randomly remembered my first interaction with an American, was during the first Trump presidency, I was in some game's clan, I barely spoke English and didn't know much about the U.S., a person in the clan said they were American and I instantly replied with something in the idea of "Trump bootlicking evil doer living in inequaly" it was a whole rant but I think I talked about Iraq and how the rich waste money on coke in the same country people die homeless, I got kicked and I stopped playing that game.
Edit: my mom was talking to me and referred to MLK.Jr and Malcolm x as "those guys who did Jihad for Black people to have rights" because she forgot their names

Due to the nature of intersectionality, I feel as if discrimination against my blackness and my transness are already usually meshed together as one thing anyway. Sometimes, it just seems like one side of the two is emphasized far more than the other, but ultimately, to answer your question to the best of my ability: I'm generally far more comfortable hanging out with black cishet people than I am doing so with white trans/queer people.

Another thing against the generation shit: most of them are based on white western mostly anglo speakers of that generation, the definition of gen z fits mostly white middle class Americans, "the generation the grew up on phones" only in the west the rest of them in the third world didn't, even when being critical of things some will say "most of gen z lingo is stolen from AAL" as in white people taking slang from African Americans, when people say gen z they don't include black people born from 1995 to 2010. Boomers aren't inherently racist Trump supporters, Xoomers aren't inherently centrist edgelords, mellenials aren't inherently Harry potter avocado hillary clinton, these are white features not generational features.
22
Belly_Beanis [he/him] - 1.1yr
A lot of black Boomers straight-up took bullets for civil rights or shot klansman and cops. It's often overlooked in generational discourse.
Something that really hit home for me listening to Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City was that I'm around the same age as Kendrick Lamar and yet his experiences of the '90s were awful. I've known about the Rodney King riots because I was alive at the time, but GKmC put it into perspective there were people whose childhoods were affected by those same riots. Columbine was a shock, as well as the Oklahoma City Bombing, but it doesn't compare living in a place at the height of the Blood-Crips feud.
My point is how it's utterly bizarre generations get lumped together while ignoring other factors. Kids who grew up in Compton in the '80s and '90s have more in common with kids who grew up in New York during the 1920s and '30s than they do with kids the same age who grew up in suburbs. Lumping generations together like this seems bad for even capitalists. They're leaving money on the table when they market products towards a generation without considering how different experiences can be within that generation.

Just remember for those blaming minorities and gen z: both demographics came out in big numbers to the blm protests and vote against Trump. The numbers show that Trump didn’t really win any new converts. Majority just stayed home and the only demographics to vote for Trump as a majority were white men/women.
You can bet which one is going to have articles giving them a lot more sympathy.
22
Angel [any] - 1.1yr
I literally saw a post that showed Trump voter stats for race and gender, but they were completely separate, and white people and men as groups were roughly the same percentage, but this liberal white woman commented on the post, "Wow, men are not okay" or something to that effect. This is just reinforcing the theory that many Western white feminists do not care about ending oppression; they just want patriarchy to stop inconveniencing them personally. They'll side with white supremacy if given the chance.
This is why I often have a lot of hard time trusting mainstream feminists or even get wary when I see any "anti-male" stuff. On the surface, to a non-intersectional, close-minded cracKKKer who has never thought critically about feminism in their life, complaining about men collectively just comes off as women innocuously exercising their very much justified frustration with patriarchy, which isn't false in many cases. However, such rhetoric has harmed men of color in particular, and trans people do get negatively impacted by the bioessentialist implications that sometimes are hidden within these kinds of complaints.
Most Hexbears not being aware of the fact that this sentiment has been used in racist ways isn't a shock to me because Hexbear absolutely can be mayo as fuck, but with how many trans users we have, I'm surprised at how many people on this site act like this kind of rhetoric is never used to hurt trans people. And by that, I mean, no, it doesn't only hurt trans people in the case of mask-off Rowlingesque TERF rhetoric; mainstream liberal feminism is plagued with this shit too. I think I just found it easier to notice because, as a transfem of color, the reactionary stick of imperial feminists beats me twice as hard.

