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?

Is it against the terms of use here to call other people on this platform "braindead"? Asking because I dont like being called braindead.

Thinking of my crushes so far and it's mostly been towards white people, especially on online spaces it's just hard enough finding people with my similar interests and political leanings. Idk how to feel on it sometimes it's like no matter how well I might click with someone I'm crushing on I do worry on them not quite getting a lot of stuff or having any real frame of reference where I'm coming from. I'm probably too immature to date anyway but it's something I think about from time to time.

I'm related to every Filipino within a 45 mile radius lmao. I've never been able to date within my own ethnicity. It's already difficult finding people with similar values. Then trying to find someone not infected with racist brainworms? Feels impossible.

Mainstream media reporting the gaza takeover as "expanding military operations". I truly hate how westerners talk out both sides of their mouths

reddit is so amazing. i open it once and see two highly upvoted r*pe iokes in near succession, and then another post comparing china to the KKK and nazi germany. i think thats a good divine sign to never set foot in these sites ever again.

[–] durings@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

I was literally just about to post about reddit too, the site is just pure western propaganda, hateful right wingisms, and AI slop now. There’s no square inch left of decent content, it purely serves to make me angry now. And now even this site is following in its footsteps. Is there anywhere left to go on the internet for decent people

Got another interview on Tuesday.... hope that goes well. A comrade told me that this nearby vegan bakery is hiring, too, so I went ahead and sent in my resume.

POC coworker casually saying people should be put in German concentration camps for bad work... Just, why?

Chuds getting mad now that a video game removed the British colonial helmet, I was going to ask them if they'd feel the same if the game had a Nazi helmet, then I remembered they would.

So much colonialism is just accepted as a wholesome, normal thing. American "Wild West" as though millions of Native Americans weren't already living there before they were systemically eradicated. British colonialism. The Scramble for Africa. Spanish "conquest" of the New World.

This shit was exactly the same stuff we're seeing in Palestine and what happened in WWII. The only difference is Americans didn't live stream themselves scalping little kids to collect a bounty.

it's the thing that white people will never understand about colonialism, the reason that we can't sit down and enjoy shit and "stop making everything political" is that everything is political and everything has a prejudice against us.

I like the banner of Ansarallah, but I disagree with some points, for example how the list of death isn't long enough.

Thinking about how only white or rich people have the privilege of being doomers and resigning the faith of the world, because ultimately that allows them to easily give up trying to create a more equitable world, with the comfort of knowing they’ll ultimately be fine in the end as their privilege carries them through while the rest of the world burns, they no longer have to expend energy for the benefit of the undesirables. Yes I feel down about the state of the world but I have no choice but to fight to make it better for myself and others like me, I don’t get to just kick my feet up and hide away from the monstrosities

What do people think would be the safest areas to be in the US in the event of a nuclear attack, other than under your school desk?

I was thinking maybe some cities near the Canadian and Mexican borders since it's likely the other country wouldn't want to peripherally hit the other countries as well, but maybe once nukes start flying that type of calculation is off the table. I'm guessing midwest is fucked since they have silos in those areas, right? Hawaii and Puerto Rico are probably fine. Maybe some random places, National Parks and such?

Anyway, yeah, just some typical Monday doomsday hypotheticals!
