part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

Why do you find it annoying?

See my discussion with anon below. Also POC is a US only term and tumblr uses it for anyone who is a different skin color regardless of one's nationality.

Basically 9 times out of 10 people use the term wrong and use it as a go-to word to describe anyone who isn't white when we should be acknowledging people's individual ethnicities.

There are other issues with the term too esp revolving around the focus of skin tones over lineage/history (not all ethnicities have the same skin tones) but that's a whole argument I don't wanna put my feet into right now.

Lumping all non-whites into one category is so progressive

all non-white issues are exactly the same.
