#racial microaggressions

[fandomshatepeopleofcolor]

Yeah Matthew Perry is an asshole and what he said was cruel but how is it racist? What race has to do with that?

So I'm tired and I did the googling for you

go learn a few things and after you've done your homework maybe we can talk if you still have questions.

also you're here because of this

Do you guys wanna see Chuuzuru? Of course you do

Needed a hassled part-timer NPC in the campaign I'm co-DMing and the idea of Tsuzuru as a little rodent wouldn't leave me

#a3! #the group made him experience racial microaggressions

Do diaspora PoC actually like it when white fans keep race-bending random Batkids? Apparently Jason's Asian now too? In a fic where he had red hair. And I'm sorry but white people making Jay Latino and Tim East Asian is racist stereotypying. The entire point of Tim is his white privilege.

Y'all are a hair away from making one of these people white-passing Black or Native, and I don't think you'd understand the enormity of insult that would be either. Unless you actually belong to the community you're race-bending them for, please for the love of God stop. This isn't representation, it's brownface for brownie points.

#it's becoming impossible to engage with this fandom without encountering a racial microaggression by fake woke USAmerican idiots #the Roma dick grayson thing is bad enough #y'all dont even know how to colour brown people #WFA's damian is the same shade as duke what the hell #fuck off with this shit #batfamily #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #damian wayne #duke thomas #cassandra cain #stephanie brown #bruce wayne #fandom wank #racism #asian representation #media representation #spite waffle

not even a dunmeshi fan (I LIKED THE LIKE 9 CHAPTERS I READ AGES AGO I JUST CANNOT READ COMICS TO SAVE MY LIFE and i don't feel like being an anime only chud) but the prevalence of people shipping that white boy and the other guy who doesn't like him is hilarious. you're handed yuri on a silver platter and turn the plate over and there's a tiny yaoi ant crawling around under there and that is what you choose to fixate upon rather than the full yuri meal this woman is presenting to you

#also people on twitter taking the scene of him being yelled at for committing racial microaggressions and being like 'i'm autistic and this #hurt me 🥲' made me feel fucking crazy i'm putting him on a high shelf so people have to think about/sympathize with other characters

truly one of the most frustrating things about being minoritized & in particular racially minoritized is the absolutely unhinged paranoia of ‘is this actually bad or am i just wildly misinterpreting the circumstance’ that it generates in you. like you kind of have to be on guard but sometimes you overcorrect. and other times you convince yourself you were just being paranoid when you were in fact correct. ime the latter is much more common but it’s not universally the case SO what are you supposed to do u know. what’s the solution here.

#it is extremely helpful to have a friend who is also minoritized in a similar way #people who do not experience racial/ethnic minoritization ime almost always tell you you’re being overdramatic #i actually really hate the term ‘microaggressions’ bc like it is descriptive and useful #but also it allows people to treat it as something separate from racism #which usually it kind of isn’t #like people treat it as a way to grade the severity of racism and dismiss anything at the lower end #ANYWAY japan travel season & new anime season is upon us i am begging everyone to be normal gfhkghjgjfhf #<edward said voice> orientalism is rather than expresses a desire to learn

#bb24 #And pooch #I see your sexist and racial microaggressions. #Derek x would never #Periodt #I see you Monte and your odd dislike for Taylor

Words have meanings and consequences. Learn them before you use them.

#and with that i take my leave! Gonna meal prep breakfast and meet my mom for dinner and play with my cats #Instead of arguing about a white man racially microaggressing a white woman :)

I was chatting with my 弟弟 from China who's been in NYC for less than a year, and manz was talking about how he's afraid of taking the subway. I was damn shook, because that means he's been walking to our gym and hasn't seen much of the city.

He explained that people would push him, and just walking on the street people would try to shove or fuck with him and make racist remarks.

I was just like, "说出难听话，这些事我早习惯了。”

His response was, “我知道我该习惯上，但是我不想。”

#cw racism #cw anti asian hate #i always stick up for myself and those around me so i don't mean this in a passive way #but every time you step out the door and go exploring the city you do run the risk of being racially harassed or attacked #and the tension is something i have to live with especially now #every time you choose a fight you accept the risk that comes with it #i think every time someone from asia comes west they can't stand even a little bit of microaggression #and then they can't believe that this is just how i live #it's just a reality check every time that this is not okay #tears falling like peridots

i have recently fully realized that white people just don't get what it's like to be racialized. like it's so crazy that they just don't get it and will Never understand

#like obviously i knew that before #but i just realized the extent? of it or whatever #like i thought i was so privileged and whitewashed and i am but at the end of the day im still a racialized woman #and i have experiences with facing racism and microaggressions so many microaggressions #and they will never have that #and don't even understand the ways in which they are so nonchalantly upholding the idea that racialized people are a joke #obviously im very lucky and privileged to be only fully understanding this now #but it sucks

we don't talk enough about what Rossi admitted to when he was trying to get Charles Johnson to confess in Strange Fruit.

