Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
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?

We should takeover ICE and start deporting white people back to Europe. "Sorry but being born here no longer means you're a citizen because we've decided to bring back the Iroquois Confederacy."
"What? Nooo! We meant the other Confederacy! How could this be happening to me?"
call the cops on mayos
call ICE on 100% mayo-populated crowds
waste people's time and resources trying to look for the darkest person in the grocery store
do it as anonymously as you can
we cannot afford to play nice with the "nice whites". Everything you do is moral and right
China and JDPON can't move in without help!
jk this comment is a COMPLETE JOKE do NOT do any of this
You should pretend to be a Trumper in public, and collude with any smart POC you can find behind the scenes.
Anything you do is justified and moral
any loans and debt you can go into is basically worth it since they're gonna steal all your stuff anyway
plan for maximum extraction and maximum damage. do not be thrifty
if you get caught unplanned, you still have hammers and knives and pistols
help the JDPON gain a foothold
I'm just kidding that was a schizophrenic rant from another dimension
