Hello nerds 
hope you all have a good next week
Remember no crackers
It was pretty funny Kirk got shot
I hate how "don't talk about politics" because it just means white people can be soft racist without consequences
I hate how I feel like a job offer is so close to me but simultaneously feel like it'll never actually be in my reach.
I remember the hell that was watching the George Lopez show, I always kept hoping it would get better but nah. The literal 🪱 grandfather I could never be sure if they were fully making fun of him in the 
way or not but if memory serves his family had slaves.
It's crucial to be materialist during these times. Losing 13 billion in soybean, car manufacturer plant stalled because deportation blowback, un finally saying its a genocide, all of these things are related and interdependent on each other. All else that's happening is facism thrashing for the only power they can control and capitalist hoarding wealth by budding up to power.
Screw Kimmel. I ain't forget about this 
He did a lot of things on the Man show that would get him cancelled today
Oh lord, wtf, it was worse than I expected
Bad day to have eyes.
I forgot about him doing blackface, but its pretty telling that he got pulled for criticizing Trump and not for this.
racism and general nonsense
this isn't just blackface, this has levels to it, the beard the basketball, doing a regular black face is like a racist squeezing their eyes and say to mock east asian people, whatever this guy's doing is pulling out an orientalist outfit round glasses and fake teeth, this guy is not a casual racist, this is the type of guy that you quit racism for because there's too many sweats, and he got away with it for years this guy's a one man esport team. a one man klan.
I expect cannibalism to return as a mainstream racist rhetoric in the next 10 years
They've been using that for Haitian immigrants already.
really? like is it mainstream or just 4chan boards type of thing?
I’ve heard it in person from Dominicans. It’s very mainstream for them
Dominicans.
Whose nation-state are the perps of the Parsley massacre?
Can confirm
Alhamdullah I don't live anywhere near the west
damn
And remember for a lot of right wingers its been a way to smear native Americans for years hell decades to say they were cannibals. Hell I bet several believe bone tomahawk or cannibal holocaust is legit
This shit again. Makes me think
Westerners aren’t helpless innocents whose minds are injected with atrocity propaganda, science fiction-style; they’re generally smug bourgeois proletarians who intelligently seek out as much racist propaganda as they can get their hands on. This is because it fundamentally makes them feel better about who they are and how they live. The psychic and material costs are rationally worth the benefits.
bone tomahawk
I still can't get over them doing "not real Indians" in that movie, despite them still being human. During that part of the movie, I thought it was going to be revealed they weren't actual Native Americans as in "they're actually feral British vampires" or dinosaurs or something. Nope! Movie just wanted an excuse to do ethnic cleansing and not have the audience feel bad about it.
I was cheering when the settler got cleaved in half.

Couldn’t find a single one being critical of this dehumanizing behavior.
This is, once again, more insight into the problem of racial fetishism being an extremely socially acceptable form of racism.
This is more insight into the issue of people being racist so long as they can get away with it.
This is more insight into the tendency for people to reduce what counts as "racist" down to men in white hoods lynching dark-skinned people.
It also is a yet another instance of white nonsense that continues to validate my decision to never date out again.
And stupid fucks act like we're supposed to be grateful about it. 
Like the God's themselves have smiled down in favor upon us
Considering precisely how much fetishism goes around and is rooted in serious fucked up history how in this capitalist society everything including relationships is commodified as transactional this just grosses me out and is a big red flag. And it further dehumanizes the people into thinking the only thing the subject of ridicule values is to be a commodity so as to find this bullshit flattering.
I love how much you use
I'm sorry I'm subjecting to this fuckery
fetishism too
I couldn't find the specific tweet, but it was some girl saying something like "'y'all I am persian and [fetishism of black people] every week, but the mullahs have to go", like she thought it was a progressive thing to say
🪱 my gf 🥺 she won't stop shit talking Castro 😩
whats she saying about him? he’s too hot so he must have been the devil?
She mostly eats dirt but it's vibes based insults
Reading about heroin and Afghanistan just reminds me back to opium and China etc, I'm straight edged vegan myself but yeah 
really do be pushing poison. I remember hearing on crack too and don't doubt it was tied to Iran Contra but like I haven't read any books on it yet, if someone has a good one be cool for a title 
xvx gang
We out here
Got an interview tomorrow. It's with a place that does offers on the spot... I so fucking hope I get this.
you got it!

the same right wingers who were making fun of George Floyd for 5 years straight, editing him into everything, downplaying his death, reenacting it, Suddenly find saying "it's ironic how Kirk died" to be the most offensive thing ever?
And they're still peddling the "drug overdose counterfeiter" angle, despite everything we know about Chauvin owing Floyd money and them knowing each other beforehand.
"Never believe the antisemites are unaware of the absurdity of their claims" etc.
He was killed by a white man while using a tired old dogwhistle of "gang violence" to imply black on black violence. Its extremely ironic and extremely funny and they can go kick rocks if they don't like that.
Apparently the man who thinks the civil rights act was a mistake, cheering ICE, supports israel apartheid...... is an advocate for freedom
I think a lot of my anxiety comes about from being colored in public, it's that family guy skin tone meme where if you too dark it's loitering. Anyway fuck 
and fuck
Anyway fuck
Amen
May the 
never find rest
A few of our diaspora have willingly returned due to ICE scares and the culture shock is already too much. The lower standard of living and more socially conservative population clearly makes them uncomfortable. It’s why I always say you should strongly consider these things if you plan to live in the global south after living your entire life in the global north.
My issue is being disabled. I rely on a lot of medical supplies daily for stuff I won't gross out the class with. It might be out of the frying pan and into the fire. The first A in "ADA" isn't "Around the world."
its kinda sad that imperialism and neocolonialism created a positive feedback loop wherein third worlders move to western countries for better opportunities and pay with most becoming frothing reactionaries (due to basic class interest) who would kill every single one of their own just for the chance to be accepted as white
not saying your diaspora are like that, obviously. but a lot are.
Oh that kind definitely exists. It’s every white Guatemalan who insists they have full European ancestry.
who insists they have full European ancestry.
lol. lmao, even.
A lot of whites don't even think of Spaniards as white because they speak Spanish. However racist you think Americans can be, for example, realize it's probably double or triple whatever you imagine.
I've always told people that I could never move to my parents country because I just don't fit in. The few times I've visited I'm sure I stick out like a sore thumb and I've never really been able to connect with my extended family. Everyone from my generation is either a bougie lib (mostly on my dad's side) or an evangelical (on my mom's side). The car culture there is probably on par, if not just as bad as it is in the US.

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.
