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.

Tired of seeing (usually white) leftists promote antinatalism
God same. Especially when they focus on global south countries.
They aren't as explicit with their eugenics when they're talking about antinatalism in the Imperial Core. But they sure as shit go full-mask off when talking about the Global South. They'll repeat the neo-nazi "Great Replacement" conspiracy nonsense verbatim, yet it's okay because they're talking about people in Africa and Latin America.
I genuinely think the great replacement if it even was true would be a fucking boon for europe
explain further your viewpoint
On social media, I have seen this trend of white leftists talking about an "obligation" to reject procreation as a form of resistance against environmental damage and capitalist exploitation. I have seen white leftists endorse antinatalism from the more philosophical angle of "no one can consent to existence." I have seen a smaller amount of, but still some, white leftists who uphold EFILism (the belief that all sentient life on Earth should be extinguished because suffering is inherent to life.)
In case it isn't clear, of course I'm not a diehard "pronatalist" who believes that calls to reproduce should be actively pushed onto people, but the belief that procreation is inherently unethical coming from white people especially rubs me the wrong way. Colonized peoples constantly have their existence denied, both via psychological mechanisms (i.e., having ideas that they are "less worthy" pushed onto them) and literal violence. Procreation is something I can only view as a radical act when it is coupled with a people's desire to prevail even when imperialism and systemic oppression tells them otherwise.
yeah, saw that hard when looking at the reaction towards the genocide in Gaza, they see children during bombing and famine and decide to stop the children instead of the famine and bombing.
