Remember, EM POC only!
Vibes are off. That's really all I can say about my energy right now.
How are all of the rest of the EM POC comrades?

Racism being a bonding process from youth to adulthood for sooooo many and being used as a shit test poc to see if they can be in their inner circle and how much shit they can put up with. Very annoying
"how can we be friends if you don't allow me to call you racial slurs and make stereotype jokes about you"
Reminds me of a guy I was training around the time Trump made the comment about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs and... Yeah... Let's just say he definitely gave off this vibe whenever he would talk about POC. Just glad I had to deal with him for just a week.
Funny, that anecdote reminds of a time that there was this simmering pro-MAGA student (let's call him Bon) in my high school who had such similiar vibe
CW: racism
(Bon said he'd rather believe COVID came from someone eating bats, not a lab leak, Idk which one's more worse)
The kicker. He was in a majority-POC, if not majority-Asian high school area, and either due to him keeping a low key, others just tolerating him, or both, he somehow kept his friendships.
Unfortunately I feel like the pressure to assimilate into American society leads a lot of POC who immigrated or have parents that immigrated to the US to believe that part of that assimilation is to be ok with racism. It doesn't help that in recent times the mainstreaming of the rightwing perspective of cancel culture or woke has lead a lot of POC to adopt it and let way more shit slide than they should.
that IS part of assimilating to america tho. this process is available to all groups except black people, thats how diffrent groups became white over time.
No kidding. Just me speaking in a normal voice thats deep already unsettled em. Just normal convo
If I got money from hearing "It's just a joke bro" after some of the worst slurs and stereotype jokes about my ethnicity/race, I could have probably make one down payment for a housing. I can't believe I didn't get into more fights in high school and post-secondary.
