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?

Angel’s posts have inspired me to try and restart my journey into veganism. I was recommended a vegan diet by my doctor because of hereditary high cholesterol that’s been the cause of death for most of the men in my family. I started off okay but found it hard because I’m in a small rural town where beef is a huge part of life and the culture is still trying to understand vegetarianism, let alone Veganism. Seeing Angel’s posts have made me want to try again.

I figure it’s worth a trip to the city for some ingredients I can’t grow myself or find locally. There’s also more options than I thought because I recently learned vegan options have become more common because of new mothers requesting them.

soviet-bottom I'm glad to hear about my impact here. I really hope it goes well for you. If you need any assistance about food or even anything else (like clothing or hygiene), let me know. Care-Comrade
