Which Is Racist Af - Tumblr Posts
Why I don't use "POC" to refer to someone who isn't white.
It lumps thousands of cultures, races, heritage and history under one fucking label.
do you know how diverse black culture is? It can differ dramatically country to country, state to state, and even city to city. Hell in London alone, there are vast groups of people with African origin. Who identify with so many different cultures. To name two, Somali British and British Caribbean differ so much in their cultural practice. It’s just plain offensive to group them under the same label.
Don’t get me started on Latin American.. walk from Mexico to Argentina and tell me they don’t deserve individual recognition..
Aboriginal Australians?
Hell I’ll even get started on white culture..
Yeah it’s diluted in the states because your history is only hundreds of years old.
But fucking hell as a Celtic British person with vast heritage which expands into such a beautiful culture of tribalism and brotherhood. Stunning music, and historical Significance, I am deeply offended myself when I am grouped under this guise that there is no such thing as white culture..
I went to download festival in June. We met so many different people from different backgrounds. I was at one point. A Cornishman, Sat around a fire with a Scot, a Nord, And an Icelandic fellow. And the Icelandic fella sung us a traditional lullaby from his heritage. And it was moving.
So fuck off with your master labels and macro approach to ethnicity.
Pick up a book, go meet people, travel. Because sitting at home making judgements about other people’s cultures, is no less racist. Just because you call yourself a “POC”.
Your form of social justice does no justice to anyone.
