Ethnicities Community

A Brief Lesson in Cartography...

To the women (especially Western) stating they are “seeking an Asian partner” or “interested in Asian culture” when they almost exclusively mean someone from Japan, South Korea, or China: please just say East Asia. Asia is a vast continent comprising nearly 50 nations with radically distinct… (edited) read more

Hot take: I hate being seen as a poc

Because that implies that white is a standard and that all poc are somehow equal when we know that's not the case. To me, Black still sits at the bottom of the totem pole everywhere across the globe. Asians sit right beneath white (when it's convenient for white people as a way to alienate other… read more

Advice...?

After having lost some weight, I just went clean shaven for the first time in years—my first 2 steps in aligning with my gender identity/expression more—but... I kinda *really* hate how it looks, especially in profile, with my recessed chin shown in the last photo that ages me like 15 years 😭 I… read more

If you are a taxi driver or just drive for extra cash then having this name in a post Soviet country could make your passenger laugh.

Mukhtar for me as a mixed Baltic with Slavic ethnicities bilingual person equals a German shepherd police dog from a Russian TV series. Anyone who knows a little bit of Russian always get a smile on their face after hearing name Mukhtar.

I have a genuine question. Hypothetically if you and another person were two different ethnicities and/or come from two different cultures but the other person really likes you. But the other person actually doesn't like most food from your culture simply for flavor or texture reasons. Would you be… (edited) read more

Am I a person of colour (POC)? (This is a rhetoric question) There are many terms out there, I don’t consider myself “white passing”, but as someone w/ mixed ethnicities I don’t think I experience the full extent of the marginalisation of POC. So idk.. what do you think? And what’s your experience? (edited)

Ancestry

Did a thing. Wasn't surprised I was Scottish, Irish, German and British. Was surprised with the percentages though. Turns out I'm more Scottish than anything, growing up I was told I was mostly of Irish decent. The Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish were a surprise but makes sense I'm so pale I glow… (edited) read more

Spicy food upsets me. Like, who actually thought food that hurts was a good idea?? 😑 God, I am *such* a disgrace to both my ethnicities (Indian/Mexican). . .

We have so many ethnicities here. I keep on getting asked where I am from. Im Indonesian 🇮🇩

Self-love

I think self-love is missing from society, not to be confused with being narcissistic. When you look in the mirror, you should love the person looking back at you. It shouldnt be based on the beauty standards of your society or the world. I am saying, as someone who grow up thinking my flat nose… read more

Compliments?

I recently started working in retail to make some money while between jobs.within the past week I've gotten several (physical/looks based) compliments from customers of a variety of ages, ethnicities, genders. Being a guy, this doesn't necessarily feel creepy, but it does feel weird. Is this like… read more

Adulting is hard

I've spoken with a lot of Egyptians before but damn that person that I spoke to takes the top. Not only he was rude but was also arrogant wherein I'm just trying to help him with his tech issue. 🤦‍♀️ Not being racist since I speak to multiple ethnicities 5 days a week but jfc.

Very Long And Probably Controversial, But...

1940's - 1990's was THE golden era of television. Whether movies or shows, the plots and scripts were almost always well thought out and detailed, featuring characters with plenty of depth and charm. The post is MUCH longer than I intended it to be, but below, I have some comparisons. I'll be… (edited) read more

It's funny when my friends current or new ask me what ethnicities I'm attracted to most they look somewhat surprised when I tell em 😂 or when someone guesses my ethnicity is middle eastern I'm like NOPE not even the same side of the continent lol

The Girls of Dog River

I discovered the Canadian series "Corner Gas" and watched all six seasons three times. In about five weeks. Anyway, it rekindled my love for Canada, and with Midjourney being so good at ethnicities, I thought I'd try a group of five women and their pups.

Anyone feeling bore to sit at home tonight all alone and looking for a nonjudgemental person of ethnicities to hangout with am here... together we gonna murder depression

We Are.

To answer the oldest question of all.. Yes. There are still good men, I know because I consider myself among them. Some of us have different backgrounds, ethnicities or values. Some of us have health or financial issues. Some of us have different interests, hobbies or jobs. But we are here. We… read more
