I had some family stuff that fucked me up, but I feel better now. I talked with my girlfriend about it. It's nice to have someone who listens.
how's everyone doing?
great! i'm getting my exam results pretty soon.
i'm pretty confident that i passed but anything can happen. it would be amazing if i got top grades tho
Any exciting news
not exciting, but i'm continuing applying for scholarships. i'm applying for 3 (4 if they let me)
i don't really know if i'll get them or not; my application is quite good, but the profiles of the scholarship winners are stacked with awards and stuff that i could never get.
at the expense of free time (they all want me to attend lectures, workshops, mentoring, internships, etc.) i'll be much more financially stable than i already am. my parents don't make much money and i would really hate to have to fallback on them for more
funny memes or stories
i cooked for my family for the second time! usually me and my sibilngs would cook every now and then, but this is my second time doing it alone. did a really good job on the soup but i screwed up the spaghetti lol
interesting takes
none
Comrades, I had a comment removed for making a joke about White women fucking dogs.
Is this racism?
(not really asking but thought it was funny)
You can't be racist to white people. Reverse racism isn't a thing.
I meant racism towards me but, it doesn't matter, I know it isn't.
Oh lmao sorry
My paranoia really fucks with me. Im hyper aware. I see death at every corner
Just finished day 4 of my 9 days in a row of work (for 18USD an hour) 🫡. Surely if I just continue working hard, keep my head down, and make responsible financial decisions, I'll be a gazillionare one day! Yipeee!! I love America :D

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.
