Just finished that assessment... took me a minute to get it down because I had to take time to understand the rules and whatnot, but it seemed pretty easy and I'm confident. I shall get an answer soon!
Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
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.

Bad day to have eyes.
I forgot about him doing blackface, but its pretty telling that he got pulled for criticizing Trump and not for this.
I remember the hell that was watching the George Lopez show, I always kept hoping it would get better but nah. The literal 🪱 grandfather I could never be sure if they were fully making fun of him in the way or not but if memory serves his family had slaves.
Been reading fort brag cartel and it's pretty much patriarchy/racism all the way to the top. It also been cementing my antidrug way of life tbh, fuck book real good.

I got an offer to do the transcription job (kind of), BUT
- I need to complete an onboarding process, which will still require another test.
- I need a few things before I start, namely a foot pedal and a copy of Microsoft Office. c/mutual_aid might be able to help with this. I have to get these by October 7th
I'm not jumping and celebrating yet! I have done too many premature celebrations before, so I have to see how this goes, and with this in mind, I'm still going to be out here applying for jobs and doing more interviews.
Gotta love these people.
Context
A post on Facebook was asking "Roger Waters or Geddy Lee?"
I responded by saying that, though I prefer Geddy Lee's musical contributions, Waters has much better politics (Geddy Lee is unfortunately a Zionist, and it can be extremely difficult for me to separate art from the artist when it comes to such a matter, of course.)
Got tons of angry white men upset with me because of that. Don't care!
Roger Waters has been vindicated so hard
Got an interview tomorrow. It's with a place that does offers on the spot... I so fucking hope I get this.
A white eastern european guy who is like 2 years younger me telling me that people littering is an example of how people don't care and that most people don't care but he agrees with me in spirit. He also doesn't understand why plagiarism is bad.
Our conversation was about how you shouldn't use LLMs at all.
I hate white people in CS. I hate white people in CS I hate white people in CS I hate white people in CS
I'm never trying to get to be friends with white people ever again.
