- shadowyroses: Unacceptable responses when racism is pointed out. :: Telling me to stop complaining about Hollywood because I can't affect anything, telling me that all the people blogging against racism/for IBARW are just a "circle jerk" of people ranting about how they hate white people, telling me it's just economics, these are not acceptable responses to my anger.
(tags: by.multiracial.people by.nonwhite.people by.poc english.language ethnicity ibarw ibarw4 identity latina/latino passing south.american asian avatar media movies racism) - meopta: You Are Only As Sick As Your Secrets :: Here's the thing. What drives me the most crazy about IBARW is not people patting themselves on the back while accidentally exposing the internalized 'truths' they don't realize they have, it's what happens after it is pointed out to them that they have them.
(tags: about.ibarw by.white.people ibarw4 white.privilege) - Intersectionality | The Angry Black Woman :: Recently I had a big intersectionality fail which set the gears in my head turning. The more I contemplate it, the more I feel as though I want to center my activism around this concept. Well, moreso than I am doing at present.

deepad: naam mein kya rakha hai? kaam ke baare mein poocho :: The choice to say "That's a nice braid", and to repeat that sentence structure a second time, carries the weight of a long history of objectification and entitlement behind it.

bossymarmalade: the great (forever) white north :: They just wanted to compliment me on my good English, and ask me to explain what the Indian foods on the menu are, and inform me that their niece married an Indian guy and they treat him just like everyone else because that's what makes Canada great.

(tags: appropriation avatar by.nonwhite.people by.poc english.language ibarw indian meta race ibarw4) - sarka: Your Context Means Nothing To Me; AKA This Is Not The Debate I Was Taught To Have. :: Oh, holy Christ.

Some were apparently blogging *for* racism. And then there's the posts that got it right, but the comments were filled with textbook fail.
(tags: ibarw ibarw4 about.ibarw racism by.poc united.states english.language links) - tielan: what you don't notice :: One of the weeds that I've been tugging out by the handful is tradescantia albiflora.

Because it’s about us and nobody else. That’s pretty obvious but every so often the disingenuous argument is made that creating minority spaces which exclude non-members of that group is racist/sexist/technoist/etc.

People who have some real anger about political correctness, and free speech, and have used that to justify racist jokes and racist language.

But unfortunately, she and the third important woman, the black Mrs. Frederick, are both Magical Negroes
