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

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 my nerds, hope you all have a good week 
Remember no crackers
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.
Gotta be my favorite pride flag 🫡
I woke up today forgetting that it's pride month, and it feels sad because I know the reason why: I've distanced myself from LGBTQ+ spaces so much that it just didn't occur to me like it has for the past few years. Why? Because most of the LGBTQ+ spaces I've interacted with are overwhelmingly white, and the experiences with that, as you would expect, are
I don't know how to explain it better than, LGBTQ+ spaces feels like the Target Queer section. Almost like a hate crime with nothing behind it beyond visibility and rainbows
The whiteness of these spaces is part of why it took me so long to figure it out. I felt out of place and figured I mist be cishet rather than because the whiteness was repellant
I never bothered with grindr both because of my anxiety around sex and also because I keep hearing how racist it is. I got one queer friend online in my friend group when everyone else is pretty damn white. This shit gets kind of lonely fr
Why do racist White Americans adopt nonwhite kids as much as they do? I see this a lot from Guatemalan adoptees. They’re always very visibly mestizo or indigenous kids with Anglo names like Jason Smith who were raised by a racist straight or lesbian couple.
They come down here and talk about how thankful they were to be away from this hellhole (their own words) and will brag about their white spouses who tend to be just as racist as their parents. Their politics range from being far-right to neoliberal with the only leftists I’ve met being those with an estranged relationship with their parents.
the same reason enslavers wanted non-white bodies. as livestock or as pets.
they would probably treat their own bio children as pets too but squeezing out tiny humans doesn't stroke their ego like the social adulation of adopting or fostering.
guessing the same reason they fetishise poc, some do because they think it makes them progressive, some do it for humiliation.
i know the racist libs do it to show how progressive they are to other white libs
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 so
My half-sister married a crypto fascist and I'm banned from her house, so that's neat.
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.
Saying shit is why I'm banned lmao
Every nonwhite family has at least one of these In their family
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
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
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
Kuka? Is she Puerto Rican? I knew an older Puerto Rican lady named Kuka.
Please feel free not to answer to avoid doxxing though.
cuca is also a nickname in mexico
Ah. It's a nickname for Maria?
i think so, but i seen it being used for concepcion
Funny, according to Wikitionary, Cuca refers to
An evil old hag in Brazilian folklore, said to attack children who don't go to bed early.
That's it and nah she from mexico so idk why she has that she just said that's her family nickname