The global south experience: the "civilized" world subjugates and enslaves you and steals natural resources from you for hundreds of years, after independence fought or not your nation is still going to get screwed over by neo-colonialism or western sponsored fascist coups or sanctions, all the resources used by the north were used to make funko pops that cost your pay to produce and your life to buy, also those funko pops are made so inefficiently that they destroy the Earth, with the earth getting less liveable your nation is unable to do anything to stop it because it didn't have the time to develop, a lot of the times people can't even afford AC units, and if you try to go a global north country legally you'll get denied, and you'll get shot if you do it illegally.

Yeah no fuck that. It's our job in the US to have solidarity with the global south, not the other way around. Plenty of minorities get by without taking part in white supremacy. Signing up for the military is an active choice a person makes. It's a conscious choice to kill people you don't know for your own personal gain.

I hate this country. If it not with the blame it's other ones like I saw some takes where some are like "enjoy deportation" and like what the fuck. I would like to see those shitheads go tell that to me or my dad or grandma.

At least they know that this is awful. Because in the end, thats the important thing.
Maybe racism is more about the friends which you make along the way
White liberals are mad because their candidate who campaigned on offering nothing lost. Good riddance and fuck all of the liberals who are going to be doing this shit for 4 years

Another thing against the generation shit: most of them are based on white western mostly anglo speakers of that generation, the definition of gen z fits mostly white middle class Americans, "the generation the grew up on phones" only in the west the rest of them in the third world didn't, even when being critical of things some will say "most of gen z lingo is stolen from AAL" as in white people taking slang from African Americans, when people say gen z they don't include black people born from 1995 to 2010. Boomers aren't inherently racist Trump supporters, Xoomers aren't inherently centrist edgelords, mellenials aren't inherently Harry potter avocado hillary clinton, these are white features not generational features.
A lot of black Boomers straight-up took bullets for civil rights or shot klansman and cops. It's often overlooked in generational discourse.
Something that really hit home for me listening to Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City was that I'm around the same age as Kendrick Lamar and yet his experiences of the '90s were awful. I've known about the Rodney King riots because I was alive at the time, but GKmC put it into perspective there were people whose childhoods were affected by those same riots. Columbine was a shock, as well as the Oklahoma City Bombing, but it doesn't compare living in a place at the height of the Blood-Crips feud.
My point is how it's utterly bizarre generations get lumped together while ignoring other factors. Kids who grew up in Compton in the '80s and '90s have more in common with kids who grew up in New York during the 1920s and '30s than they do with kids the same age who grew up in suburbs. Lumping generations together like this seems bad for even capitalists. They're leaving money on the table when they market products towards a generation without considering how different experiences can be within that generation.
this is what me think of this.
Too bad, because who's got the media infrastructure and English language to dominate the Anglophone conversation, the
Pretty much. I’ve heard younger Indians and Saudis refer to their older generations as “boomers.” Even Russian liberals call the generation nostalgic for the USSR “boomers.”
Just remember for those blaming minorities and gen z: both demographics came out in big numbers to the blm protests and vote against Trump. The numbers show that Trump didn’t really win any new converts. Majority just stayed home and the only demographics to vote for Trump as a majority were white men/women.
You can bet which one is going to have articles giving them a lot more sympathy.
I literally saw a post that showed Trump voter stats for race and gender, but they were completely separate, and white people and men as groups were roughly the same percentage, but this liberal white woman commented on the post, "Wow, men are not okay" or something to that effect. This is just reinforcing the theory that many Western white feminists do not care about ending oppression; they just want patriarchy to stop inconveniencing them personally. They'll side with white supremacy if given the chance.
And, of course, there's this. This is not a first-time thing for me.
