A Handy guide on if you are just racially white or white presenting/passing

this is not an exclusive guide, it can only be determined by an individual of their identity, however i know there is a lot of confusion on being racially white & non european or being a racially ambiguous white presenting/passing person. this is mainly a guide for white passing/presenting people who i've seen are confused on their identity and need some basic guidelines!

White presenting is used to refer to any ethnic group. White passing is used specifically to refer to the Black diaspora.

So,

First thing is first, what are you ethnically? If the answer is anything mixed with non-european (Grandparents or closer, being 100%), you can be classed as an ethnic minority.

Now, how often are you perceived? As a white person? As your non-european heritage?

Is there any "what are you *really*?" questions, any follow-up questions when you say that you are a white person?

If the answer is:

You are solely perceived as white, you are a racially white ethnic minority.

You are perceived as your non-european heritage an equal amount of times you are perceived as white, you're white passing/presenting poc.

You are perceived solely as your ethnic minority, you are poc - no white presenting/passing labels.

You are perceived an equal amount white and non-european, with follow up questions or doubt about being 100%/racially white - you're white passing/presenting poc and racially ambiguous.

You are perceived only as non-european identities, with follow up questions about what kind of brown/black/East Asian you are - you're racially ambiguous and poc.

This must also take into account your race in your home countries, the country and environment you grew up in, and the country and environment you currently live in - to form your racial identity as accurately as possible.

Terveh rahvaš, miun karjalan kieli ei ole ylen hyvä vielä. Se on vaikieta konša en ymmärrä mitein luatie laušien tai šanan jotta se kuulostah hyvältä.

A, mie luajin tälläišen jotta mie kerron teille jotta mi on karjala ta mikši pakinoin vienan karjalakši.

A se on ylen helppo kieli mitä livvin karjala tai ööö mitä šitten on esim. suvikarjala, tver, lyydi ta vepsänkarjala. Joku noišta on äijän eri kieli en tiijä oliko se lyydi vai vepsä. Muiten moni niištä kuulostah erilaišelta jotta se on vaikie tuumaija jotta mitä ihmini šanuo.

Vienan karjalan kieli on ylen lähellä suomen kieltä konša se on karjalan lähin kieli tai šanoisin suomi on lähinkieli karjalalla.

Laitoin kakši kuvua alle nin niät miššä on mikä. Vienan karjala on ylen iso alue kuin eteläkarjala ta punaini kuva alahualla ei ole i mikä išo alue, toi karjalan kannaš.

Monilla šuomalaisilla on juurie karjalašta esim. suojärvi, suomusalmi, viipuri, johannes ta hyö männih kutain mihinkin ta ašettu kaikkialla šuomešša.

Karjalaišia on ylen äijän mutta niitä ei i ken lašketa hyvin. Mi wikipedie šanuo nin karjalaišia on noin 70.000 kanšua. Ei tiijetä tarkkua määryä.

Hoš olet kiinnostunuh karjalan kieleštä nin tiijän ylen hyvän kaupan jošta voi oštua šanakirjoja ta muita šellaišie. Kaupan nettišivun nimi on karjalan Sivistysseura.

Passipo ken lukie tämän poštauksen.

The unique ethnic minority experience of seeing a vintage piece of traditional clothing of your culture on sale labelled as “ethnic-inspired” by a white reseller to a white audience, and then going absolutely feral bidding for it because you feel like you have to rescue it for your own culture.

#BAME #ethnic minority #the number of qipaos and cheongsam’s I’ve seen sold by white people using them as Halloween or sexualised outfits #with an ethnic twist apparently #i will use my disposable income to bring it safely back into my culture #even if it doesn’t fit me I can give it to someone else who will treasure it and respect it

Artists Against Tyranny

Burma is considered a culturally diverse country. The complexicity of the diversity is interesting and it is also fascinating. Once you dive into a domain of diversity, multiple sub-element emerges.

We encompass different values, beliefs, norms and beauty.

There are 8 main ethnicities in the country; Kachin, Kayah, Karen, Chin, Mon, Burmese, Rakhine and Shan. Wait, that is not all. There are many different sub-ethnicities. Shan, for example, was historically ruled by 33 different Saopoa (a term in Shan language meaning local governors), therefore can be seen as 33 sub ethnicities; Kokang, Danu, Ta'ang, Palong, Lahu, Wa, MawShan, Pao to name a few.

You think this is alot of sub-ethnicities. What about if I say that up to 53 sub-ethnicities can be seen in Chin; Salai, Naga, KlinKaw, Kumi, Tedim, Matu to name a few.

Lets talk about Kachin. Depending on who we ask we get the answer between 6 to 12 sub-ethnicities. To name a few, they are Jainhpaw, Rawan, Rongow, LaChit to name a few.

Karen and Rakhine are also pretty diverse. To name a few; Arakan, Myo, Tat for Rakhine and S'gaw, Poe, P'Ku for Karens.

What about majority Burmese? It also have some diversities. Nine different sub-burmese ethnicities are known so far. Burmese, Yaw, Salone, DaWay, Gadu, Taung Tar, GaNan, Myate, Poan.

Mon, however, has one sub-ethnicity only which is Mon :)

Ok. This is as far as we can wrap out heads around 🥸🥵😶😭😶🤯🤯🤯. Let's move onto the fun part. Let's see some of the ethnic costumes that we can get our hands on.

Rishi Sunak as British PM Hopeful: What Will the Indian Connection Mean?

The Daily Torygraph recently debated that the recent leadership contest proves that the Conservative party is genuinely inclusive. The basis for the claim was that the leadership candidate list featured female candidates, veterans as well as candidates from ethnic minorities. I’d argue that the word inclusivity does not apply to the Conservative party, as thanks to them, there was a nearly 10,000…

"Ignoring or erasing how a person's racial and cultural background influences the things they create is erasing the part ethnic minorities play in history and the formation of different cultures"

and

"Saying that something isn't actually British/American/etc because it was created by an immigrant or someone in an ethnic minority group is another way of saying that immigrants and their children are not really part of the countries they immigrated to and they'll always be outsiders"

are both true statements.

#this is about how many people say that foods invented by ethnic and racial minorities in britain aren't actually british foods #which has some really nasty implications about how you view the place of immigrants and ethnoreligious people in society

Fishskin Robes of the Ethnic Tungusic People of China and Russia

The Hezhe people 赫哲族 (also known as Nanai 那乃) are one of the smallest recognized minority groups in China composed of around five thousand members. Most live in the Amur Basin, more specifically, around the Heilong 黑龙, Songhua 松花, and Wusuli 乌苏里 rivers. Their wet environment and diet, composed of almost exclusively fish, led them to develop impermeable clothing made out of fish skin. Since they are part of the Tungusic family, their clothing bears resemblance to that of other Tungusic people, including the Jurchen and Manchu.

They were nearly wiped out during the Imperial Japanese invasion of China but, slowly, their numbers have begun to recover. Due to mixing with other ethnic groups who introduced the Hezhen to cloth, the tradition of fish skin clothing is endangered but there are attempts of preserving this heritage.

Although Hezhen clothing is characterized by its practicality and ease of movement, it does not mean it’s devoid of complexity. Below are two examples of ornate female Hezhen fishskin robes. Although they may look like leather or cloth at first sight, they’re fully made of different fish skins stitched together. It shows an impressive technical command of the medium.

The Nivkh people of China and Russia also make clothing out of fish skin. Like the Hezhen, they also live in the Amur Basin but they are more concentrated on and nearby to Sakhalin Island in East Siberia.
