I’m starting to get calls setup for interviews but I’m torn between just sticking out where I currently am until world events say otherwise (which feels like soonish), or actually working on developing my career(which is honestly something I do to pass time and be marketable and the second I don’t need to pay rent anymore I’m leaving the industry).

I’ve reached the point where I’m more bored with white supremacy than angry at it. Saw two left-identifying white people online debating whether or not it’s classist not to let white working class people say the n-word because apparently black workers share more in common with white racists than other black people. Weird part is that this isn’t even the first or second time I’ve heard this argument.

Feels like my life ended and that I’m just watching reruns :/

God, white people just say the n word if you want to say it so bad stop making up these useless scenarios. Just be ready to accept whatever consequence you get, which will be deserved regardless of if it’s an ass beating or firing.

So boring

I’ve honestly never heard this, admittedly I’m not around that many white people but this sounds like such a weird debate. Like, just don’t fucking say it.

Is Vegas still intact? If they jossed my favorite entry in the chronology I can’t be acknowledging this series

The relationship with obsidian and interplay stuff is weird. Like its still there, but it’s different to facilitate what they wanted.
So like there are some lead farmers (guys who dig through rubble for ammo) wearing NCR rangers armor but the NCR itself is gone.
House is still a guy who ran Robco with a moustache and that’s basically what he is so far.
The big empty is still around but it’s run by a generic corporate dude.
The enclave is back again in force with soldiers and facilities and stuff but they don’t… do anything?
Vegas specifically is a tough one to answer. They haven’t explicitly written Vegas off and anything else might be a spoiler, maybe, it’s not clear.

So like. Assume new Vegas is canon except when it would result in anything but a post apocalyptic wasteland or it would advance the timeline from slightly before fallout 2

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?

  1. Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
