can or podcasts. Got my lunch ready mexican rice, frijoles de la olla and some carne de soya. Also got like an hour or two to kill when I get there so prob gonna get some study on hvac done. This whole grind to try to get a better lot in life is difficult keep hoping it's worth it in the end.
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
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
I know that feel...
I sometimes will drink a caffeinated soda or even coffee at night and say to myself, "You're definitely gonna regret this. Just stop," but I do it anyway!
My voice was ready to give up entirely through this whole thing, but meh, I fux with the result decently ig
The aforementioned comrade said, "That's a track I love, man. I don't know why. Maybe I'm just a millennial, y'know. Even though I got the heart of a zoomer."
He said "zoomer" with a goofy high-pitched voice, hence the italics.
