"embrace Ur Differences, Stop Saying Ur Different In The Way That U R And Embracing It" Also Legit Unironically

"embrace ur differences, stop saying ur different in the way that u r and embracing it" also legit unironically saying that ppl should stop talking abt skin colour??

once again mixed ppl exist outside of the US

[there were more comments but it's a vid that got a lot of attention and i cba 2 go thru all the comments on it rn]

[title 4 context but yeh im not watching this vid it's obvs what it is]

[mainly put this video title in here 4 another video title i was going 2 put in 4 context but found these comments]

4 context all the woman w/ the braids did was point out in her own words that "white passing privilege" is just as much bs as "straight passing privilege" is at least in what i watched of this video b4 having 2 stop watching, there were also a bunch more comments trash talking her for speaking up abt it, didn't put those in bc i reached the image limit

we're not white either tho and none of us r "pretending 2 b black" we're just trying 2 acknowledge and embrace that part of ourselves instead of just allowing ourselves 2 b constantly pushed into the same box as our oppressors

fuck this im having a bad day bc of ppl being weird abt me being mixed w/ black and mixed w/ white so im just making this a masterpost of all the kinda bs i deal w/ bc so many ppl don't seem 2 believe me when i say me and others like me go thru this shit, gonna reblog this w/ any new shit i find

apparently they r comparing us 2 coffee now

weird race fetish bs

weird eugenics bs

in case u thought it was only 4 coffee cups

this is also a problem with the system pride flag being stolen and then used as the "super straight" flag

Yaknow how this week is aromantic awareness week and as the name states, is to spread awareness about aromanticism? I have been wearing the aro flag frequently wherever I go, and also have been keeping a small version of the flag on my bag to celebrate! However, I am extremely agitated over just how little is truly known about aromantic people.

The intention of having the flag around was to spread representation of arospec people and to educate others on our identity! And I am very pissed off to know more people recognize the aromantic flag not as what it truly is, but instead this:

Today someone had called my flag a “dreamsexual flag” and i have never felt more offended.

They took our flag. I don’t want to have to constantly worry that people see my flag and think I support a bigot. There is more recognition of this flag as a “dream flag” than what it actually stands for. This is why more people should be educated about aros. We are already doing what we can to fight amatonormativity and I have never been more furious to have my identity belittled to a “dreamsexual flag.” That is not what aromanticism stands for, and it never ever will stand for that.

So please educate yourself! When you see that flag please know what it genuinely means. It stands for a beautiful community of people who experience little to no romantic attraction. It does not stand for a community of uneducated people stealing flags and supporting bigots. Thank you, and happy aromantic awareness week.

ppl rly do like 2 say that every disabled character in a queer relationship is child coded huh?

just this whole fucking video's existence reeks of eugenics and i refuse 2 watch it, luckily most of the comments i can c seem 2 b calling this video out

this is 1 of the top blogs in the "mixed race" tag on tumblr

again w/ the weird eugenics youtube vids [edit bc i realised something wasn't super clear; from what i remember w/ the "reacting 2 'mixed race wh!te passing women are not our allies'" vid it was a i think monoracial black woman [again my memory could b fuzzy but i am *not* subjecting myself 2 that video again] and she got her 2 mixed women friends 2 react 2 this video w/ her that was talking ab how they aren't allies 2 the wider poc community and don't belong in it "the girl w/ the braids" that every1 keeps referencing in the comments was literally just pointing out the problems in the video and the woman making the video and the ppl in the comments got mad at her 4 not agreeing w/ this video that was talking abt how she doesn't belong]

idk much abt what what context this was supposed 2 b in when this person who originally said this said it but this is all the context i got 4 this tumblr post so it's going on here, let's make this clear; colourism is a problem and should b talked abt and we should try 2 get rid of colourism and some light-skinned and ""white passing"" members of the community can experience erasure and oppression both from outside and within the community r 2 ideas that can and should exist 2gether, just like how it's not ok 2 talk over or try 2 silence the voices of ppl w/ darker skin when they talk abt colourism it's also not ok 2 talk over or silence the voices of light-skinned and ""white passing"" ppl when we tell u abt our struggles like the constant erasure that we face from all sides [will add more when i find more]

[mixed ppl feel free 2 add ur own experiences/things u've seen no matter what ur mixed w/ as long as ur not trying 2 act like ppl mixed w/ white r the same as white ppl]

[monoracial ppl don't clown this post this is a post 2 raise awareness of the racism that mixed ppl experience]

fuck this im having a bad day bc of ppl being weird abt me being mixed w/ black and mixed w/ white so im just making this a masterpost of all the kinda bs i deal w/ bc so many ppl don't seem 2 believe me when i say me and others like me go thru this shit, gonna reblog this w/ any new shit i find

weird race fetish bs

weird eugenics bs

Friendly reminder that "colorism is a real issue and we need to adress it, so we can erase it" and "there are unique problems and prejudices that mixed people go through, sometimes from 'all sides' and those need to be adressed" are NOT mutually exclusive.

hey so i couldn't help but notice that while this post is good a lot of the replies r shit

there's a lot of ppl pointing out that "in txt magneto wanted 2 do a genocide against all non mutants" and while yes that is true there's more 2 it than that

the ppl who r saying magneto was right r not saying "genocide is super cool" what they r saying is "we shouldn't hav 2 play nice w/ the ppl who oppress us"

it's no mistake or coincidence imo that x-men is a series marketed 2wards ppl in minority groups and the representation of ppl who don't want 2 play nice w/ the oppressors is magneto, it's p obvious [at least from what little i've seen] that x-men is essentially just propaganda 2 try 2 demonise ppl who would rise up against their oppressors instead of asking them nicely if we can hav equal rights yet, not saying u can't enjoy x-men btw just wish that more ppl would watch media w/ their brains switched on instead of just ignoring all cultural context and then getting mad when ppl don't ignore said cultural context

it's like, disney villains were made queer coded 2 demonise queer ppl, and a lot of queer ppl reclaim those villains now bc of this, and no1 is saying that if a queer person reclaims a queer villain that that somehow now means that they agree w/ their actions in txt bc we r aware of the cultural context and keep that in mind

magneto was a character that was made 2 demonise ppl who's activism isn't oppressor friendly, i can't speak 4 what it was originally but at least what little i've seen it seems like it was written by the majority and marketed 2 minority groups 2 try 2 stop us from getting any ideas abt rising up against our oppressors

it's weird 2 me how ppl in the replies r saying that ppl who r saying magneto was right "don't hav any critical thinking skills" bc it just shows that they r just taking everything in x-men at face value w/out applying any thought abt cultural context and y the only guy who's anti oppressor is shown 2 b evil, like do u guys actually think that there's ever going 2 b a character in mainstream media who's in a minority group who's not willing 2 play nice w/ the oppressors who's ever going 2 b shown in a good or even honest light?? and i mean in a real way not in a "well it was just that we needed a different person in power" or "well it was just this individual that was bad not the system" kind of way

[sry if this is incoherent im typing this while sleep deprived]
