im newsed out y'all, too much is happening I need a boring week. how yall doing? come chat, vent, and joke. em poc only. also ive been seeing an uptick in misogynoir on hexbear. its fine to attack kamala for being a bad person and what not yall but please make sure you are checking yourself for brain worms yall you are not immune to misogynoir. think "if a leftist black women came here and read my comment, would she feel uncomfortable?" "am I keeping this a welcoming space for black women"
What's the line on food insults (banana, coconut, Oreo)? For example, calling someone a banana is mostly an insult on how that Asian person is whitewashed and isn't in touch with their roots. Is there a difference between saying a POC is whitewashed and saying a POC is not a POC due to X reasons because those are two very different things to me.
Or is your point that even though Harris has shitty politics, she isn't particularly whitewashed and is just a Black/Blasian woman with terrible politics?
ok yes terms like banana and criticizing someone for being out of touch with their culture is fine, but you cant invalidate someone's POC status. You can understand why we would not want that to be normalized around here. also we all agree that a lot of the policing of the behavior of POC is very cringe (like saying someone acts white for listening to a certain music genre, or just not meeting a stereotypical expectation.) there will be no hard ban on words but issues will be dealt with on a case by case basis. in short you can't say someone who is unambiguously poc is white, but you can make fun of them for being out of touch with their respective communities. Edit sorry had to check something first
I agree with this. Sounds reasonable.
i have some thoughts but I shall discuss with the other em poc mods then get back to this comment.
That's cool. I think it's important to have a consistent and explicit line.
