Adopted Latin Americans have some of the heaviest racial baggage I’ve come across, at least the visibly non-white ones do.
Met one today who told me their adopted mother said they were attracted to Latin American men but didn’t “get involved with the lowlifes of that culture.” Also seems to think we aren’t “civilized” because of a cultural issue.
I really am not a fan of interracial adoption because it leads to shit like this. And the best part is how predictably they end up dating exclusively white and putting Anglo culture on a pedestal. Completely colonized mentally and physically.
So ayup
My experiences so far trying to befriend white people for the first time in 10 years:
Transfem commie. Very cool, very cultured in the arts, very fun to joke and hang around with
Transfem liberal. Said Iranians were just trying to flex on Israel because authoritarianism. Also said I'm lucky to be Asian cause I'm inherently more feminine
Transfem liberal. Big Kamala/Tim supporter and can't stop talking about them. Also obsessed with Waymos
Cis lesbian commie. Very artsy, lots in common. We met to just hookup and I tried to hang with her again but ig she just wanted to hit it and quit it :(

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.
