Not White
posted June 21st, 2018 at 5:19 PM
Maybe they just ghosted me because they found out that I'm not fully white. I've had people before suddenly lose all respect for me, and looked at me as if I was beneath them the moment they found out that I'm biracial and not really one of them. That would suck if they were really like that.

To be respectful, you should use people-centric language. "White" is a racist term that isn't even factual, people who are white have light coloured skin, so the appropriate term is "people of light."
Let's remember that building an inclusive community means using respectful language. Thanks.

The term "white" offends me.
We're not all the same ethnicity or cultural background.
No one likes to be lumped together.

I'm waiting for people to not understand humour and sarcasm.

People call me white, and it doesn't offend me. After all, I look pretty white. What offends me is when they find out I'm not as white as they think I am, and suddenly I become half garbage to them, and some kind of leper to be avoided.
Yah so

That's an extreme reaction, made normal by the radical progressives. Its much, much more likely that they just don't care. Outside of your tiny worlds, people don't give a shit about that stuff. Also much more likely they read another radical comment from you and ran as fast as they could the other way!

I'm part of a minority group but I agree that "white" is not a good description of the wide variety of cultures that differentiates people. For example, a lot of Jews look ordinary "white" but I think we can agree that they're a recognizable ethnic group with its own history.

No, it sounds like the people of light aren't your slaves. People of light and people of colour need to work together, so that we can travel to the stars, like on Star Trek!
Or maybe ...,

....your skin colour has nothing to do with it and they ghosted you because you have such a giant chip on your shoulder. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!