This is why I often have a lot of hard time trusting mainstream feminists or even get wary when I see any "anti-male" stuff. On the surface, to a non-intersectional, close-minded cracKKKer who has never thought critically about feminism in their life, complaining about men collectively just comes off as women innocuously exercising their very much justified frustration with patriarchy, which isn't false in many cases. However, such rhetoric has harmed men of color in particular, and trans people do get negatively impacted by the bioessentialist implications that sometimes are hidden within these kinds of complaints.
Most Hexbears not being aware of the fact that this sentiment has been used in racist ways isn't a shock to me because Hexbear absolutely can be mayo as fuck, but with how many trans users we have, I'm surprised at how many people on this site act like this kind of rhetoric is never used to hurt trans people. And by that, I mean, no, it doesn't only hurt trans people in the case of mask-off Rowlingesque TERF rhetoric; mainstream liberal feminism is plagued with this shit too. I think I just found it easier to notice because, as a transfem of color, the reactionary stick of imperial feminists beats me twice as hard.
It does seem very convenient to now have a "valid" reason to see me as dangerous rather than just because I'm brown
Ain't that some shit
I still love my people but they have lost their damn minds after Tuesday. Saying no one is there for us so they won't be there for anybody else. I asked them, what have you done for people ? Crickets. Nevermind we had fantastic protest turnout in 2020 nevermind there is a literal genocide happening to another group that I know they're ignoring. Anyway, we're not free unless we're all free
Today I drove a 60 foot bendy bus through a really narrow neighborhood. Holy mackerel. Somehow I didn't hit anything or anyone!
Bendy bus driving
Ain't gonna lie, after seeing all that crap blaming minorities for Trump being elected, I want every crakkker, lib or chud, to bow down to EVERY minority in this fucking universe before we chuck em in the pit when revolution comes. And when I say bow, I mean forehead touching the floor, kissing the feet of everyone they blamed, and then some. They've been smug and arrogant about shit they know nothing about for waaay too long and it's about time somebody put them in their place.
They're gonna be bowing for hours like that concentration camp guard being forced to play the piano before
The global south experience: the "civilized" world subjugates and enslaves you and steals natural resources from you for hundreds of years, after independence fought or not your nation is still going to get screwed over by neo-colonialism or western sponsored fascist coups or sanctions, all the resources used by the north were used to make funko pops that cost your pay to produce and your life to buy, also those funko pops are made so inefficiently that they destroy the Earth, with the earth getting less liveable your nation is unable to do anything to stop it because it didn't have the time to develop, a lot of the times people can't even afford AC units, and if you try to go a global north country legally you'll get denied, and you'll get shot if you do it illegally.
Anyhow I got a miswak last week, lowkey didn't know they were this good damn.
On a personal level part of the global south experience for me has been being told by USAmericans that I must have solidarity with the people who supported and were part of the invasion of my country because they are also oppressed minorities
Yeah no fuck that. It's our job in the US to have solidarity with the global south, not the other way around. Plenty of minorities get by without taking part in white supremacy. Signing up for the military is an active choice a person makes. It's a conscious choice to kill people you don't know for your own personal gain.
Like there are hitmen in the US with a higher code of ethics.
"Why can't you Vietnamese act in solidarity with these U.S-backed Hmong mercenaries?"
Real "what have Palestinians done for us (African Americans)" energy.
Like bitch why do they have to?
And said nations are the main cause of the planet getting destroyed. And we're the ones that get hit first. Oh and these guys get to define who are humanised and not. Yes the people responsible for the greatest genocides in human history and the greatest ones to come along with the annihilation of most life on earth get to define who is to be dehumanised. Humanity is a massive joke
Yep not good... all I wish for Christmas is a multipolar world to reverse that
Huh...
I simply didn't know how much I needed it, because I can't stay in one place and I don't like the feeling of toothpaste in my mouth, but I can walk around while using a miswak, I can even use it in bed before I sleep
Miswak is fun, my mom brings them with her when she returns from overseas.
Soak them in water, chew em, and brush.
Well they already normalise killing brown people abroad. May as well normalize kkk outfits. There's barely any black people in canada and they're going absolutely stupid over indian immigrants there.

KKKlanada, as of de rigeur...
Instead of New Afrikans and East-Asians, they have mainly refined hate against South-Asians, and Indigenous Peoples...

