Dawg I hate how everytime a brown person gets atomised it's a "distraction from the Epstein files"
whoever you're talking about probably thought palestine was a "distraction" from the 2024 us election. worthless americans.
Sadly, this tagline rings all too true, even if we reduce to 'white people'
"Why do you rich fucking white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?"
Time to repurpose 'the history of the Palestine-Israel conflict began on October 7th' anytime someone says shit like this. Venezuela has been facing sanctions and other hostile acts from the US for years ever since Chavez began the revolution. Heck, even before that US imperialism had a grip on Venezuela and the Americas. The culmination of all of that being a war that just so happens to coincide with the personal matter of one of the empire's elite does not make it a "distraction" tactic.
Read about the time WW2 in a British pub US soldiers were unhappy they weren't segregated from the black soldiers. This resulted in brawls where the white British soldiers sided with the black soldiers 
they made PSAs warning the troops about how the wacky brits will invite both Black soldiers and white soldiers to tea at the same time 
If I recall, even Aussie soldiers didn't know what the deal with those US soldiers were, and some sided with Black soldiers against their white bigoted counterparts.
Edit: Aussies, if you ask me, were the ones who put the White Australia policy. So, I guess it's difference between relatively casual racism and then competitive racism (Amerikkka)
I don't think its dawned on a lot how truly terrible a lot of Americans are because those Epstein leaks won't do shit. To those of us who had to listen to fucking yanks casually talk about glassing our countries....
Demonstrates how even so-called "progressives" and liberals in the US are just the moderate wing of fascism. They'll justify Iraq out one side of their mouth, then make excuses why Bill Gates and Prince Andrew shouldn't be redacted by FBI handler. Their support for Isreal is another. They'll criticisize Muslim nations over LGBTQ+ rights, while Isreal doesn't even allow gay marriage and the US is actively trying to eliminate those rights wherever possible.
It's in-groups and out-groups. Republicans want the in-group to be limited to wealthy cishet WASP men, while democrats think it should be limited to some places inside the US border and a few ~~white~~ European countries.

Would hexbear ban him?
Hexbear is sadly still full of crackers so they would prolly. He's still right tho.
No choice but to ban after confirmation that El-Kurd is a wrecker z-poster alt 😒
There’s always that one western poc who goes on about white supremacy, pride for their race, and how whites are the devil and then nearly their entire dating history is white.
Reminds me of this that was floating around a few years ago before Melon bought Twitter:

Epstein victim and still voted trump. Guess you hated brown people that much that you voted your tormentor's friend
i can excuse pedos but i draw the line at brown people
"Its not about you" it is.. It literally is. Stop trying to whitewash him again.
White people are always white before they are anything else.
Which is why I'm always Black before anything else ✌🏿
Stop making this political? Show some class?
May I introduce you to class warfare?
I guess she believed the campaign
Records of trump and Epstein friendship preceded his presidential campaigns too.
yeah
Just going off my vibes rather than actual data TBH, but, truthfully, I am beginning to feel like interracial couples (mainly thinking of Black x white couples) who are truly the non-problematic kind—two people who genuinely love each other and just so happen to be of different races—are an extreme minority when it comes to interracial couples. There usually seems to be some underlying problematic dynamic, such as internalized racism, performative wokeness, and fetishism (especially with how normalized and socially acceptable fetishism is).
i'd give you actual data about how a majority of interracial couples (specifically non-white x white) experience problems such as abuse (coming from the white side specifically) but unfortunately there are many crackers here and in leftist spaces who find this kind of rhetoric too uncomfortable, opting instead to insult the messenger and proclaim to let "people love who they love" or that MLK died so that black people could date whites (i've witnessed both cases).
don't get me started on how many interracial relationships in regions such as south east asia come from exploitative sexpats.
Unfortunately I've had guys who were sexually into me that were racist towards me in highschool. I didn't know there were people who wouldn't be racist towards me until a while after highschool, so I thought i had to put up with that shit.
Something that has never happened to me during this whole job hunting process just happened, and it's so damn weird (but it's actually positive).
A company that didn't hire me months back had turnover, and instead of just reposting the position on job boards, they decided to email me saying:
"Our system is showing that you applied for [position] back on [date], however that requisition was closed at the time. We now have a few positions available and want to reach out and see if you were still interested in a position with our organization. If you are, please respond to this email with some days/times that you would be open for a quick phone screen."
At first, I thought it could've been a scam or 🧢 but the email isn't lying. The date it listed actually is a date I applied, and it is a legitimate position for a company that I can actually locate and read about online on their official website. I did all the usual maneuvers to check for phishing and whatnot.
This is so god damn rare for companies to do, and it's honestly just sad how rare it is.
It shouldn't be hard for companies to do this.
As usual, expectations are low, but at least something different happened for once, so I went ahead and replied with some times.
This happened to me before and I got it. Putting out hope they need/want you

Even saying that you should possibly pull the lever is antisemitic
Interview went well! Just a quick check-in!
In-person one is a week from now... 🤞🏿
My disdain for gusanos grows the more I read the corporation, holy shit
had way more restraint than I would have had.
If I hear another white redhead complain or say that the discrimination they face is anywhere near or on the same level as discrimination/oppression on the basis of race/ethnicity/skin color I'm gonna burst a god damn blood vessel. These bleachskins are too bold.
man that “redheads are the black people of white people” trend that was going on a few months ago was pmo. “redheads feel more pain and don’t take anesthesia well” as if medical literature doesn’t still state that black people feel less pain, it gets to a point
While they're out here thinking that their hair yields them systemic oppression, wearing natural hair will actually do that to a Black person.
It's fucking weird that anyone wants people of our race gone just because of being a race, all over some dumb race conspiracies. Sometimes this fact is in the back of my mind, sometimes it's at the front. I woke up and this was all brand new to me for a quick few seconds, and now I'm remembering it's a normal part of surviving American life. Real damper on the mood.
Accidentaly interacted with a zionist, cleansing my mind here with fellow poc: death to the zionist entity in our lifetime 
Its wild that India put rocket missions to the moon and mars at a combined cost lower than most other nations hell lower than Hollywood movie slopfest budgets and the only discourse you hear is racist shit.
I will never get the internet and frankly I don't want to
Yakubposting getting tons of upbears
Wew
"but uhmmm nation of Islam is reactionary" ah my bad continue being racist.
TIL misogyny directed at Marjorie Taylor Greene and transphobia directed at Caitlyn Jenner is a-okay
"Elon Musk acts a little odd, Let's make fun of disabled people"
Thinking about this a lot lately. Empire has its tentacles in everything on earth. Damn.
A monopoly, once it is formed and controls thousands of millions, inevitably penetrates into every sphere of public life, regardless of the form of government and all other details.

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.
