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.

Remember no crackers
At this point I'd rather hear something like "the cheek clapper" creepypasta than another goddamn skinwalker/wendigo/insert some other shit white people take and bastardize into their bs scary stories. At a certain point if you're gonna steal from other people's belief systems at least do a little research and put some effort in.
one thing that pisses me off of the whitewashed skinwalker/wendigo stories is that they would work well as werewolf stories but for some reason writers dont like using them so they try to bastardise some native myth instead, its like if every vampire story used any undead creature to replace vampires
I imagine a lot of it is just jumping on trends, werewolves are a solid pick I agree for most of the ones I've heard. The completely made up ones I prefer but they have to lend it credence by attaching it to something everyone vaguely knows in the online horror story circles.
They’re funny because it takes a lot to become a skinwalker and there’s very few people who have made all the steps. The amount of stories and fake videos would have you believe the entire Navajo nation are skinwalkers.
That or they just make them mindless beasts or whatever, honestly using the term interchangeably for whatever story they want to make is so damn annoying.
Haven't posted here in a bit mostly thinking as soon as I post it'll get changed to a fresh one. Today's been nice, studying on my own and also spending time outside. The job search starts now that my training is over and I got what I hope are marketable skills. Got some big bills to look forward to 
gotta help pull my family up and also deal with my own emotional baggage on the side.
Alright, good luck to you, Wmill!
Much appropriated already dreamt of having an office job, was horrible but eh prob a sign
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.
This place is just as yankee chauvinist as I left it. Joke of a supposed "People of color" community.
You people will make all the excuses for a fascist soldier, but none for the victim.
Do you think you're the only victim of American imperialism here?
Are you the one who got that soldier to have a meltdown? Solid work.
