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?
- Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
- Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.

White hexbear users at it again. Post about how two jewish guests in some uk place idc turned on the tv and were "horrified" (actual words) to see "free palestine" on a tv screen.
"here's how this is actually bad for white jews in europe/north america" they also used the sentence "this is gonna cause a turbo genocide against jews cause the west already blames them for everything" yeah idk I wonder who's commiting the "turbo genocide" agaisnt who rn. Can't say I care about genocide supporters getting their consequences just cause they were oppressed decades ago. God forbid we acknowledge the current situation. Somehow no other group who's also been genocided is free from criticism tho.
I'm not going to get bent about the potential of hardship nor am I going to think about it when actual unfathomable atrocities are currently happening.
Here we go again
Edit: lol they got banned for “hostility”, once again confirming my thesis that every white hexbear user sits on a spectrum ranging from Strom Thurmond to Adolf Hitler
Damn that's crazy. I typed hexbear.net into my browser and somehow ended up on Reddit 🤔
Does it say who the mod was that removed your (factually correct) comment?
Lmao ofc whites get offended over civility and not genocide apologetics.
EDIT:Nvm I somehow missed the mod name the first time.
Keld made the comment, to my knowledge you have to be a mod on a comm to see the specific names of the mods who made the action
Oh makes sense. Thank you!
one psyop after amother
Also LMAO at the idea of whites avenging the murder of muslims by killing other whites
The average white hexbear user is completely indistinguishable from Columbus’ contemporaries who abhorred his cruelty not because they thought it was wrong to murder indigenous people, but because it would inevitably result in colonizers getting owned.
There's so few details about what happened and we know that Western media loves reporting on this "antisemitism" situations by sharing only select details, so how is it that people still fall for this shit? They could have been talking about how much they love Israel or hell, even just altered the message themselves to make themselves look like victims. But sure, lets just go ahead and take this vague reporting at face value
