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.
- Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.

lol it's like when chuds talk about being the only white kid at school and since they got bullied, that made them racist. Or they talk about how black people never tip, so that's why they never give good service.
"Is me being racist why minorities treat me like shit? No, obviously I'm racist because it's their fault for being mean."
shit or doctors deciding black people have higher pain tolerance.
Mfs making assumptions of latina women being "fiery" due to third hand stories
Mfs don't even need to live that shit just hear old wives tales. If someone told em x group grew wings they'd be writing congress to investigate 🤣
"immigrants commit more crime"
-proof "my third cousin's dog got his treats stolen by an african sloughi"
Legit wondered if the superman movie would be released in the US since its a movie about an immigrant
Hell chuds are mad about the movie being about kindness
They will tell you superman is good because he is white christian american but if you post the smallville clip of clark calling himself an undocumented migrant they will start crying
Wait until they find out how Superman smashes the klan was instrumental in exposing the KKK badly. And that the creators of Superman are jewish. They will go belly up in rage
No wonder chuds seem to hate that superman movie. He's an "illegal immigrant" working on a farm
I havent watch it, but if J. Gunn is a real one he would focus on the "superman is an undocumented migrant" angle
Would be better than that snyder shit
I recently saw a meme where one panel had Spiderman saying "treat minorities with respect" with a kid admiring him in 1994, then the next panel was Spiderman saying the same thing but now the kid is grown up in 2025 and he's raging at how Spiderman is woke and he wasnt like this when he was a kid.
Lesson being, Spiderman didn't change, the kid just grew up to be a chud.
