POC PEOPLE. What are some micro aggressions have you experienced when dating today?

I had an ex who thought it was ok to call me a “ch*nk n word” I broke up with them right after

[Manny4444]

Same. I had an ex that would tell me ”there is my people“ whenever someone black, Indian, or anyone dark looking that we would walk by. I told her to stop and she would laugh for off. Probably thought she could get away with since she was with me. Also told me to giver her that Honduran lovin when we would make out. She was a white female who was liberal. I am a Indegenious Latino man.

That’s why I distrust liberals so much especially yt ones, they never fully grasp a lot of concepts and are too hell bent on being moderate than being correct or even grasping critical analysis. Their “Allie” status to the bipoc community is interchangeable just like their political stances

[Manny4444]

That’s awful. People can't wait to disrespect a POC sometimes. It was so annoying. Like just because we were dating doesn’t mean you can do that. But because she’s not hateful like her family who were in the kkk she could get away with it. It was my first experience with a liberal micro aggression it surprised me. What was their response when you called them out on it. Also, sometimes the allies hide their racism pretty well whether consciously or unconsciously.

True

Also omgg what her family was in the kkk 😭 that should’ve been a major red flag and you should’ve ran

[Manny4444]

yeah, the first time she did i thought she would just get it out of her system but as the relationship went on she would keep doing it. I brushed it of as edgy humor but now i know better. Also, i thought it would be a flex because we were fighting racism by being together but now i feel as if there was some fetishes that came into play. I found her tik tok and she still does to her Chinese husband calling him her panda bear. Also she was my first girlfriend so i thought it was normal.

Well, as a person of color I believe that anyone who believes in this microaggression crap and victim mindset is ridiculous and needs to stop drinking the bullshit koolaid.

Take your power back and don't let toxic ideology that encourages victim mindsets to run your life. People won't like you and that is fine. Suck it the fuck up and be around people who like you and want you around for who you are.

[Manny4444]

I mostly do ignore any racist energy or comments from fandoms. It’s more from people who you date or family or friends that seem like they would have those thoughts or opinions but they surprise you. It not that easy as not hanging out with them.

People of color people? a bit redundant isn't it?

[Manny4444]

Yeah I guess haha
