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.

In tiktok i saw a drama from dragon's den that was about some s trying to sell gentrified bobba tea saying all others were unhealthy or had unknown stuff in them.
Crakkkers love to steal stuff and then say the original is bad
Typical shit. Best boba I’ve ever had was in Canada in a random viet mini mall food court stall, it was cheap and delicious and they gave me free ice cream too :)
I've been seeing this around too. My question is, literally what makes their tea more special than going to a shop and getting it fresh? It's literally tea, why do they act like they're inventing something new.
its only because its canned and bottled its not even the first company to do it, they implied that all other boba tea has strange and unknown contents and theirs is safe because its bottled
also they said "its not an ethnical product anymore" as a positive
They should have been laughed off the stage.
You know what's funny? I partially become more aware of this issue because a former coworker commented on the story, on LinkedIn nonetheless, saying something along the lines of free speech, first ammendment, and he eats at chipotle and is Mexican. A completely obtuse and reactionary response. But I guess every minority group has them so what can you do.
leave it to an anglo to bust out the divide and conquer tactics as soon as they're catching some heat
at least they didn't bring up MSG right