#adi watches tv shows #criminal minds #s9.9 #strange fruit #david rossi #charles johnson #DEREK DESERVED TO BE MORE MAD #we deserved to see this unpacked more #peeing on someone? thats fucked up #im not saying rossi hasn't evolved god knows he's evolved #but we deserved to see that unpacked more #there's actually a lot that the show lets slide when it comes to characters havign a racist past im noticing that during this rewatch #derek has to put up with a lot of racial microaggressions from his coworkers its patently unfair

One of the dumbest things that's ever been said to me is that its not that big of a deal that I've personally faced more personal hate for being a vegetarian than for being black, queer, and trans, because I choose to be a vegetarian

And its like

What??

That doesn't make it better?

What's next, are you going to tell religious minorities that the horrific discrimination they face isn't as bad because they can, technically, choose to try to abandon all of their beliefs?

It's not like I'm a vegetarian for fun, it's a part of my personal morality AND spiritual belief system

And it IS a choice for me to be out as queer, I could totally go completely back into the closet and pretend to be cishet, but I would be miserable, which is what would happen if I chose to not be a vegetarian anymore. I could choose to mask and pretend to be neurotypical, but I would be miserable. The things people have said to me once they find out I'm a vegetarian aren't suddenly Okay because I could try to abandon my personal beliefs.

It's actually quite fucked up that I have to try to hide I'm a vegetarian irl for as long as possible from people because I don't know if someone I trust might try to trick me into eating meat (which yes, is something FRIENDS have threatened to do). It's fucked up that people have found out I'm a vegetarian and told me graphic stories about animal death to try to make me upset. It's fucked up that people have tried to falsely misrepresent science in order to try to upset me and try to get me to change my beliefs (no, plants aren't fucking sentient, you heard about plant-fungi communication networks and early research on electrical signals within plant bodies and completely misinterpreted what scientists are saying). What the fuck.

#i say personal hate bc obvs systemically im discriminated against more in theory for being black trans queer nd than for being a vegetarian #but most racial stuff ive personally faced has been accidentsl microaggressions from ppl genuinely not knowing any better #ive only had a few incidences of ppl being directly transphobic towards me #and ive never actually faced personal hate for my sexuality #uhh ive faced hate for being nd but not from strangers just my brother being a dick and making fun of me for being 'special' #also whats up with culturally christian athiests telling ppl that they can just give up their beleifs #i once on here had someone tell me i COULD change my spirituality bc there are ex-racists who changed their viewpoints #like.. dude... someone being racist is a lil different than someone believing in spirits asgdhfjfll

rural england is the worst place to live as a person of colour. it’s a blight upon the face of humanity and almost hilariously backward. that being said, at least back in [hometown redacted] people are upfront about their bigotry instead of trying to negate my very real lived experience of racism.

#like... again MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO THE CONCEPTS OF RACIAL INTEGRATION AND COLONIALISM IN THE AFRICAN CONTINENT #'''but are you sure that you're african?'''' #well in Year 8 two of my schoolmates threatened to lynch me so uh... yes????? the fuck???? #and that's to say nothing of daily microaggressions/physical racial violence #and the harrassment my siblings and i experienced in the leadup to the brexit vote #wouldn't you know it? living in Racism & Imperialism Island #as a racialised person #was a pretty solid confirmation of the fact i live a racialised existence!!!! #oy fucking vey #em.txt #HOW ARE GOING TO GASLIGHT ME AS IF I DONT HAVE A MIRROR A WORKING LONG TERM MEMORY AND A PASSPORT???????? #em is black #em is african #racism #racial violence ment #goodness gracious me.

i genuinely can’t stand my white family sometimes. my little cousin has been talking with a boy for awhile and she finally showed a picture of him to our family and he’s a dark skinned black boy. for some reason everyone had reactions to him, laughing and making jokes. saying they “just didn’t expect it” when we live in a world where interracial dating has been around and ‘normalized’ for years and for some reason your daughter liking a black boy is what makes you react. like, y’all have seen black people before. i am one of them. just bc y’all wouldn’t date a black person doesn’t mean that your kids can’t.

and of course. if the conversation comes up around me they’re gonna point out that my (coon of a black) brother was laughing too. he still lets his white friends make black jokes and he makes jokes about other races. he only likes white girls and has only white friends. he is not a good example. he is the token black friend/family member that people use to excuse the shit they say and do. and he is proud of that.
