poc isnāt an adjective - iām not a āpeople of colour bloggerā, iām a blogger of colour
donāt say poc if you mean a specific group of people. black lives matter isnāt about all poc. itās about black people
you donāt need to tell us about every instance of racism you see. if someoneās said something racist about us & we werenāt there, sure, we probably do want to know. but if itās along the lines of ācan you believe this person was racistā? yeah. we can. we donāt need you to remind us
if you have a friend of colour, please donāt expect them to give you the rundown on every racialised issue you see. iām black. that doesnāt mean iām automatically an expert on how the modern beauty industry is influenced by indiaās colonial history. i donāt speak for all poc - ask someone whoās affected by it
remember that talking about race is tiring. wanting to be more aware of it is great, but discussing exactly how white supremacy affects our lives is frankly depressing. please respect that we donāt always want to do that
if you ever say youāve āgot an [ethnicity] friendā so you canāt be racist to try and sidestep being genuinely called out for racism, iām stealing your friend. youāre tokenising & they deserve better
poc arenāt a monolith & individual ethnicities can trivialise the racism they donāt face. just because youāve heard a brown person say the n word or a black person be anti-asian doesnāt mean itās suddenly okay
talking about our relationship with whiteness ā āmaking everything about raceā & anyone who says that from now on owes me Ā£150
this is okay to reblog even (especially) if youāre white
