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.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening depending on where you are, comrades.
I finally reached my goal for c/mutual_aid. It was scary as hell, but we're here now. Thank you to everyone who gave support.
I'm looking forward to having some more chill EM POC vibes today!
Sometimes, I just wake up in the morning, and my "I Can't Stand Fucking CracKKKers" meter is going off the charts.
Might this be one of those mornings? 
What did they think would happen? I truly am curious

Before: The leopards definitely won't eat my face.
After: The leopards ate my face, WTF
I think the worst part about being mixed-race is the white portion of your family are walking, talking microaggressions. Just a barrage of shit you have to deal with internally because you have to save energy for arguments against things so fundamentally wrong they must be shut down immediately lest they fester into something worse.
Just so tiresome and I wish I could just leave.
Has anyone else on yer family tried to deal with the other kkkrakkkas side of the family?
No because the ones who aren't fascist sympathizers are civility libs 😑
Unfortunately I don't have much contact with the non-white side since our dad was a major piece of shit so we're only now getting to know one another as adults.
Freiza just wants to be taller. Hes a petty asshole but honestly let him have this one
Relate. My last comment where I said I'm 6'5" on c/badposting was a total fucking lie. I actually can't even reach the top shelf because I'm a foot below that.
Wish granted.
Good morning nerds 
Magandang umaga din!
The car place I'm going to is owned by a (assumingly) working class white man, which to me screams trump supporter or conservative for convince. I'm using this time to practice talking with different individuals, and also not making assumptions, but when it's just me in a place like that I get so stressed out.

Working class... does this guy mainly work for a wage/salary, or on his petty property? Get it straight!
If it is his petty property, he is probably one of the settler-colonial petit bourgeois USonian, the main demographic of Trump
Ooh good point. It seemed he both owns the place and does the work too but he has at least 1 other worker so he's petty b
Doled out my two week notice at this crummy job and they immediately hired my replacement.
They have an MCSE cert and management is showering them with respect and they're even being paid more than me
I'm fighting the urge to wipe my laptop and create the biggest information vacuum the department has ever seen.
I hope the company folds harder than fresh laundry.
My job with the transit agency can't happen any sooner. I want to pull a 4 hour notice but I need these knuckleheads for employment verification in the future and I can't risk nuking my finances because despite everything I still need the money
I'm also having the worst adhd meltdown ever since ever

These politicians have more of a chance of wearing blackface than getting good long lasting legislation through. 
Wishful thinking, but it'd be cool if this tanks his chances enough that he takes his ads off the air. Then again it'd barely be a dent in the sea of frothing NY fash running for office talking about securing the borders and working with the police.
i got a cold on the first week of my internship
