Help me move out of my parents' house
I am planning to move out in three months, but funds might be a bit tight while I find a job after moving out. I would really appreciate some help to cover moving expenses and rent for the first few months. It's not urgent but it would be deeply appreciated.

Why is she not grilling this anon? "Most Mexicans are brown" is racist because it ignores the diversity of people in Mexico and associates a skin color with a nationality but "Most Japanese are pale" isn't racist and isn't doing any of that? How is this in any way consistent behavior?
Ok well first I will congratulate you for listening to instructions. Good girl!
Now, onto the matter at hand. Well i think most japanese people who draw anime girls don't say "this is my japanese character and she is japanese because she is pale" and if they did then that'd be undeniably racist. Most mexicans are brown and most Japanese are pale are both more or less true but i think changing a character's skin color (and sometimes hair color) and saying that changes their nationality is racist.
See i respond to all anons normally but i told you to stop calling sylvia a bitch so I won't respond to your anons until you listen like a good girl
as per that bitch's own blog she's affirmed it's value neutral for Japanese artists to draw light skinned characters because Japanese people are on average lighter skinned (ironic given how this erases and ignores the existence of dark skinned Japanese people and would imply they aren't sufficiently Japanese because of it) but you lot are getting pressed because a dark skinned latina (a demographic that is predominantly brown skinned) called her edits latina edits because that's erasing/ignoring light skinned latinos lol. Make it make sense if it's value neutral for one it's value neutral for the other.
You know most of these i get excited to write a fun response but this one just kinda sucks it's too stupid and boring I don't even feel like writing anything except don't call Sylvia a bitch okay nevermind i will give you a little response.
The problem has nothing to do with skin color edits it is the talking about the mexican race lmao
genuinely curious i think i missed it but how is sailatina racist?
I think the most telling is that she thinks mexican is a race
I will answer your ask my good anon I've just been tired after all this and haven't had the energy to formulate a proper serious response but i love you my good anon
in the least surprising development ever, white persons main reason for harassing a brown woman is for fun
Oh finally someone called me white
At 9 a.m., inside a container-based hydroponic plant factory built with Chinese assistance in the Pacific island nation of Nauru, workers sk
Like, obviously the hydroponic project here is like a game changer and naturally gets a lot of space because like, as they say this is the only business in nauru that produces vegitables, like at all. But im also really intrigued by the solar street lights, what a cheap and easer thing to donate that like logically makes a big impact on peoples lives
it is such a pathetic thing to follow a blog grow a fucking spine already
You know i think I underestimate how many people lurk around my posts actually i mean maybe no one is reading them but i saw one of Sylvia's posts with 2 notes and yet the silly op is white had 18 likes which definitely indicates a lot of people hate watching and i hope there's at least a couple hate watching me that feels nice blushes
no one wants to engage with you because you are a) very obviously clawing at the walls for attention and b) weakly reconstructing the issue in general. it's bad faith at best, debatably an issue of intelligence, and a waste of time after all. keep begging though and enjoy this crumb.
Is this not a form of engaging? Thank you jejeje i do actually want attention I will be transparent about it. Now I will also be transparent about why I want the attention because I feel generous:
1. It's fun. It's simply fun.
2. I have actually found it quite useful to argue so confrontatively against people as a way to structure and develop my thoughts. It's also good motivation to do research jajaja it's quite useful
3. I want people to think about these things, obv my reach is quite small but wagever. It is not my intention to immediately make people agree with me but simply by bringing these things up directly people will engage with these thoughts which may end up being useful.
Anywags there is a secret fourth reason but I won't say it.
literally not my place to get mad having had recieved 0 repercussions whatsoever but at what point are two open rude asks and a reblog from a blog with less than 100 followers "a harrassment campaign" and multiple posts singling out my wife's name and continually accusing her of everything from "a hysteric breakdown" to a "white supremacist" to an "improper marxist" spread and spread through bigger and bigger blogs just doing "community service" and "giving her what she deserves" like come on.
As a mixed kid whose family is from an obscure culture, you learn pretty quick that the way people racialize you has very little to do with your blood or heritage, and mostly has to do with whatever the individual racist arbitrarily calculates in their head about you based on present context and their personal brand of racism. I've faced racism correlated with asian immigrants, I've faced racism correlated with latin american immigrants, but I am not either of those things, and neither are my family members. My race does not explain my racialization, because race/ethnicity is not something real that people can detect, and thus cannot serve as the material justification for racism. It's an ideology, enforced by the proclivities of the (widespread! violent! powerful!) idealogues, who seek phenotypic (bodily or cultural) divisions between "foreign" and local; between slave, proletarian, and owner; this is why the Welsh, peasant workers, were once racialized in England; the Irish and the Italians, immigrant labor in the USA. They are historical hangovers from bygone power structures, or fetishization (the act of weighing something beyond its material existence) of extant ones, and they are readily created and dissolved given a change in economics, and the subsequent change in politics. Immigrants and historical underclasses, are, after all, no different from their neighbors without a law to back it; Redlining, wage discrimination, and police violence are not so impossible to resolve under progressive rule. While engaging in the language of racists can be useful in some circumstances to describe aspects of contextual racialization, while the language and the customs you grew up with may be important to you, the terms of racism are inherently distorted. You cannot treat them as synonymous with reality, you cannot treat them as materially sound, mostly because they are wrong, but also because regardless of whether you support the racialized, buying into the existence of race as something which exists beyond the actions of its (again, systemically common! politically powerful! regulation-penning and rule-enforcing!) idealogues is, all the same, a form of racism; the ideology (ism) of race. Your race is not real beyond the judgement of a racist; the racialization they enforce upon you is.
I am Chamorro in the same way my friend is Cajun. I am often racialized, she is largely not. I have brown eyes, she has blue ones. We both live in the mainland USA. By sheer weight of relative common ground, you could almost say that that is the only one which matters. I would only cede anything to number two.
If I may put on my condescending Marxist hat, the skill to choose which issues actually matter enough to fight about, and the skill to discuss your disagreements with ordinary people without insulting them are both more important and valuable skills then having the right position on racial identity or whatever lol. Without them you will never go far
I think you're assuming there is something going on here that there simply isn't.
Presuppositions:
1. There is a racist girl on my dashboard
2. I don't want to block her (for whatever reason)
3. I want her out of my dashboard
Now there are two ways to resolve this either she stops being racist or she blocks me.
Proposed solution: Confront her about her racism abrasively.
I suppose you can disagree about sailatina being racist but a scarce amount of discussion has gone toward that and a large amount has gone toward being mad someone is being mean.
It's interesting to me that people just say Sylvia's problem was the dark-skinned anime girl edits?? When did she say that??
Why are tumblr users obsessed with proving what good communists they are by posting?
Is communism the practice of saying smart things on the internet?
I'm sorry that someone was mean to you for being racist instead of giving you a serious principled dialectical lecture on why you're racist
