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?

It would be so much easier to unite if our own damn people weren't fueling the fire.

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Figuring out some choice chisme and wanting to share it is so damn good, gives me something to look forward to. In retrospect it makes so much sense and I feel like a smarty pants for figuring it out catgirl-smug it involves my friend group I'll only tell one of them tonight the rest can figure out on their own

I half think trump is going extra authoritarian not just to drum up his base support and hide his Epstein ties, but to provoke the "libs" into doing 2020 style protest so they can start shooting

I've been enjoying carne de soya a lot recently, 4 dollars a largish bag basically textured vegetable protein if anyone interested. Go to is sauteed an onion, mushrooms, and some carrots. Add some sauces like BBQ and chilli into it and water and finally mix the stuff in. I make a solid amount and I add some ground flax seed in to thicken it up.

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.

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

The vegan bakery emailed me to set up an interview!

When the issue of inequality are raised do Americans welcome a Russian or Chinese invasion or is this logic only applied to Iranians etc? thats-why-im-confused Watching this vid and its a reminder of how goofy some white feminism can be https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r3kIs2RDVQk&pp=ugUHEgVlbi1HQg%3D%3D

I recently learned that the woman who sings the song All Around the World (Lisa Stansfield) is white, and the shock still hasn't worn off yet.

white people who do fake jokey racism would be publicly racist if it was more socially acceptable

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It’s all just a joke until you make fun of their nonracial immutable trails.

Talk about their dicks and suddenly they’ve got a PHD in sociology and are captain woke

[–] AlHouthi4President@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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

I doubt the referral for the job did me any good, so job hunting hell continues and continues and continues and continues...

They never got back to me or updated me in any capacity.

Even as I waited for a response from the job I had the referral from, I've been scrolling so many places to see if I can get hired, and it's honestly getting a depressive level of repetitive just looking at job boards over and over and over again.

I'm at a point where I'm hardly in any capacity to be picky anymore... I'm applying to places that are even around 2 hour walks if I must, and in this hot ass sun? Perhaps a death sentence, but I don't have the capacity to be picky about anything. However, it's not like that matters. Regardless of the job, getting hired seems not to be a possibility.

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.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

If it's any consolation, there are a lot of White people in this country (too many) as it is so unless you're deliberately focusing on POC you'll likely end up in cracker country.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

I've had the luck of mostly being surrounded by POC for most of my life and being able to find people that have similar interests and, to a lesser extent, political leanings.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can totally relate. Usually have some connection to my people near me. Haha

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

Same exact experience because of my interests, values, and dating requirements. Seeking Black people who align with my ideal traits for a partner is always gonna be seeking an extreme minority within a minority, but at this rate, being single forever seems preferable to dating bleach demons (or non-Black people in general). I'm not a fan of amatonormativity in the first place.

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