Remember, EM POC only!

I finally got my internet back. It took them fucking long enough. I guess this means that I’m finally away from all of the outages that Milton gave me.

I’m still overall pissed off about… everything else that made this hurricane suck, but I’ll try to do positive vibes right now.

That aside, good day to all of my EM POC comrades!

    hot take: individual acts of racism are morally wrong and should never be excused.

    second hot take: REFUSING to use the colloquial version of a word when YOU KNOW what the other person is talking about and refusing to explain what you mean is the most annoying fucking Reddit ass behavior.

        here’s the thing, their “correction” in that example is wrong.
        Article 1 of ILO Convention No. 169 contains a statement of coverage rather than a definition, indicating that the Convention applies to: “a) tribal peoples in independent countries whose social, cultural and economic conditions distinguish them from other sections of the national community and whose status is regulated wholly or partially by their own customs or traditions or by special laws or regulations; “b) peoples in independent countries who are regarded as indigenous on account of their descent from the populations which inhabited the country, or a geographical region to which the country belongs, at the time of conquest or colonization or the establishment of present state boundaries and who irrespective of their legal status, retain some or all of their own social, economic, cultural and political institutions.”

          Absolutely, this “scholar” was committing an equivocation fallacy by taking a comment that refers to Indigenous people in a sociopolitical sense and responding in a way that uses the term in a more generic, often biological sense, e.g., “Pandas are indigenous to China.”

        Maybe unrelated but this is how I feel about the word ‘removedy’. Someone found it used to be a racialized term and others caught on that they should modify their language. Except colloquially, this term is more attributed to horror and lost the original dictionary definition(if there was one). Meanwhile, I bet these people have no problem calling something ghetto, a term more modernly racialized.