First, UlyssesT, now sneak100... Ah crud..
okay okay okay my last rant, I remember sometime when I was a kid, idk how old I was, but I remember seeing a post talking about the myth of camel spiders in Iraqi and how Americans used it to gain sympathy for their soldiers, and the first thing I thought of was "Iraqis and by extension we aren't humans to these people", they show this hoax of a big ass spider that apparently eats people or something in Iraq and they used it to say "oooh our poor wittle twoops" instead of having sympathy towards the Iraqi people for dealing with them, or idk better yet THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS MURDERINGremoved AND TORTURING THEM.
no, keep ranting, NOW!
no rant, only love, everyday I grow more love and appreciation towards y'all that I didn't know was possible, like I don't know how but it keeps happening, love y'all moah moah

While not perfect I do love the addition of latin american spanish vs spain spanish in shows and stuff. Having to hear spain spanish is
that being said I do get lost if it's not specifically spanish from mexico. Tried to watch some films from argentina/columbia and I got to really pay attention
Oh yea some accents are kinda hard to follow sometimes, good luck when you want to watch chilean shows
What dost thou mean?
Chileans have one of the strangest and harder to understand accent of spanish speakers, some people call it a dialect (mostly as a joke), if it wasnt for my parents i probably would understand it very much
Like what troubles ye in their accent and pronounciation exactly, compared to a Puerto Rican or a Peninsulare Espanyophone?
they speak fast, its has distinctive pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and slang usages, its because it developed kinda isolated from the other spanish dialects because of the andes
ooooohh!!! got any fav Spanish films?
Cantinflas films are pretty good though I might be bias though nostalgia since I've watched them with my parents growing up. IF you want B horror slop Santos movies are good too. I know you asked for fav but gonna include these as mini genres since they are kind of carried by their main actor.
valid, ill check them out! thanks
I went to the DR thinking I could continue practicing what I call Spanish only to learn that I actually speak very basic Mexican
There are a bunch of old black and white movies on yt if you ever interested in seeing the different spanish various latin american countries talk like. Still I feel you, while back talked to one of my sister's friends from columbia and I could barely keep up with him.
Just saw the phrase "no n word November"
I think we're in actual hell
Are the
s okay?
The implication that they're only doing it for the month...
Perhaps they'd like No noggin November better
white people somehow shifting the conversation to "you should go to the gym"
the weather? what music I listen to? how my day was?? what my hobbies are??? nah lemme tell this guy to go to the gym
idea: EM POC's get a government sanctioned death note (reeducation note if i'm feeling nice) to use on racists
Small win against the evil dmv, helped my sibling finally pass their driver's license test. Growing up we'd always see our older sister and mom fail it with how much harder it is in spanish so it kind of wore rest of family down but one by one we are starting to pass. I got mine first this year then helped my sister then nephew now sibling and hopefully I'll be able to help my mom next.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!
I've been mistaken for somoan, sihk when I had a beard and now more and more as indigenous people asking me if I'm from so and so rez. Don't know why most people don't id me as mexican, no one's ever been mean or anything just curious once I tell them my legal name and start speaking spanish they go ah
I'm mixed British and Filipino so I'm kind if ambiguous-looking. I've had people ask if I'm Latino, Inuit, Hawaiin, Japanese, Italian, and black...like everything except Filipino lol
You beat me there lol, I think a lot of it might just be like a roshach test where people see what they wanna see. Part of me wants to fuck around with different dialects just to mess with people but that requires listening to myself and that's
no beuno
I got mistaken once for a circus clown
If you were in America, I think ppl would pinpoint ye as Filipino
British people doesn't prolly know much about Filipinos, do they?
I live in the US but my European ancestry is all from Britain just coincidentally. I don't want to be too specific because I would dox myself lol
Well, then either the
are dumb or you just might not look the part (you do know how Filipinos usually look like, right)
Funny, you know, one of my younger siblings, I'll tell ye hwat, looks more South-Asian than Filipina, to the point some marketing agency wanted her to participate in an advertisement, because of her ethnic ambiguity
sometimes people think my cuban partner is arab for some reason.
